- These salt-making techniques are among the rarest - and oldest - in the world. We visited four countries to see how some of the oldest salt-making methods have survived for centuries. We saw pink Himalayan salt made in Pakistan, and palung salt made in Indonesia with volcanic sand, and purple bamboo salt made in South Korea.

How Four Of The Rarest Salts Survived For Centuries | Still Standing | Insider Business
Both the Mexican salt and the Indonesian salt need more PR. Have some tourist guide bring them to the site to see the work that has to be done to create the salt. Have a salt stand near by for selling salt. Extra bonus points if some tourist restaurants/hotels dining area would use the salt as part of some feature dish. Also have it available to sell to guests. Foodie, healthy living people , fair trade supporter, eco-friendly people and others would totally eat this up. The story really writes itself.
Yea pls show the people that he uses his dirty bare feet that he walked up the mountain on to crush the salt
Some things just are inferior and should fade away. If they never humanity would never progress. This is for educational purposes, not because this is worthy to preserve for any other reason than educational purposes.
I'd have rather have his dirty feet salt than the toxic substances they sell in American grocery stores.
@@theurbanthirdhomestead Thank you, I don't why dirt = bad in America. I'll take some dirt over rat droppings in my peanut butter, but that just me.
@@fukkitful 🙋♂️
All respects to Juan. What a achievement… total respect.
But working in that white shirt… must be hard.
i think he use white shirt to feel cooler because he is working under the intense heat of sun..
@@jonathan1640 I thought it was because he is the Salt Jesus
As Indonesian myself I rarely saw Indonesian salt sold at the market. These days I bought local salt from online stores, but as the video said it is 4x-10x the price of imported refined salt. I can understand why even locals consider it as a luxury.
I'm curious: is Nengah speaking a completely different dialect or language? As a Malaysian, I can understand what the husband is saying, but not her 😅
0:28 --- Zapotitlán, Mexico
8:09 --- Punjab, Pakistan
16:32 --- Bali, Indonesia
24:34 --- Gochang, South Korea
Yeah they're repeat videos. This is just a compilation.
these salt makers are definately in need of modernizing of the way they sell their High quality salt
As a Balinese, thank you for this video, my grandparents used to make salt, now they're too old to do that again
Someone get the first man a solar panel for power, starlink for internet, and get him selling to Americans or the world online. I bet a small pump would help him tremendously too
Pass on the foot salt
@@yesican2012 thats not true, go back and listen to the video carefully...theyre not allowed to sell the LAND.
They literally discuss 25 groups combining to make a brand and sell it higher prices...are you dense? stop stating false information lmao so dumb
@@ButterNut33.81k
You are correct. I misunderstood.
My comment removed.
@@Kurry34 That salt is cleaner than your hands!
The website is : sal de pueblo. TH-cam deleted the link.
Prices range from $5 to $12.
Again, I wish links were provided so that we may support these producers.
Gracias a Juan por continuar con la sal artesanal Mexicana.
De México para el mundo.
the zapotitlan mexico salt place looks like a movie set. Love it.
10:33 that tractor loves its job.
Try searching Truck Art Pakistan
There is another salt processing in India, similar to the Korean method we use clay pots and heat salt for a few days, we call it black salt which is used in fruit taste enhancers and is good for digestion.
Those pink salt mines being 64F is actually amazing. Whether its just naturally cool down there or not, that must be a pretty ok work environment for the likes of the mining industry!
Nearly all caves and mines or such are around that tempature as long as air flow is present! Usually much colder during the summer and hotter during the winter!
I was told just average the tempature of a place all year long. Then if you go into a cave it will usually be around that tempature with some exceptions.
Cellars and basements also sit around that tempature. Just depends on how well insulated a place is!
I do know the deeper you go the hotter it gets due to geological phenomenon. Like the diamond caves in Africa or the Crystal Caves in South America are just unbearably hot.
Then there was one cave that this guy told me about that was exceptionally cold due to some underground rivers bringing in glacier cold water which cooled them down.
Most important thing about caves is airflow. Some can be stifling.
Juan wears the pride of his ancestors well. I wish I could somehow send him some money for his efforts and as a token of respect
Bro Juan is 41...that salt making him young
rocks for feet
I said the same, was shocked to hear his age
🤔...ergo, salt is indeed a great preservative 🤣🎶🎵
Now we know the "fountain of youth"
16:48 I’m sorry, did she say 45?
The first fellow would benefit tremendously from some technical upgrades such as a simple pumping and filtration system. Nothing super involved or expensive.
that tractor in the pink salt mine was so gloriously beautiful!
Its awesome, thier work trucks are always decorated to the hilt, practically everything is
I would LOVE to buy this. I don’t care if it’s at an increased rate compared to other salts.
Those guys in Pakistan are treated like workers in sweat shops, people need to stop buying any salt from there until the workers get more then 7 dollars a day for working. Its absurd they can sit there in those expensive suits and talk about being screwed over by India when they are doing the same thing if not worse to the workers.
Why are you saying "if not worse" as if India wasn't sourcing it from those same miners working in Pakistan but making a far greater profit margin while having none of the liability? I agree with you though that their wages need to be increased.
Maybe you missed the part where the dude said they get paid well and on time.
@@jjww30 🤡
Fascinating.... didn't think I'd be watching, and enjoying, a video about salt on a sunny Friday afternoon. Thanks!
I know they can’t afford this but a $200 pump would radically improve their working conditions
Industrial salt producers "Adding preservatives to the salt" mydude... what.... It's salt. What's it gonna do? Rot or get moldy? Salt is THE Preservative of the ages.
He should think about building a canopy over the salt pools (maybe fully inclusive thrm in a greenhouse like building. That way he can still make salt when it rains.
The craziest thing is that about $150 a week is the average salary in Mexico for those in labor jobs. Some earn more as servers or working for the waste companies because of the tips clients give them or work bonuses and benefits like teachers
Why would you need to add preservers to salt? THE natural preserver! Way to go big salt.. lol
EXACTLY
FURTHERMORE, REFINED SALT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO MINERALS BECAUSE THEY REFINED OUT & THE MINERALS SOLD TO FARMERS FOR ANIMAL FEED.
THEN MORE CHEMICALS ADDED FOR ANTI-CLUMPING, ETC
@@David-zl3bi define "mineral"
Lets say Calcite (CaCO3), thats a mineral
Normal table salt (NaCl) is a mineral, halite is what its called
Both of these are salt (as in a metal ion, Na+ and Ca2+ with CO32- and Cl-)
@@floofypoofybread OUR BODIES NEED TRACE MINERALS SMALL AMOUNTS DAILY...ZINC, COPPER, MAGNESIUM, ETC.,. BUT MOST WESTERNERS ARE DEFICIENT !!
@@David-zl3bi ugh, may I have your data of reference?
Hawaiians have traditional methods of making salt too :)
Um. I find myself wanting to make a large investment in Juan’s salt.
Juan should invest in a generator and some pumps . He can get them second hand cheaply and he would be able to do more work with less effort.
Funny how they want more people to buy from these small sellers but they almost never say the name so people can actually search for them and buy from them
I would love to visit these place and learn the process. Even if I never went into the buisness. Learning the age old traditions would be wondrous and then I could share that learning with others.
The whole process is fascinating to watch. Keep up the good work.
It's not
The first guy is juan hard worker👍
juan a gangster. he gonna be balling in the future.
Please @Insider Business share some links for us to support these businesses!
I know that stomping and squishing wet salt with my bare feet would sting so bad but I really really want to 🥲
Juan needs help in getting his local laws changed so that he can sell to a wider audience.
He can. The sale of the land is what is prohibited
He can't sell the native land to outsiders, but he can sell the product but since it's just salt most Mexicans aren't hyped about it.
Incredible source of our daily life
If this guy used gravity to aid in transporting the water from 1 section to another he would of saved himself allot of hard work
The flavor of Juan's feet is what makes it special
Lol! That’s why I won’t be eating that salt! 🤢
@@rainesonne1320 dude, this guy has the cleanest feet in the world, tf you people talking about.
That's what I said lol
Juan flavored Salt 🤣
@@rainesonne1320 Salt kills bacteria, you're eating daily more bacteria than ever lived on this man's feet.
WOW , this is so interesting .
really goes to show the will and commitment of dedicated individuals that arnt in it for the money a dieing trait
always wil be someone to exploit that though
These are artisanal workers are heroes
Expedient episode 👌
we have salt mines here in the US, in the state of Utah - which millions of years ago was part of an ocean
I absolutely LOVE pink salt. Its so...refined, delicious. Its such a treat.
I don't know if this was a joke or not, but pink salt is not refined. That's why it's pink. Salt is white (colorless), as you know. Other minerals are colorful and the presence of other minerals along with the salt is why those rocks are pink. Those other minerals happen to be edible but if they weren't, you would just die from eating it.
@@sebaschan-uwu Refined as in tasty.
@@ArthropodJay I'd suggest not misusing words
@@sebaschan-uwuBruhh who are you the adjective police this is a 7 month old comment that i was probably high while making
Juan makes me Proud of being MEXICAN... 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Much respect from 🇺🇸
Bravo for the salt miners, thank you for your hard work 🙏🏽
Nangga you are a gift for the Balinese!
We humans get really creative at producing salt!
I thought the title was "How Four Of The Rarest Salts Survived For Curries" I didn't know curry was so important 😂😂
Their feet undoubtedly make the salt one of the rarest in the world.
Did anyone else notice that the miner said they get paid well and on time only for insider to then say how little they actually make 😭
New ASMR Girl is supporting you 🎉🎉🎉
Content is really great for us to learn
Thx for sharing this precious content ❤❤❤
I still get a kick out of seeing salt block products like lamps, candle holders, etc., with labels saying 'not for human consumption'. It's all from the same mines. I routinely buy salt lamps or blocks at garage sales for under $3 and hang them outside for the livestock.
We have quite the salt collection. It would have been nice to see links here to purchase the items.
Off to go hunt down salt.
The funny thing about artisanal and craft salt, is that at the end of the day all of it is just salt. It all tastes the same because it is all the same compound, no matter how you make or harvest it.
how about you taste the salts and then you can check if the "It all tastes the same because it is all the same compound, no matter how you make or harvest it." is still true or not
dude left to take a shit
It's still salt tho. I've had pink salt and black salt they all havea diff taste but reg salt is the best for food. All the fancy salts just don't help the food that well, at least in my opinion
SO HOW CAN WE BUY HIS SALT ???!!
Per indigenous laws, they can not sell outside the community.
I misunderstood and was corrected by Vandit Marfut.
It is the land they are not allowed to sell outside the community. Not the salt.
@@yesican2012 OK, SO HOW CAN WE ORDER THIS SALT ??
@@David-zl3bi
Well, youtube deleted the link.
The website is: sal de pueblo.
Prices range from $5 to $12, depending on how many ounces you want.
Or from Etsy - when they are not sold out.
I think we would have to go there and buy some. Hopefully, the co-op will improve the situation.
Not only do u get mountain salt. You get feet sweat
Hi, could you look into the Kalahari rock salt of Botswana - thanks!
wow
I like it
Jesus loves you and is coming back soon!
Believe in His death and resurrection and accept Him as your Lord and Saviour and be saved and abandon your sins and turn to Him!
Have an amazing day!😊❤
Asin Tibuok from Bohol, Philippines should also be included in this list of rare salts.
Where can I get some of that first salt?
Where can we buy Juan's salt?
have a look in Portugal they have a hull town on sea salt
in figuera da foz and see fields of salt
What’s the brand name for Juan’s salt? I know it’s in that city in Mexico. But numerous brands pop up?
I REALLY wish documentaries like this could leave a donation site for these people or websites to buy the product. i am watching this and wanting to buy the product and...crickets
It would be nice to see some of the shelf price for artisanal salt going back to the actual workers rather than being siphoned off by mddlemen.
No links to buy any of juans salt...video makers are exploitating these people
Himayan salt just tastes better I'm my opinion
I would be interested in buying some of this salt. You cant find stuff like this in stores. They need e-commerce, and access to local shipping facilities like DHL or Fedex that can get products to the States
Zapititlan salt is it sold in San Diego?
Send us your salt and we'll send you our safety glasses.
we should pay them more.
Then the cartels will take over.😒
Your saying nobody wants to pay extra for foot salt? Interesting
The workers from Mexico and Indonesia have beautiful feet
Make a video on sambalpuri text tile industry
Please use metric measurements. Most of the world doesn’t know Fahrenheit
If the first guy had a marketing team he could sell that salt for 50 times as much I bet
For how long, if they keep mining it
TL;DR this salt is expensive because they refuse to modernize their manufacturing process
This is a reupload, right?
Yup - they love bundling a few Still Standings together and call it a new video 🙄
It all taste the same to me. I’ll stick with my .50 cent grocery label salt lol
Why won't laws let Juan and the other produsers sell online? I would personally buy. Damn politicians and their stupid laws
Because those governments want to keep their people poor. It is easier to be corrupt when the people have no other options. Too many Countries are like that, run by greedy men.
@@jaklg7905 Couldn't agree more
I feel like its cartels that don’t let him sell it
Khabar dar aap sab side pe ho jaye!
As someone who works in food production and manufacturing, I sympatize with Juan. He is a hard working man. The salt is well produced however his production methods does not meet hygienic standards. Seeing him barefoot on salt does not make his salt narrative marketable. Wearing rubber or silicone boots would be better at least. Also if he had a pump system, he could pump the water and let it rest to get clear water. Salt tastes much better in clean water than in dirt water trust me. I understand we cannot change some traditions however if he wants his salt to sell,he will have to make some changes.
i read this as "How Four Of The Rarest insults Survived For Centuries." i am forever disappointed.
I sometimes wonder if these people would do well in the Olympics. I'm sure their particular skillset would fit with at least one sport out there.
Man, three tonnes of salt every 6 weeks for just over $100 a week to take home. That really does keep me humble. Shit could be worse.
he is more concern on his profit rather than his employees' ear drums
❤❤❤👍👍👍👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very honorable work, at least he's not working for the cartel.
Mmmm salt
Jesus this was a raincheck I make 176 a day and I thought I was struggling
What did she say at 19:29 ?
There are more places around mesoamerica where mayan ppl got salt using differents processes
My family are from one of them, it's called black salt and has an unique flavor and process too.
Amazing too see the same problematic juan has with the salt from here, no ppl interested to continue making it and no good value of it 😢
I developed a crush in Shin Min-Kyu tkx
Salt that’s not overly salty………..🤔😕🤔🤔
U would think something so rare would fetch a far higher price
I like my salt with just a little bit of feet and sweat.
Gripper salt!
No chemicals just Juana toe James
People are actually paying for overpriced Sodium Chloride! 😂😂 The pink one with one extra rust in it!
Damn that tractor outside himaliyan salt mine was over decorated.... these folks luvs their ride
The yuppies in the states would kill for the salt in the first one. They love that organic sh*t and feet.
Personally, I'd be happy to help him too. 50 cents for a liter of salt. Wild!!
