The Last Salt King Of Mexico #155

Making Salt with Feet

In this video, we meet Juan, one of the last producers of natural salt in the world. He and his family have been making salt for hundreds of years using traditional methods. However, due to the rise of big companies producing cheap salt, Juan's job is disappearing. Despite this, he continues to produce 100% natural salt with his feet and maintain his family's tradition.

The History of Salt Production

• Salt was once a precious and rare commodity that made salt makers a lot of money.

• Big companies can now make salt very cheaply, causing small-scale producers like Juan to struggle financially.

Juan's Traditional Method

• Juan makes salt by using his feet to extract seawater from shallow pools.

• He then boils the water until only the salt remains.

• The final product is 100% natural and free from any additives or chemicals.

Supporting Small-Scale Producers

• By choosing organic food over processed food, we can support small-scale producers like Juan.

• This helps them continue their traditions and make a living doing what they love.
