The best naps of my lifetime occur while I watch documentaries of salt and I love me some salt

Jacobsen Salt Co is amazing! We appreciate that they care about protecting our marine ecosystems.

My folks and I enjoy Jacobsen Salt Company, and I was intrigued to learn about the mechanisms behind their luxurious sea salts. :)

For the reverse osmosis process, I would add ash to the area where water is drawn from the ocean, to kosher the source. For the re-enactment process, it would be interesting to see someone attempt with clay pots and a brick stove.

Enjoyed this very much. Thanks! How did the local Native Americans historically get salt? Did they have a salt trade of any kind? Would be interested in that story if possible.

salt crystals are beautiful, I'm jealous of the lady who really loves the craft of what she does ❤

@theobserver9131 3 месяца назад

Is there no salt where you live? Jealousy is a silly choice.

@eyvindr 3 месяца назад

I made salt from seawater once on a stovetop. You just need to 'harvest' it from the water at the right time as the crystals are forming, like the guy from Jacobsen says. Otherwise it re-dissolves and becomes a grey mush like the historical reenactment.

I came here to watch water boil. I was not disapointed.

That's cool.

He has to go check it every day. It's on public property and you can't put up a private fence or anything like that. You always check your gear before starting up for the day but in this case there's a double need - nothing privately owned can be built there and even if it could it couldn't be secured physically anyhow. 🙂 The entire Oregon Coast is public property - in fact, public access is required by law at regular intervals, which is why you observe so many places to get down to the ocean (even if hundreds of vertical feet of stairs need to be built) and why there are so many full featured campgrounds, state and national parks, and locations where the public can harvest their own food along the entire length without having to set foot in a boat.

There is no safe food in the ocean anymore. Mercury, radiation, PFAS and tons of plastics daily from China. The stuff will end your life, prematurely.

Oh my, i have been looking for flake salt for months now. Its harder to find then you think.

In Europe there are salt beds by the Mediterranean.

What about the MERCURY, Fukushima radiation, and other contaminants in the sea today?

Historically, salt is made by air drying not boiling.

@theobserver9131 3 месяца назад

Ach! Why are they burning stuff to evaporate the water? The sun can do that just fine, and it's free, and doesn't ruin everything.

@mouseclub50 3 месяца назад

It might be faster than waiting for the sun to do it, would be my guess. Around there it’s also not a guarantee that it will be sunny out.

@jamesdriscoll_tmp1515 3 месяца назад

What is this "Sun" you speak of, and where in Oregon may I find it?

@@jamesdriscoll_tmp1515 ....but anyway....water will still evaporate without heat. It just takes longer. Good thing is, you don't HAVE to stand there watching it. You can get other things done while you're waiting.
