Jugyeom, or nine times roasted bamboo salt, sometimes also known as purple bamboo salt, can cost almost $100 for an 8.5-ounce jar. To make bamboo salt, sea salt must be repeatedly roasted inside of bamboo at temperatures over 800 degrees celsius. The goal is to enrich the salt with minerals and to reduce toxicity. But depending on where you buy it, purple bamboo salt can cost more than 10 times the price of pink Himalayan salt. That labor-intensive process makes purple bamboo salt the most expensive salt in the world.

Tried the bamboo salt and while I say shenanigans on health benefits, taste wise I could taste the bamboo salt way more clearly than regular sea salt with less bamboo salt even. It does have a hint of a grassy taste too like a burger with just a tiny bit of lettuce. Not worth the price by any means but very tasty and visually appealing (looked pretty cool on fries lol )

Cave Salt is a salt that's ten times the price of bamboo salt. Most of the cost comes from the labor intensive process of extracting Cave Salt. It can only be found in the deepest parts of a very dangerous underground cave system, where only a few expert cave divers can access. This cave system has a lot of mineral deposits, which gives Cave Salt its very famous aquamarine coloring. It's not sour, bitter, nor sweet. Shockingly, its taste is actually very salty. It also provides various health benefits.

Bamboo salt is actually a modern invention btw. Its first producer states that, though it is true that something similar existed long time ago. Unfortunately this silly sounding bamboo salt is basically one of two ways of getting salt with decent purity as South Korean salt industry is heavily cartelized and even is heavy source of organized crime involving in forced labour that nobody tries to root out. South Western Island region, Shinahn is the biggest supplier of the salt for Korea and is extremely dangerous defacto slaver haven that nobody should enter. Those so called sea salts from that slaver islands are junks but boomers have myth of believing these junk salts as good salt. Because of serious impurity of salts, you have only two options for getting reasonable salt. Either buy factory produced pure salt that tastes indifferently, or buy that over priced bamboo salt which is a salt that literally burnt entire undesirables from junk salt from slaver lsles - with risk of having additional byproducts being added during processing. Regardless do not ask me why. You will never understand idiotic 'suspiciously wealthy' Korean boomers. They are the nations's biggest cancer.

@brendant19 3 года назад

@@angelaphsiao this is not something modern manufacturing has been unable to overcome. They're already making a lot of fine powder the way they're doing it, just very slowly. There are various ways to crush or break something so you get the mostly the right crystal size. Then you just use a series of filters to separate whatever isn't the right size. The way they're doing it is painfully slow and I can't imagine why a cleaver is the preferred tool, even if they're going to do it by hand.

@aberroa1955 3 года назад

@@angelaphsiao Actually, industrial grinders could make it much much more consistent, whatever size (chunks or powder) or structure (same size or different size) is desired, it's much better done by machines than by hand, it's all just depends on grinder's properties and a bit of automated sieving. This thing - it's just waste of money and time, as you can do pretty much same salt by mixing regular salt and ash, or better - with different kinds of salts, like a bit of potassium chlorine, tiny bit of iron oxide and calcium carbonate. Done. That'd be same salt, but without possibly undesired additives and compounds and way, way cheaper.

It then ends with Moe asking if he had any cheaper way of getting ice he should tell him. Not to make fun of their profession, but if you put 100 crew members to roast ice twenty times in a row some then it isn't surprising that it would be costing a lot.
