This is how it's done at one of the Canary Islands's last operating salt flats. Located on the island of Lanzarote, Salinas de Janubio was constructed in 1895 to produce salt for consumption and to meet demands of the region's once robust fishing industry, which utilized the high quality, natural salts for fish preservation.
Today, artisanal salt production on the Canary Islands is in decline, but workers at Janubio continue to use traditional methods to extract salt from the sea, and hope to maintain the salt flats for future generations.

Still wondering how sea salt is made...
Alec Joseph it’s still made in the sea
Josh Moore sea salt comes from the sea. The salt came into the sea from rivers eroding the land.
I was wondering the same
Sea salt is the result of the water eroding away at stone when it hits shorelines and whatnot - the stone breaks down into different particles, including smaller rocks, sand, and of course salt. The salt levels have largely equalized now, with as much salt that is being produced being left onshore and harvested, but as long as the sea has land to beat against and stone to erode, there will always be salt.
Josh Moore lmao exactly
4 mins of cinematography with narration that makes us wondered how seas salt is made.
I was reading the subtitles until I realized close to the end that I also speak spanish and understand every word this guy is saying.
Vamos nene, enserio, ni que tenga acento tan pesado.
Ay de mí 😂🤣🤦♂️
Lol!
Hahaha😅😅😅😅
300 iq moment.
I've always respected the importance of salt, but after this, I totally have new respect for people who make it, so it can be used on a variety foods we eat everyday.
they never said how sea salt is made they just said the history about it
beautiful squidward can you not see them waiting for the tide to come in? Then waiting for the water to evaporate from the flats and shoveling it into a pile?
Typical emotional video with no actual content.
Tim Rice Let's see, 153 people up voted his comment, how many people up voted yours? Zero, now who looks like the idiot?
@@christinelovesyouX a
No one tells you how it is actually made because the initial product is dirty with many salts and sulfates. All that is hidden in all the vids I see, probably proprietary.
SALT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SPICE IN THE WORLD! EVERYONE NEEDS IT SOMEHOW!
salt is not a spice........
@@wendemekrishu293 I KNOW!! ITS MORE A LAW WHEN YOU COOKING
That's how much salt I produce too when I play league of legends.
hahaha same
my elo D:
I love Sea Salt it tastes good on anything you eat ♥️♥️♥️♥️
So basically... salt is made when saltwater gets evaporated...which leaves a residue(salt)
A Unicorn people don’t want the basic explanation, they would like to know in detail where, how etc it’s made. If your basic explanation was the case, beaches would be flooded with salt, not sand.
It doesn't matter how basic, the explanation was correct.
@@TheRedRaven_ Ever tasted the sand at the beach? It's salty... just like the ocean water that runs over it. It only needs a basic explanation because the process is basic lol. As for where... any place a factory can be setup near a salt water source?
raveskot really? This was 8 months ago and no you really didn’t explain anything such as how sea salt is mainly produced in the Mediterranean due to its dry climate or that salts vary widely in their chemical composition of not just sodium chloride’s but 10% of other salts such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium salts of chloride and sulfate.
I can go on and on, but apparently you’re the salt expert here. 🙂
@@TheRedRaven_ sounds like you're the salt expert.
When you're given an assignment and totally miss the question 🙈
Salt is "made" in the ocean, this shows how it's made into the salt on your table.
@@pyromaniac9525 Salt was brought to the ocean a long time ago when the salt rocks got dissolved by rain and came in contact with non-salty seawater. Seawater has been salty ever since that long process took place.
Salt we can't live without it
This isn't how it's made, this is how it's collected and processed
What a special yet infinitely basic craft. Fascinating history and heritage too.
I had no idea National Geographic did a Leage of Legends documentry, very informative!
0:24 I love that the brand of the excessively rusty machine is "Rust"on
I'm still wondering how salt is made. The video left me right where I started.
Thank you, after watching this I can now open my own salt mine
"salt mine"
For those wondering how it's made:
Actually it's pretty simple. They take salt water, spread it out thin in those vats, the water evaporates, leaving the salt. They scoop it out.
gg
you are right on that
Incorrect
A lot of the early Spanish settlers in Cuba came from the Canary islands and you can hear the similarities in the accents.
They didn't really show us how salt was made. Fake news.
Hawaiian Brian From salt water, water evaporates and leaves behind the salt..it's common knowledge.
They showed you the entire step by step process, everything up until it gets packaged, I think.
that's all flat earthers can say about this? shut up with your "fake news" anyone that denies our educated, disciplined media as fake and then endorses the retarded right wing russian propaganda as fact is the worst form of person on the planet...i find it shocking that anyone educated in the great country we used to live in can find unsubstantiated propaganda as fact and then reject anyone who has an education as "libtard" as if we are the uneducated ones is just beyond aggravating...this is how russia is destroying the united states and the right wingers are more clueless than usual
phil tripe Whoa there. While I'd normally agree with you, you just jumped to a shit load of conclusions based on two words this guy said. I use the words "fake news" jokingly all the time and I'm about as far away from a Trump supporter as it gets. The worst the OP can be accused of is having not noticed that they were showing the process in the entire video, and that he needed to have it spelled out for him.
UliaAB see, I just showed how to make salt better than the dude that made the video
The salt water is let in through inlets in the prepared area. The area is prepared as seen, into squares. Once full, the inlets are plugged. Over time, the water evaporates, leaving salt and other minerals.
I love the smell, taste, and feel of sea salt.
I've learnt a lot with National Geo channel! Thanks a lot!
Thanks for watching. Stay curious!
I live in Turks and our salt ponds still produce salt but not as much tho, it was only harvested on the salt islands tho (Grand Turk, Salt Cay and South Caicos) the Bermudians came here and started the salt industry, we were involved in the salt trade with Jamaica and many other countries back in the day salt was our #1 industry, it’s now Tourism … for school trips they’d take us to the salt Museum if we were on the topic in Social Studies… also we don’t harvest/ rake salt anymore but I know how it’s made
It's amazing anything can survive there.
Shows literally nothing of the process, cool
Thats where i live haha. Lanzarote!
Olivier Pensa perhaps you can tell us then how salt is made because these guys didn't. Misled us here
No clue lol
ocean water is let in. the water evaporates leaving behind salt.
Share mo lang?
this didnt explain how sea salt is made at all
Saltwater is left to evaporate I think and then sea salt forms
I'm in love with the coco !
All of that salt must make their senses SO desensitized..
Made? "Harvested" would be a much more accurate description of the process.
My personal favourite seasoning
i knew it from high school that salt came from evaporation of the sea water...i just wonder what kind process after that...in the salt plant..the process in field i already knew it.
For those who want to know how salt is made. You put Chlorine and Sodium together and watch it explode then you have salt.
Yea but those 2 compounds are already in the sea, you just need the water to evaporate.
Chlorine is an element, Sodium is an element. After they react they are a compound. You don't need the water. However, if you want to make salt from seawater then you evaporate the water.
We understood nicely and clearly nice explanation super
Muchas gracias por incluir a la olvidadas Islas Canarias.....
hola
An American company should go take this over! What a business!
Salt was brought to the ocean a long time ago when the salt rocks got dissolved by rain and came in contact with non-salty seawater. Seawater has been salty ever since that long process took place.
this reminds me of that time when i had a soup with salt in it.
It’s made from tears of salty gamers
Never explained how salt is "made" (it's not by the why), why they are fighting to save the salt flats, and what impact did the treaty have on salt production. Very poor video.
But rocks cannot be eroded in just clear water… it must come from rainfalls . Rain has a slight acid content and when it mixed up into eroded rock or rocks and it stored for many years or decades. So once it stored then element/s occured and one of them is Salt.
I speak Spanish and when the narrator starting speaking I thought this was Cuba, Puerto Rico, or the Dominican Republic. I was surprised this was the Canary Islands. The accent is very similar. The Canary Islanders don't speak like the mainland Spaniards.
Now I am having a headache trying to read the subtitle.
I thought all salt was sea salt.
God is great. Thanks for sharing.
We really take salt for granted.
Ive been to the salt works on la palma twice (there is a lovely restaurant there called Jardin de sal) And you would think that the whole process is dull but its a really interesting! I even have a tub of the salt produced there
is it pure sea water? or they added something to make crsytalize like sugar?
@@jinshark9078 literally just evaporated sea water. Its good salt too!
Seems like a big, long rainstorm would wash a lot of those piles away. Guessing they must not get much rain there.
Salt is already made, we just harvest or mine it!
Wow.. all the world's salt is made by those 3 guys?? :O amazing
We have salt flats, yes, but what about salt mountains?
This blew my mind.
What happens to that heaps of salt when it rains
I'm confused... did I miss something? This didn't tell the step by step process on how it is harvested. It only talked about the history, traditions, etc that goes into harvesting. This didn't answer the question at all.
I wonder if sea salt is worse than underground salt, with all the microplastic polluting our oceans.
very much so...i used to buy sea salt but my last container, at the end, wouldn't flow so i opened it up and it was full of plastic bits that can't go through the holes...so mined salt is now safest as nearly all sea salts have been found to contain large amounts of microplastic that has broken down and bleached by the sun to where it blends in very well with salt
stickloaf those plastics were probably from the container itslef lol... microplastics would definitely pass through those holes since they’re much smaller than salt grains
When it's heavily raining all the salts will get dissolved, right?
This is about that man's trade but did not explain how salt is made. Did not also explain how salt appeared in the beach.
watching this while eating a pack of salt nyum2.
Mr. Brown and his salt piles got along famously.
I speak Spanish, but I had trouble understanding it. Different dialects of the same languages are weird.
It was really interesting to learn about this stuff too.
This is a Canarian accent... to be specific, the Lanzarote dialect of the Canary Islands (island archipelago of Spain near North African coast).
@@IslenoGutierrez They sound a lot like Puerto Ricans or Cubans.
@@coupleofbeers31 You mean Cubans and Puerto Ricans sound like them. Canary Islanders (known historically as isleños), took this accent to the Caribbean where it heavily led to the formation of Caribbean Spanish accents and dialects (there was also some Andalusian input as well).
@@IslenoGutierrez Well, yes, obviously it came from Spain. However I am speaking from the point of view of someone who has only heard the PR and C accent, I didn't mean any disrespect. I am not from Europe, I am actually from Florida and have lived in New York as well, so obviously I only have the Puerto Rican and Cuban experience, not the Spanish one.
@@coupleofbeers31 It’s understandable. You don’t have exposure to Canarian people. But if you are in the U.S., there is a population of Canarian descendants in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana known as the isleños of Louisiana that still carry the Canarian dialect of Spanish. I don’t know if you’ve heard them before or not. Probably not if you’re from Florida. Speaking of which, many Cubans and Puerto Ricans are descendants of Canarians and Cuban and Puerto Rican Spanish is very influenced Canarians.
So much salt in this video
very good
Still don’t know how it’s made thanks.
I learned in fourth grade that they take the water from the sea and put on the land then the water evaporates leaving the salt behind
Thank you
I like sea salt from the good ocean, so much tastier than alumni salt, and bnzne salt, or that taste enhancer that doesn't come from sea weed, the sea weed natural stuff that doesn't come from pstcde is really good
😂 salt .... my grandma is thinking of salt is made
short process - get sea water, boiled it till drying..then u can sell the pure salt.. then blend it!!
What’s keeping the sand out. They just shoveling
I mean this really only showed how poorly Europe manages natural resources with Minecraft music in the background. Random tasks doesn't explain how it's done.
I really like 🧂 ❤
to think that the term "salary" comes from the latin root "sal" or Salt... as roman soldiers were paid in blocks of salt, for it was a premium back in the day. kinda like bitcoins today.
That 4 minute video was so slow paced it felt like 40 minutes. and it never said how sea salt was made.
good
video is about that town and its economic history with salt, not how salt is made
awesome
Does that mean that the salt in my Cheese burger was stepped upon by dirty boots and left outside for days before it reached my dinner?
sushanalone maybe the cleanest stuff of your burger
sushanalone, just think of the bird poop as one of the "trace minerals" they tout as healthful and organic!
And fish poop.
Yes I have, and I'm continue to wonder how sea salt is made...
if rain in harvesting or processed into the sea salt what can they do and what they solve problem
I literally searched this up for no reason just curious asf.
You searched it up because you felt salty
@@smellypatel5272 😂😂😂
Remember, remember the Fifth of November . . .
Hope it's not a windy day
Not good for blood pressure. Better to avoid it
How do they make sea water salt? Still searching the answer.
cara nya...??? aur laut naik ke darat kemudian datang kemarau dahsyat maka semua jadi garam...??? begitu kah...?
I'm still wanting to know how dose the sae pudusious the salt?
Very Interesting. Thank you. ☺️
We love being your portal to the world...and beyond!
So how it is made?
What's the exactly initiation process they didn't show
A bit disappointing for National Geographic. The title is somewhat misleading and could have been edited better without all the filler shots. Still interesting though.
PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WATCHING THIS VIDEO.
Correct title of the video:
HOW NOT TO SHOW HOW SALT IS MADE
sea salt is not made, its simply collected. ocean water is placed out to evaporate leaving the salt behind.
Check out Sečovlje salt pans - Soline. This is how we do it in Slovenia ;)
This would be a lot more interesting if it were in English.
I guess with Trump being the President, the salt production has quadrupled in the US. For the right reasons.
lol
Since machines were used to harvest salt, people that used to manually harvest salt are feeling a bit salty...
I just want to know what kind of people dislike videos like these? 🤔
In every salt-making video they say that they make "natural" salt.
That begs the question. What is "un-natural" salt?
...what happens when it rains? Or if its windy out?
I still want to learn how salt is made. Misleading title
