  • The Only Rock We Eat? the History of SALT!
    Its the only rock we eat. In this video, we'll focus on the Story of Salt. Once considered sacred now superfluous. What could me more common than the salt and pepper at our tables? Let's take a deep dive into the rich history of this amazing mineral!

    So I wake up in the middle off the night wondering about the history of salt and here we are. The internet is a great thing.

    I looked this up for my kids. They wanted to know how salt and pepper got thier names. We listened to this over our dinner table. Thank you for putting this together for us. Your closing comments really hit home . The kids and I wonder what future generations will think of us fighting over oil when they are running on solar and renewables. ?????

      It wasn't easy to get back then. You had to mine it, and that was tough labor. And, it was the most useful substance. It preserved food!

      @@NeostormXLMAX Desalination has been known to history for millennia as both a concept, and later practice, though in a limited form. The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle observed in his work Meteorology that “salt water, when it turns into vapour, becomes sweet and the vapour does not form salt water again when it condenses,” and also noticed that a fine wax vessel would hold potable water after being submerged long enough in seawater, having acted as a membrane to filter the salt.[122] There are numerous other examples of experimentation in desalination throughout Antiquity and the Middle Ages,[123] but desalination was never feasible on a large scale until the modern era.[124] A good example of this experimentation are the observations by Leonardo da Vinci (Florence, 1452), who realized that distilled water could be made cheaply in large quantities by adapting a still to a cookstove.[125] During the Middle Ages elsewhere in Central Europe, work continued on refinements in distillation, although not necessarily directed towards desalination.[126].

      Precisely because of how useful it was. Not only was it considered scarred, for rituals and offerings. But, it was used as a food preservative before the invention of refrigeration. So, I can't help but imagine how vital it was in this function of storing storing food over the course of history.
