They gotta have the softest, most exfoliated feet in the world
@@hunchbackofnutribun yes girl, you know that salt is full of foot particles 😭
@@avaf02 Perfectly digestible :p
Lol true tho
A bit of keratin with your salt.
I bet his feet is cleaner than our faces.
People complaining about how they use their feet probably don’t understand their feet are probably cleaned before they go in since wearing shoes would probably contaminate it a lot more. They treat their feet like their hands in this case
I wash my hands 10+ times a day and would never stick them in someone else’s food lol
@@someone7554I have bad news for you then.
In a lot of places people don’t use gloves when cooking because it will just transfer on the glove so it’s easier to use your hands and just wash them
@@SecondSonofQishan I work in a kitchen I should know this. Dunno what I was thinking lol
Salt is salt. Unrefined in this case just means more contaminants (including bits of foot skin it seems)
also minerals that are good for you
@@keko9180 unless you're eating hundreds of thousands of milligrams of this salt every day, there is a negligible amount of minerals that you get from it
@@keko9180 there are about a million other ways to get your body the necessary minerals
with Hanks rocks
Eww that's wrong.
I do not want to think about how dry and painful his feet are from being in salt all day. Ouchie.
Probably super soft too
One cut and that dude is gone
They get really soft. Salt soap bars are divine!
@@hellskitchenkritterandfrie3372haha they do *not*. Long term salt exposure cracks skin like mud left in the sun.
兄ちゃんが水虫でないことを祈る
varmaan kaverilla on aika pehmeät jalanpohjat 😂
Not after All that Salt on his feet he doesn't 😂
💀💀💀💀
it's okay.
they also clean it before selling.
with their feet 😭💀
😂😂😂😂
Yum! Foot salt! Will go great with foot wine!
Who puts salt in wine ur weird
@@brizagranadeno wine used to be made from stomping grapes barefoot, hence the foot wine.
@@Svid1701D oh Ik but y would u mention them together as is ur gonna eat them together
@@brizagranadeno Haha, I see what you mean. I just meant both foods are prepared with feetsies. Sorry for the confusion!
@@Svid1701D lol it’s ok I always knew wat u ment I just like the weird way of looking at it better it’s funnier too
Artisinal salts like these need to be celebrated. If you think it's just salt, then those same sentiments could be applied to basically other types of seasoning. And if you think it's dirty and unsanitary, news flash, it's salt, you don't eat it as is. You use salt as a condiment and used as seasoning to food, and in most cases it's a little at a time. If those contaminants, that you think are apparent and are very concerning, are actually as apparent and as concerning as they are. With the amount of salt each salt farmer makes, he'd be losing layers of his skin each kilogram of salt sold, and the farmers would be walking skinless.
Oh so we can spit on raw meat? It's supposed to be cooked later
@@szymonkauza6092 Please be honest, with yourself. You would still eat a subway sandwich, even if you know there's a non-zero chance that your food will have hair.
I'm not seasoning my food with feet
Remember that our peanut butter is allowed a certain percentage of rodent waste/hair. "contamination" is the rest of the world getting into us. Don't think TOO deep on this. We are not actually clean and sterile either.
I agree that other spices have nuance but salt is salt man. Unless it’s seasoned with something you aren’t going to be able to tell the difference between sources of salt given their the same texture
Makes me think of the grape stomping into wine process.
Makes me think of the overzealous wine grape-stomping TV reporter that toppled off of the stand whilst doing a live broadcast.
This kind of salt gathering was introduced by Filipinos to Mexico. This kind of system is south east Asian style.
Ok
It was introduced over 2000 years about long before any Filipino ever even knew that America existed
Some birds might be flying over the area and dropping their shit, or foot skin or if it's windy, dirt and sand might get into those pools..
Contamination doesn't necessarily have to be bacterial or fungal. That looked brown and dirty
These People Work Hard.
Seems pretty normal work for me
And they only get $.50/L, to split, minus costs
And they only sell to locals?? See, this is where a business rep needs to show up, slap branding on this, and sell it as a premium product to rich foodies
@@kiwi9065😂😂😂stop yapping
Why do desalination plants discharge their salty water into the ocean and the salt evaporators not use it instead?
That would cost too much. Listen to how much ALL that hard ass work was Worth in Salt at the end of the Video. .50¢😢
@@kissdakittycat84nah they have a point they pump it into the ocean when it's so high salinity it would make great salt
@@infernaldaedraNot even Mehrunes Dagon knows the reason.
@@infernaldaedra Because you need a separate process to extract it. It is still a Brine and you need salt pens to evaporate it and extract the salt. The problem is - the margins a so low that you just cant compete with rock salt extraction. Even doing so , you can extract 5 % of the Brine because it takes time and you have a lot of brine that you need to get rid of. Otherwise you need to heat it up to expedite. Some plants do it - those that use the heat- distillation method for desalination. However those plants are only build in countries that can afford to burn oil (like S Arabia).
@@mowtow90 Untill we can grow the balls necessary to make nuclear plants that generate RO water
They need to be paid more, its really hard work!
You don't even know what they make. 😂😂 You just say that on auto pilot.
@@john56801laborers like this never get paid adequately
How much are they paid and whos paying them? Its not that hard of work though, yeah its labor but there are much much harder jobs even in the modern world, like coal mining for example
@@QuadMochaMattiyou need someone to talk bro?
Why though? I don't understand this thinking as it disregards basic economic principles
You pay more for a product when feet are involved
Surprisingly its qctually way cheaper, too cheap honestly with how hard the workers are working for it. 50 cents per kilo is a banging deal
Although, idk if i'll enjoy foot salt. So i'd pass
How do they clean the salt before packaging it?
They don't.
It's self-cleaning...😂
Thats what they say to make you feel better 😂
It’s literally grains of rock
also with their feet 👍😭
Can salt kill bacteria?
Due to its antibacterial properties salt has long been used as a preservative. Salt kills some types of bacteria, effectively by sucking water out of them. In a process known as osmosis, water passes out of a bacterium so as to balance salt concentrations on each side of its cell membrane.
Wow you can close the Wiki now
Salt with a side of feet skin shavings of some random Mexican dude
😆 you know i used to hear "my blood sweat and tears went into the work" and after the last 4 years of other countries videos working, i can see why it's been said for so long.
This looks quite similar to Les Marais Salants in France!
50cent per kilo?
Why am i paying 23$ at my local store?
industry charge, all the automation, distribution, marketing and employee payroll to manage all that not to forget big fat check to execs
Did i hear that right or were you legit saying $23 for something essential such as salt
Well, it’s gotta be shipped out (cost of truck and a driver) to a warehouse (storage fees, a worker to unload it and move it) then reloaded on a truck to get to a warehouse that’s closer to the store (worker to load, truck costs and driver again) then unloaded at the warehouse and reloaded on a delivery truck (worker x 2, driver n truck again) then worker at the store to unload the truck and stock the shelf… it adds up quickly… I’ll post a work up in a minute
CAUSE I WANT IT THAT WAYY!!! MMHHUAAAAHAAHAAAHAAA. BAAAHHAAAHAAHAAA😆😈😈😈
23$? It's R10 per 500g here. $23 is like R300.
They can add a hand pump for water transfer
Their definition of clean is very lenient.
They should probably up the price ten cents and buy some rubber boots.
No
Yes
I mean dead skin in ur salt but these plp work hard and I'm very sure none of you (including me) would like to do their job
Do you want rubber boot particles in your salt then? Why tf are people so freaked out about the feet, farmers literally put animal poop in the soil to make vegetables grow nice and big. You bathe any natural body of water? Water animals poop there too.
People that think like this usually outgrow it with age... Or when they experience what it's like having nothing to eat.
Unnecessary
Hmmm, salty toe jam on a hot Mexican day. DELICIOUS!!!
I'd like to show this guy how they manufacture salt in factories.
Hey sweet so I get to have foot with my salt
Himalayan salt is pure, clean & every particle is untouched.
Wow no boots? I can't imagine they they can't afford some cheap rubber boots so that they don't have to eventually amputate their feet when the salt sores progress.
There’s something like this in Turks and Caicos. So neat
salt and dead feet skin and feet and nail dirt
, yum
Amazing 😍😍😍
Well, I find that unrefined salt has a wider flavor profile, which I prefer. Yum, foot skin. LOL. There are traces of other minerals in there as well.
“Clean” pool?? That’s a stretch.
Can you put the link for the video for your shorts? I enjoy watching this kind of video, i want the full length
Feet salt
Mmmmm nothing like some exfoliated foot fungus in the morning on my eggs.
mmmm foot fungus with it
Oouh, I don't wanna imagine the state of their skin...
Don't worry guys, the yellow fungal toenails are just to give the salt flavor 🙃
Wow eating salt as had people's FEET in it first!!! I can't tell you how appetizing that sounds.
mmmmm flaky feets skins
No thanks I'll take some soulless machine-made salt
Ok but tbh it’s a lot less salt flavor
@@brizagranadenook I`ll just use more salt
@@FieryRedDonkeyOfHell Ik u do u nvr said u couldnt just saying less flavor which sucks
@@brizagranadeno less Salt flavor? It's still NaCl, they raster exactly the same
@@szymonkauza6092 some have more intensity u can do the same with alcohol and sugar and rice that’s y white sugar sucks sometimes
The brush and plastic bag that they use as a mesh degrade over time and cause microplastic in salt. 😐
Before westernization they did not use plastic
andddddd we eat out of plastic bowls & cups every day. You’re not eating several pounds of salt a week, you’re much more likely to get microplastics from other sources.
Sounds like a very profitable business
Back breaking work...for little pay....I feel for these people. May their lives get better.
Fooot saaaalt 🤤
Natural salt is much better utilized by the body and, has more system supporting minerals and micro-mi erals our bodies need for good health. Celtic Sea Salt is msde in a similar ptocess in Ireland and France has theirs done close to this too. Good stuff!!
This is happening in my state ❤❤❤
Number 15. Burger King foot salt
Heisenberg would be proud
It's got that nice foot twang to it too
Similar to how they make it in Indonesia
Feet salt, fantastic.
"Salt" I gotcha 😉
Foot salt smelling like Sulphur 😂
Super cool. Way prefer this old tradition than some mineral-devoid thing made in a lab. Ps. Wine can still be made with feet too...stomping stuff is traditional lol
Yeah prefer feet in your salt 💀
Salt is salt.
What you buy is completely natural.
Traditional production of a chemical compound like salt, does not provide any measurable benefits compared to the same compound produced in a factory. The primary difference is crystalization and texture.
Imagine being so uneducated that you think there's a significant difference between the two
@@FieryRedDonkeyOfHell personal preference doesn't necessarily come from a lack of education. They could simply prefer the product for emotional, cultural, religious, or any number of other reasons. The same is true of most human preferences.
Yum. Feet salt.
Jeez, imagine having a cut on your foot
*Flash sterilization* lol that would be so painful
That extra feet flavour really makes all the difference 😮 nom nom nom
Yep because people simp for feet
That's how we make salt in the Philippines too but we also have another way of making salt that's a bit more laborious than this
How do they clean it at the end?
Nothing like foot salt for extra flavor.
It’s sold under the brand name Stinky Feet Salt
Sooo many comments about foot salt. Sooo many people in denial or just ignorant of the way many spices end up on grocery shelves. We’ve been eating each other’s skin sluff all our lives…..
*YUMMMM THOUGH. NOTHING TASTES BETTER THAN SALT MADE FROM BRACKISH BROWN WATER WITH SOME TOE FUNGUS MIXED IN!*
"I taste a strong hint of cheese in this batch"
I make salt at home, and I always make sure to dig out my belly button lint to add to it, along with a few scoops of dirt from the yard.
It makes it artisanal.
Lmao
I know so much about babies
I love how they say clean pool even though they're walking around barefoot😅
Name was Salty Foots
Into the 'clean pool' ok 🤣
Why would salt be measured in liters? Why not kilograms or pounds?
The feet part made my puke
I bet it called " Fresh salts with natural feet taste "🤣
Thanks for sharing
I love foot chunks in my salt
The Dirty Feet Are What Gives It A special Flavor!
I once found a toenail....explains everything
🙄😔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😭😭😭 I can't look at the salt same anymore 😭😭
Did Business Insider pay these folks for documenting their work? Hmm
Feet with the texture of a breeze block
What part if Mexico.? Where is this?
"they clean the pool" *stomps around with their nasty sweaty feet* "it's artisanal"
Feet salt. Yum.
8 th time I saw the rarest salt
Just use a water pump. What's the point of moving the water back and fourth holding to some ancient practice if you're still gonna use a bucket you got from Mendards? Save the time and the labour by investing in a small pump.
Wow super hygiene
Foot salt 😊
Feet salt finest!
This makes me wonder, where did other native Americans of US get salt from?
Avo kabhi gujrat me😊
Feet salt yum....
Is it kosher?
I prefer sea salt
I personally wouldn't want to eat it with all that foot action happening. Unless it's sterilized afterwards, which I doubt.
And it would be amazing on some chips 🍟
If nobody is stomping my salt i dont want it
feet salt
Huh, foot salt.
Seems very similiar to some salt farms ( idk how to call it in english) in Taiwan
Bet he has the smoovest feet
The feet add that extra zing to the greasy meat and stale rice
I heard their feet get messed up really quickly
So it tastes like dirty nasty feet and that's why it's so cheap?? I would never buy or used that salt ever
