Turning Seawater Into Salt For Food Preservation

Making Salt has been an important tradition in cultures throughout the world for 1000ʻs of years. Being worth your weight in salt is an expression from Roman days when soldiers were paid in measures of salt.
In Hawaii, people have been making salt from the sea for generations. Through evaporation ponds like ones found on Kauai or in shallow rock pools, salt has been made.
We can speed up that process by boiling down the water on a cookstove.
Today we make salt.

Good video per usual 👌. Might have to give it a shot.

[@GreenHorn1Acre]

Salty way of doing it 🤙🏼😁👍🏼

[@armstv6104]

Omg it's easy thanks for the useful tip

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Have fun making salt!

[@Hawaiishelldiver]

I hike for miles to gather my salt. As a former cesspool digger here I can tell you there's lots of illegal cesspools here. Recently there's been some concerns about micro plastic in sea salt, but I haven't been able to check yet.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Definitely a concern. Iʻm thinking that the coast between Kawaihae and Hawi is pretty isolated and therefore has relatively clean water. But how can one remove themselves fully from all pollutants, unfortunately we have created a world where itʻs everywhere!

[@jbontregor6717]

Thanks. Very interesting.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Mahalo, it was a fun video to make

[@melissamurphy3776]

Super interesting.... Mahalo

[@marinakukso]

thanks for the nice video! have you ever used kukui nuts for light? if so, would be a great video topic!

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

I haven't but I've always been curious. Might have to try it out

[@homegardenvlog6869]

thanks for sharing

[@arrhazes8198]

I really enjoyed your videos. Can you make a video on your chickens? You said you didn't feed them, they feed you? Thanks!

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Sure thing. Planning out a concept for it now.

[@Buciasda33]

At least it's iodine free salt. That's an impressive amount of salt, no wonder your kidneys fail if you sea water.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

It's a pretty good amount of salt from just a little seawater, that's for sure

[@SuchandSuchMaui]

Soon to be taken down by utoob and censored by FDA. Great video👊👊🤙

[@KikiLikesChips]

🤣🤣🤣

[@ronemtae3468]

Used to fish in Europe many many years ago and we would go out to the small island just off the coast of Ireland no one lived on it but you could camp and we would catch salmon and Seabass and all kinds of things the only thing we brought with us with the ability to make a fire cause if you know that part of the world it rains every day Wood is always wet so we bring some firewood so we can get started and we would take about 50 gallons of seawater and we will pour it into these aluminum trays that were about in Chi 2 feet long and 2 feet wide and then we would put plastic just over it but not touching it it was always quite a bit of wind and we would camp on the silence for about six weeks greatest experience I’ve ever had couple of close calls with some very large seals Some barracuda. And flying raptors. After fishing we will come back with about 100 pounds of fresh fish somebody would come out every week and pick up what we caught.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Thanks for sharing, sounds like a dream.

[@babypamcottage935]

Wow video

[@bohopkins6916]

can you eat the sea salt? I always enjoy your videos....

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

It goes in all my meals

[@bohopkins6916]

@@HomesteadinHawaii does it taste better than regular salt? I can't wait to try that out.

[@adamr4115]

👍

[@garygerard4290]

dear mister Homesteadin', do you realize if this type of info get out to the general public my hard built family business will go broke? Please remove this post before we have to sue you. Mr. Morton pres. Morton Salt Co.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Ha! If only people would be proactive enough to produce for themselves and take down a corporation like Mortonʻs salt.

What about polluted water? Full of filth

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

And that is why I went to one of the most remote spots on one of the most remote islands on the planet. But even still, pollution is everywhere.
