After low tide
this woman collects salt off the soil in the salt flats. |
 |
The salty soil
is then mixed with water and poured into these filters. |
 |
The water first
goes through a sieve and then flows across Sago Palm leaves. |
 |
The remaining
soil collects into the folds of the palm leaves and the concentrated salt
water drips into a hollowed out log. |
 |
The salty water
is then cooked to evaporate the water from the solution. |
 |
Finally, the
remaining salt paste is drained in handmade baskets, leaving salt crystals
to be sold on the side of the road. |
