巴厘岛的传统盐农

我在去年10月到巴厘岛去。之前已到过巴厘岛几次了，所以巴厘岛对我来说所以每有什么特别。难得的是这次拜访了一个盐农，目睹了他们以最传统的方式制造海盐。

The traditional salt making by drying up brine under the sun in a “small-boat” made of coconut stem is reviving at this moment. The brine is derived from pouring sea water on the bed of sand and let it dried under the sun. The farmer has to walk about 40 to 50 times for this process. It's very inefficient and a lot of hard work for the farmer. In the afternoon the dried salt in the sand is collected and dissolved in sea water and filtered down with strainer made of coconut fibers, pebbles and sands to get clear brine. After letting the dirt precipitated, the next morning the clear brine is sun dried by putting it in a “small boat” made of coconut stem. After it dried, the upper layer salt become the best quality of salt as it is white and clean without dirt.

There are about 35 farmers in this area with daily production between 10-15 kg per day per farmer and his family
