knowledge:
Extraction: Formed by the drying out of the Indian Ocean millions of years ago, it is now stored at depths of up to 750 m and is extracted by mining. Numerous minerals characterize this salt. An increased iron content is responsible for the pink coloration.

Home & Distribution:
The history of salt begins in the Neolithic Age. Man went in search of salt.

cultivation & extraction:
Salt is found in salty soils, in the sea and in salt domes. After the Neolithic Age, salt was already mined from salt pieces and skimmed from the sea, as it is done today.

History:
The first indirect encounter with salt was when people still lived on the flesh of wild animals. The mineral salts, which the human organism needs to survive, were contained in the meat of slaughtered animals. It was only when humans discovered their interest in cereals as food that they needed salt, as field crops do not contain enough mineral salts.
