Dari Laut ke Kotak: Bagaimana Garam Laut Dipanen

Garam laut yang baru dipanen!

Baru saja harvested sea salt!

berlian Crystal operates salt ponds all along the San Francisco Bay shoreline. They look similar to rice paddies. (You can just make them out in the distance here.)

Eric, a US Fish and Wildlife Service employee, explains the delicate balance of the shoreline ecology and how the salt ponds play their part.

Berjalan out onto a salt pond being harvested.

Ini machine drives ahead of the harvester, cutting the salt crust into chunks.

Di the left is salt waiting to be harvested; on the right, you can see where the crust has been cut away. Only the top four inches of salt are harvest. The rest is left to create a stable salt bed.

Mati in the distance is the harvester with dump trucks in line to be filled.

Ini is one of the hand-operated gates between ponds. When it's opened, gravity and the force of the tides will push the salt water from the adjacent pond into this one.

Drew, the Manager of Operations for Cargill's Diamond Crystal Sea Salt facility, explains the harvesting process.

SEBUAH full dump truck drops its load of harvested salt. From here the salt is washed in brine water and actual Bay water to rinse away any last impurities.

Dicuci salt being transferred to the storage mounds.

Semua the roads are made from salt. This cuts down the amount of dirt and other contaminates that would get transferred to the salt ponds by the trucks.

SEBUAH salt mound being created from this season's harvest. The salt will stay here in the open until it is needed. A crust forms over the top, protecting the salt underneath.

Kapan the salt is needed, another truck pushes it onto a conveyor belt. It is taken inside for final processing, kilning, and packaging.

Itu red color you see in some of the ponds when you fly over the Bay? That's algae and tiny brine shrimp, which thrive in the higher salinity of the ponds.

Jika Anda pernah terbang ke atau keluar dari bandara San Francisco, Anda mungkin melihat ke luar jendela dan bertanya-tanya tentang kolam merah aneh yang tersebar di sepanjang tepi Teluk. Tidak heran lagi: mereka adalah kolam panen garam laut!

Saya baru-baru ini diundang bersama hasil panen garam laut tahunan Diamond Crystal Salt di sini, di Teluk San Francisco. Biarkan saya memberitahu Anda, itu adalah perjalanan yang menarik dari Bay ke kotak. Oh, dan mengapa warna merah yang mengejutkan di kolam itu? Kamu tidak akan pernah menebak.
