Kalahari desert salt
The origin of the Kalahari desert salt
The Kalahari Desert is one of the driest regions on Earth, but there is a hidden treasure buried in the ground. This is where the Kalahari desert salt comes from, which boasts of an immaculate white colour. At the site of the Kalahari Desert Salt, that belongs to Botswana, about 280 million years ago there was a large salt lake, about the size of Switzerland, known to the locals as Makgadikgadi. The lake dried up tens of thousands of years ago, leaving behind salt marshes as well as a desert. The Kalahari desert salt, which can be extracted from here, is harvested by hand and then dried in the sun.
