Last week I was in Zapotitlan Salinas in Puebla with our Xoxoc partners. We stopped to see the salt flats again and as you can see, it’s really a strange, beautiful and wonderful place.

Land salt has been harvested here since long before the conquest. The salt cooks beans faster than normal and it’s great with vegetables as it keeps them green. A little is great. Too much and you have pudding.
