Bhushan Reddy This picture illustrates persons at the Union Island Salt Pond reaping salt. Salt production in Union Island dates back to years ago when salt was produced and sold commercially. Whenever salt is produced it does a host of excitement when residents descend into the wetland area to “pick” salt. Many persons on island have been picking salt for over 40 years, and it is a skill that has been passing on to children and grandchildren. As we watch carefully in this photo we can see local as well as visitors separating the flakes of crystal white salt from the water, this pure salt is said to be best for persons with high blood pressure, it is also used in facial massages and a lot of other uses.
