Organic Salt "Tultul"

I felt nostalgic when I read this article about "tultul", an edible salt-rock painstakingly made out of discards on the shore such as coconut husks, twigs, broken coral—anything except things made of plastic.

For me, it was synonymous with poverty because it was the usual pair for rice every time we run out of delectable viand. But it was fun rolling it on rice plate and nibbling where it's thicker until you taste the powdery salt. Here's another feature about one of Iloilo's original but vanishing trade.
