Amed is one of salt making centre in Bali. Good salt is made from here, I mean the salt is made with natural process not with a chemical process. So, salt that was produce here rich of contains minerals and vitamins. The process too long, from taking water in the sea until becoming salt is about 2 to 3 days in it's processing. The process also different than the other places like Kusamba in Klungkung Regency or Guris in Buleleng Regency, even in Madura island in east Java. The process is very unique. But, now some salt field converted into a hotels and other buildings, just some still remaining. It there isn't guarantee to protect this salt field. I Think this salt fields are tourism attraction where traditional salt is made.
