It’s time to crack into my stash of Amed salt from our recent trip up the coast 🌊✨
Did you know Bali still has small communities that harvest salt the traditional way?
In Amed, salt farmers use coconut tree trunks to slowly evaporate seawater under the sun – a method passed down for generations.
Supporting this ancient craft helps keep the tradition alive, and it’s one of those special souvenirs that truly represents Bali. Prices in the shops range from around $3 AUD for simple packets to $7–8 AUD for larger portions. You can even buy it in beautiful glass jars – perfect for the cook in the family or as a thoughtful gift to bring home.
Have you ever brought Amed salt back from Bali?
Would you try it in your kitchen?

Tucked away on Bali’s tranquil northeastern coast, Amed offers more than just stunning snorkel spots and laid-back village vibes — it’s also home to a time-honored treasure: Amed sea salt. 🌊✨
Harvested by local families using techniques passed down through generations, Amed salt is made from the sparkling Bali Sea. Salt farmers carefully pour seawater into hollowed-out coconut tree trunks, allowing the tropical sun to naturally evaporate the water and leave beautifully coarse, mineral-rich crystals behind. It’s a fascinating process to witness — and even more special to take home.
For families visiting Bali, Amed salt makes a meaningful (and lightweight!) souvenir. It’s not only affordable — think $3 AUD for simple packets and up to $7–8 AUD for artisan glass jars — but each purchase directly supports local livelihoods and helps preserve this centuries-old craft. Whether you're shopping at a small roadside stall or exploring a local market, you're likely to find options that suit every suitcase and budget.
Bringing Amed salt back home is a great way to keep a bit of Bali in your kitchen. Use it to finish grilled veggies, sprinkle over rice dishes, or even give your next chocolate chip cookies a savory twist. Kids will love learning about its origins too — it’s a souvenir with a story.
Next time you’re on a family adventure through Bali, consider visiting Amed and picking up some of this coastal gold. It’s thoughtful, tasty, and a beautiful way to support local Bali culture.
