Salt is a physiologically essential product for humans and domestic animals. Empires have risen and fallen because of salt. It has been used as a medium of exchange and payment. Trade routes and paths have been established for the exchange and trade of salt, stretching from deserts to tropical forests. Salt can be obtained from a variety of sources and methods. Throughout history, human populations have developed different strategies to obtain salt from distant locations or to produce it from alternative sources, such as through the use of plants. This chapter will focus on three examples of salt acquisition. First is the story of the Kalunga, a traditional group living in a savanna area in central Brazil, whose ancestors are former escaped slaves who were self-sufficient in almost everything except salt. As a result, they undertook arduous and risky journeys to obtain salt from distant villages and cities. The second example is that of the Waurá, an indigenous group on the southeastern border of Amazon, who learned to produce salt from the aguapé plant (Eichhornia sp.) and continue to produce, exchange, or trade it among themselves and with other ethnic groups. The third example concerns the Kayabi people, another indigenous group from the Amazon, who traditionally used the inajá palm (Attalea maripa) to produce salt. This practice had fallen into disuse among the Kayabi, but through the knowledge of a guardian woman from the village and outside encouragement, they revived the process, serving as an example of cultural recovery and empowerment.
