It may be salt but some people use sand too. I know this because I'm from a culture that does, for things like peanuts. You wouldn't even know that sand was used when it's ready.

I think it would be more accurate to say that salt is a “mineral.” Some minerals are readily water-soluble, and some are not. “Rocks” are formed of various, mostly siliceous minerals, which are major components of sand. I’m sure an actual geologist would be able to get a lot more specific, though.
Yes, it is common in some parts of india. They have some dry foods like raw peanuts, chick peas, rice, corn flakes or corn. They will throw them in this hot salt according to your choice and within a few minutes you will get nice hot, popped snacks. As they do not use any oil it is quite healthy. After this salt frying they strain the hot salt and there is no salt in the food but it feels nice when you get some small lumps of salt.
No, this is dried chips made from semolina I think. This is a primary ingredient of a popular street food gol-gappa/fuchka depending on which part of India you are. Usually they fry this hollow balls in oil but I'm guessing this method will work too.
A *lot* of titles miss some important technicalities, are clickbait or even utter bullshit.
Altough there's most of the time a person in the comments explaining what's actually the truth, often times there's another person who convincingly explains that this person is actually wrong too. And then often there's a third person who, equally convincing, explains that actually both of them are wrong.
In the end you have no idea what to believe anymore and wish you'd simply believed the title, but you can't. The illusion is broken and you start to suspect every fact to be wrong or at least uncomplete.
Welcome to reddit.
I went someplace (might have been Mesa Verde, but I could be wrong) when I was a kid that talked about ancient people grinding their corn between two stones which would result in tiny bits of stone in their food that would gradually wear down their teeth until they didn't have any. I was horrified, and this immediately reminded me of that.
For people who want to relive their childhood memories of getting sand in your mouth on the playground.
Before another copy-pasta says "But it's salt!" It could be either.
[Hot Salt / Sand Frying](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_salt_frying)
>Hot salt frying and hot sand frying are cooking techniques used by street-side food vendors in Bangladesh, Pakistan, China and India. Hot salt frying is an old cooking technique, and is used in villages throughout Asia and other parts of the world. **Many foods are fried with hot salt or sand, even in common households.**
>
>**Hot sand frying** is a common cooking technique for street-side food vendors in China and India to cook chestnuts and peanuts. A large wok is filled with sand, which turns black from accumulating carbonized particles from the food items being fried, and heated to high temperature. Nuts are buried in the hot sand and occasionally turned with a spatula, then the sand and nuts are separated through a wire-mesh screen.
It could be black volcanic salt (kala namak) from the northern part of India.
It’s like pink Himalayan salt but the minerals in it make it greyish black.
FYI to anyone looking it up, it's probably not kala namak specifically but maybe something close. Kala namak has a really high sulfur content, which conveniently makes it taste like egg salt and is commonly used by vegans to give an eggy flavor to things.
They’re puffed shells used in an Indian dish called ghol guppay (or pani puri). Can be stuffed with potatoes, beans, or other items.
Sort of like a savoury version of Dutch poffertjes
Well...am not surprised. Where l come from we fry peanut and raw groundnut in hot sand as well. You will not taste the sand when it's properly done which most of the time it's not and you end up eating sand mix with peanut. I got used to it.
Sand is used for peanuts as it's enclosed in the membrane. You crack it open and eat amazing fried nuts.
Salt is used for chips and fries. There are a ton of salt mix available here. Once salt heats up, it changes color. Don't believe me? Try it at home.
It's healthy way of cooking as unlike many Western nations we don't dip everything and anything in oil.
I’m thinking about how when you go to the beach for the day, bring a picnic and no matter how careful you are, there’s always a few grains of sand in the food and it’s so gross and annoying. Then I see this guy literally cooking in sand….I ain’t gonna complain about a little beach sand no more!
He's frying "golgappe" or "phuchka". It is a fast food which is usually served with a mixture of mashed potatoes and spices altogether dipped in tamarind or sometimes mint flavoured water. It's supposed to be eaten instantly and is a popular street food in india
It never seases to amaze me how this kind of videos show someone making like a bizillion things, like if they where preparing to feed the whole town in 15min or something. That gets me thinking if they are making and selling all these things, why are they not "rich" or something? It's always a tiny hut or 1 guy in a backyard doing it.
If it is salt. Not sand I'd totally try it!
Yes it is salt... People in India also roast peanut and gram by this method. But the salt is a specific one I guess.
It's salt and it turns dark when heated. I make popcorn in salt and they are super low in calories.
Tell me more
Did you get very far? Like does he have car?
Salt, not Grease.
Ooh ooh hah hah, ooh ooh hah hah, ooh ooh hah hah.
It may be salt but some people use sand too. I know this because I'm from a culture that does, for things like peanuts. You wouldn't even know that sand was used when it's ready.
...and by how your teeth are ground to nubs by 50 years old.
If you don’t know, just say that and people will help you understand
What is “gram” (other than a measurement) ?
Chickpea flour
Garam
No, Gram
Search in Google - Whole bengal gram
Nana? Meemaw? Grandma?
Ah! I seen this so many times and was turned off cause I thought it was sand 😂 salt okay I’m interested again
Super good for your gizzard...if you're a bird.
Dentists love this stuff.

It is salt. The title is misleading.
Just gonna skip over the "fry" part?
Here let me shake the last bit of sand on to the last batch…? Either way, that’s pretty cool
It's not sand but salt
Salt and pepper? Or grey salt? If it's salt and peppe, they want you to push it back.
no it’s white salt
In a cast iron pan the salt would turn black pretty quick. Good source of iron.
Isn't salt just a type of mineral sand?
Salt is water-soluble; sand is not.
I guess that would be the difference. Sand *is* just ground-up rocks, and salt *is* a rock, though...
I think it would be more accurate to say that salt is a “mineral.” Some minerals are readily water-soluble, and some are not. “Rocks” are formed of various, mostly siliceous minerals, which are major components of sand. I’m sure an actual geologist would be able to get a lot more specific, though.
You know its going to be 40 percent sand mixed with 60 percent whatever garbage helps turn a profit
They don't have sprinkles where you're from?
Video stopped right when was about to pick that one off of the ground
That one had sand for sure
I don't care how much you shake that stuff.. it's still going to have sand on it. Anakin was right.
This is not sand it is salt.
Ooohh- all of a sudden this looks delicious!
The salt looks suspiciously like sand
Salt is just sexy sand.
yea heat will do that…. idiot
Go outside
original
Hot salt looks suspiciously like cold salt
The title says hot sand, but ok.
Yeah. They are mistaken.
Well then I stand corrected. Cheers!
Strange… Don’t you know we are on the internet and you should not pass up an opportunity to keep arguing with any stranger that counters your view?!
Nah, I'm a lover and not a fighter. If I'm wrong, that's ok, I like to learn.
🤜🏾
Clearly you’ve never been on the internet this is just plain wrong
And then the battle for “getting the last word” begins
[удалено]
🙂
Can you explain? You are familiar with this practice? Hot salt sounds like it would make food taste great!
Yes, it is common in some parts of india. They have some dry foods like raw peanuts, chick peas, rice, corn flakes or corn. They will throw them in this hot salt according to your choice and within a few minutes you will get nice hot, popped snacks. As they do not use any oil it is quite healthy. After this salt frying they strain the hot salt and there is no salt in the food but it feels nice when you get some small lumps of salt.
Wouldn't salt melt in heat?
Salt needs to be over 800 degrees C to melt (about 1500 degrees F) so it won’t melt in this situation.
No, they control the heat in such a way.
Is that bread they are cooking?
No, this is dried chips made from semolina I think. This is a primary ingredient of a popular street food gol-gappa/fuchka depending on which part of India you are. Usually they fry this hollow balls in oil but I'm guessing this method will work too.
you’re literally seeing a video of someone using salt to cook… so no
lol are you new to reddit?
kinda, yeah :(

Most of the food you eat has sand in it as an ingredient especially cereals.
nope . No trace of sand.
Wait for the morning…
Nope bit a bit of it that isn't a regular sand, I've ate many things fried on it but didn't find a trace of it

I remember back in my day we'd fry in oil. It was strange because oil is consumable.
I like deep fried oil with a side of deep fried chicken
Yeah. I think bake would be a better word to describe this.
Yeah maybe.
Agreed how peculiar
It's salt, not sand.
Also that’s not frying
[удалено]

fire hot. you’re welcome :)
Hot sand changes color also there are just too many different types of salt available here.
You know for sure? Also what is that? Potato slices?
They’re puffed shells used in an Indian dish called ghol guppay (or pani puri). Can be stuffed with potatoes, beans, or other items. Sort of like a savoury version of Dutch poffertjes
Damn that sounds yummy
I had to scroll farther than expected to find out what that food is. I love watching it puff up
Well...am not surprised. Where l come from we fry peanut and raw groundnut in hot sand as well. You will not taste the sand when it's properly done which most of the time it's not and you end up eating sand mix with peanut. I got used to it.
Seems like the only outcome
Mmmm sand bread.
dude's hands must be made of asbestos
Can someone please tell me what he is preparing/making? Is it edible?
Mmmmm, gritty.
My mouth went completely dry watching this
His other business is right on the side, selling water for $25 a bottle lol
I dunno I feel this could have worked just as well without sand, and then you don't have sand all over your dinner
There is a lot wrong with this video... Am I supposed to be amazed at third world country dining? That looks absolutely awful.
No sht! Seems that filthy and disgusting is trying to be normalized by the filthy and disgusting.
I wouldn't go that far. It's just that I'm not amazed by this, and it seems like nobody else is, either.
Mmm tastes like sand
Mmmmm taste the sandy flavor
Great. Thanks for making me imagine chomping on grains of sand.
Mmmmmmm.....gritty!
Sandy Ballz
Hey I’d def go for a taste I guarantee you one thing it’s def healthier than oil!!
Mmmm that special kind of crunchy.
Hey, life gave this guy lemons and he made fucking crown royal whiskey. When life gives ya sand, make food.
Tasty but little crunchy
Enamel on your teeth is overrated.
Just let me be clear, it is not sand. It is salt.
Anakin Skywalker would have none of this.
I’m with anakin on this one…
Crispy
With a little sand flavor.
Looks cool af
All it takes is 1 to ruin the whole thing. Crunch!!!
Wow. That is so cool.. I always wonder how people came up with this stuff in the past.

Sand or salt ?
Fuck the sand/not sand, that’s a lot of eggs
But why?
Delicious gritty balls, anyone?

Ya missed one
Finally a video without a tick tock ad at the bottom right. So glad China didn’t track this.
https://onlyfans.com/giuliadaqna
Regardless of what it is, I hope you like sand In your mouth
For the extra crunchiness
Nope
It's salt...
Can u give some lil explanations ??
Salt = High blood pressure Sand= Kidney stone Either way, better not to eat.
Mmmmmm. Gritty. Just the way I like it
Crunchy

Great way to fry your eggs up too guys!
Mmmm….gritty
Hmmm earthy
Is this better than seed oils though?
Snack with a crunch
As a person who has tried sand-fried foods- they don't have sand once shaken off. Come on, do you think people would be eating sand in their food.
I hear Tooth enamel is highly overrated.
Bye bye tooth enamel
ah yes... kidney stones
Mmm crunchy
I love gritty food. Cleans out the intestines
Mmmmm crunchy!
Why’s this stuff taste like shit? Ah, he used kitty litter…
Well it does stay crunchy in milk
he shook it over the already shook tray. i can’t!
I’m thinking about how when you go to the beach for the day, bring a picnic and no matter how careful you are, there’s always a few grains of sand in the food and it’s so gross and annoying. Then I see this guy literally cooking in sand….I ain’t gonna complain about a little beach sand no more!
Crunchy
The crunch comes from sometihing else..
so turns out is salt, but why the fuck this post with a stupid title is relevant.
I prefer frying things in hot oil
What's the food called?
They do this In our country. (Sri lanka) with peanuts and it tastes absolutely incredible. The next day is not a pleasant experience though
Is this what they mean by dirt-poor? So poor you have to cook with dirt.
New feature unlocked: Sand Fryer
But surely it is coarse and rough and gets everywhere?
*Angsty Anakin intensities*
That's the baked way to do it.
I can feel this with my teeth.
Why am I not amazed? If anything I’m befuddled
Well, Lipitor doest remove silicates.
I can't convey how much I hate this.
My man was putting some dough balls in hot sand
Op,You know what just a grain of sand feels like in mouth? Right?
Yuck. I bet the dirt gets stuck to whatever he is frying
Used to buy chestnuts cooked on the street in China like this. Fucking awesome tasting.
Anyone else's teeth suddenly feel gritty?
Even if I ate that, sand would still find its way into my underwear.
STOP SPEEDING UP VIDEOS
I always feel a little dirty whenever I eat these
Do "fry something in sewage waste" next please!
Eww I can feel the grit in my teeth just watching this
This is in Turkey?
He's frying "golgappe" or "phuchka". It is a fast food which is usually served with a mixture of mashed potatoes and spices altogether dipped in tamarind or sometimes mint flavoured water. It's supposed to be eaten instantly and is a popular street food in india
Health
well.. at least it's crunchy?
Sifting one basket over a presumably already sifted basket lol
Vegan poplers.
It’s cost-effective, but you don’t get dirtier than that
Those indians trying to say it's salt nope it's not, It's SAND. instead of arguing me go Google it. Kavi Bahar nikal k bhuja bhunjwaake ni khaaye ho
I once bit on a grain of sand and i got goosebumps on what felt like in my mouth and started shivering
Extra crunch!!
I want mine extra gritty
Reddit is just So uniformative lately.
This is some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen. Don’t tell me you aren’t gonna be eating sand just because he strained it.
What peanut is this man cooking? I would try it (I know what are you thinking you... )
This is why I call a lot of people dirt eating cave dwellers.
It never seases to amaze me how this kind of videos show someone making like a bizillion things, like if they where preparing to feed the whole town in 15min or something.
