Before fancy Himalayan pink salt became a thing, this was the OG source. An 'asnan' is basically a salt farm. Imagine shallow pools of seawater just chilling under the sun, waiting to evaporate and leave behind the good stuff. It's the place that makes our chicharon and mangga with bagoong possible. Respect the asnan.
Nagmula sa salitang-ugat na "asin" na may hulaping "-an" na tumutukoy sa lugar.
