For centuries, salt was worth its weight in gold in West Africa. All people require mineral salt in their diets to stay healthy, and salt has always been valued for flavoring and preserving food. Salt occurs naturally in some environments and foods. However, this was not the case in the savannah and forests of West Africa. In coastal regions, people could use salt from the ocean, but sea salt didn’t travel well. So, inland people needed a reliable source of the mineral.
West Africans in search of salt turned north. The desolate Sahara held a deep and seemingly endless supply of salt beneath the desert sand. By about 700 CE, Berber traders from North Africa were crossing the Sahara to bring many commodities, including salt, south to the cities of West Africa.
