Soapnuts are
not really nuts, but the fruits of the soapnut tree which grows
wild in India. The fruit is nestled in a firm outer
shell. When the soapnut fruit ripens, it falls off the
tree. It is the harvested and naturally sun dried without
being subject to any chemical process, harmful chemicals or
artificial ingredients.
The soapnut
shell contains a natural substance called saponin. When the
shell absorbs water, it releases these saponins, which circulate as
natural surfactants in water, reducing the surface tension of water
and freeing dirt, oil and grime from laundry and other household
items.
