Description
Organic Soap Berry Nuts
Soap berry nuts, commonly called soap nuts or soapberries, are dried fruit shells from trees in the Sapindus genus. When agitated in water, the shells release naturally occurring saponins that create a mild washing action. This 200 g organic product is packaged by YumNaturals Emporium in a paper bag.
How to use soap berries for laundry
Place approximately four or five soap berries in a small reusable cloth bag and add the bag directly to the washing machine with your laundry. The same berries can generally be reused for several loads while they continue to release their natural soap-like compounds.
Remove the pouch after washing and allow it to dry between uses.
Making a simple soap-berry liquid
Soap berries can also be simmered in water to prepare a simple liquid washing solution. Because a homemade water-based preparation does not contain conventional preservatives, prepare modest quantities, keep the finished liquid refrigerated and discard it if its appearance or odour changes.
