WHAT ARE SOAP NUTS ?

Botanical Name: Sapindus Mukorossi
Common Names: Soap nut, Soap Nut, Soapberry, Soap Berry, Washberry & Wash Nut.
Common Names (In Nepal & India): Ritha & Reetha

Genus Information: Sapindus is a genus of about twelve species of shrubs and small trees in the Sapindaceae (soapberry family), native to warm temperate to tropical regions in both the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. The genus includes both deciduous and evergreen species.

The leaves are alternate, 15-40 cm long, pinnate, with 14-30 leaflets, the terminal leaflet often absent. The flowers form in large panicles, each flower small, creamy white. The fruit called a soap nut, is a small leathery-skinned drupe 1-2 cm in diameter, yellow ripening blackish, containing one to three seeds. Soap nuts contain saponin, a natural detergent that is used to clean clothes. Soap nuts, especially Sapindus mukorossi, have become popular as an environmentally friendly alternative to manufactured, chemical detergents.
