PT:
Soapnuts are the dried fruits of the soapnut tree somewhat like
"dates" with the flesh being much thinner.Once you boil the "flesh" all
juice is extracted and the residue can be discarded.Like any other
boiled vegetable, it will rot if kept around (moist). You can actually
put them in a blendor (without the seeds) and pulverise the soapnuts .
Soak the poweder in water for a few minutes and use the juice. You have
to experiment as to how much powder to water, depending on your needs.
!0 to 15 minutes of soaking in water will get all the active ingredients
into solution. This solution is used as shampoo or bath soap etc. Dont
get it in your eyes, it will feel like a milder version of pepper spray
:-) and tastes bitter .. but otherwise totally harmless

Good question, Lena. I was wondering that myself. Also, can this be
used to brush your teeth with instead of bar soap? Or would it be too
irritating to the mucus membranes?

I just made a pdf of this recipe! One question: does this use up the
soap nuts in the bag, or can they go on to be used again afterward?
Be well,
