Why the soap nut not same

Even the soap nuts are collected from one tree,you may find the out shell color, and even size are greatly different. Some is light, and some very dark.Why are there so big difference? After studying longtime, we found that the soap nut size, color depends on harvest time. If the soap nut fruit is dropped at its season, the color is light, and some transparent; while if the soap nut fruit keeps on the tree one or two months later, the fruit gets more wrinkles on the outside, smaller and dark in the color.This is because the fruit is mature but since it is not dropped, the water inside the fruit gets less and less, and under the sunshine effect, the color will be more and more dark.And to some extent, the soap nut in the south is a little bigger and lighter than that in the west. But it is hard to simply judge that the southern soap nut is of better quality than the western ones. And it is also not scientific to say the light color and bigger one is better than the dark one or smaller one. The only quality judge criteria is that how much soapin the shell contains. Normally you can see whether the fruit is thick or thin, thicker skin fruit is better than thinner skin one;heavier fruit is better than lighter one. In fact, all soap nuts from China are of very good quality.And the treatment method will also influence the size and color. If peasants put soap nuts under sunshine for several days, the soap nuts will get very dry, thus the color turns to dark and the size smaller; if just place the soap nuts in dry place without direct contact of sunshine, the soap nut will be with light color and size bigger. All information above shows us that it is hard to judge the quality from the color and size. The only criteria is check the thickness of the fruit, to see whether the inside part is bright, thick and smooth,if yes, the quality is good,vice versa, the quality is not good enough! Alternatively, simply put the shell into the washing machine, to check the laundry effect!That's easy and really work!

Some are simply better than others. So, how do you know exactly what you are buying? That is a tough one. Knowing soap nut quality with 100% certainty is almost impossible.

Any harvested fruit is subject to all such variables.

In order to ensure optimal soap nut quality and proper grading,we sort them carefully by hand. Soap nuts that do not meet our criteria for this grade still contain the effective saponins. They are still of great value, therefore they are simply utilized in our various powder and liquid formulations.

As a hair and body wash, add 1 teaspoon of Soap nut extract to a cup of water. Use this as a hair wash or mild cleanser. Soap nut can also be combined with Amla, Neem & Shikakai extract for a more nutritive hair wash. Mix all of the herbs in water and let sit till thoroughly dissolved. The wash should be kept refrigerated and used within 4 days or preserved with an anti bacterial preservative. There is no rocket science here. If you can grind coffee beans or boil water, you can start making great soap nut powder and liquids for a myriad of uses. Not only are powdered and liquid forms great for laundry, but also the list of other chemical products that can be replaced is long and getting longer every day. Please email us if you would like powder or liquid forms of soap nuts. We can provide either in household or commercial quantities. However, the basic processes are so simple that instructions are provided below. Be sure to look for specially targeted proprietary formulas for many personal care and household uses to be available online soon. Powder: Simply grind soap nuts shells to a very fine powder in a coffee grinder. A similar appliance will work, such as a blender, however a coffee grinder tends to produce the finest powder. This may require grinding the soap nut shells a couple of times. Remove any un-ground pieces or sift through a sifter. Place in airtight container. Shelf life is indefinite as long as the soap nut powder is stored in a cool dry place. Liquid: Place 12 to 15 soapnuts (about 1.5 ounces) in about 6 cups of water. For best results, bring to a boil and simmer for approximately an hour. You will know that you have fully extracted from the soap nuts when they turn very light tan or gray and are mushy. Allow to cool and strain. Store the soap nuts liquid in an airtight glass jar. As with other botanicals, the infused soap nut solution is best stored in a cool place away from direct sunlight. This 100% pure soap nut solution has absolutely no preservative of any kind; hence it has a limited shelf life of several days. It should be refrigerated to extend its shelf life. This is typical of virtually all water-based botanical solutions. We are infusing our proprietary liquid formulas with specific natural preservatives that will greatly extend shelf life, yet still be safe and chemical free. For the make-at-home solution, simply don't make more than you'll use in a few days. TIPS: Soap nuts will last longer using warm vs. hot water. Soft water may require less soap nuts. Very hard water will require a bag of 5 shells. There is no need for fabric softener. Soap nuts leave your cloths soft. Soap nuts have a distinct odor, similar to vinegar when they are dry and more pungent when wet. Soap nuts do not smell pleasant: but amazingly your clothes smell clean and fresh after washing with soap nuts. If you like scent, you can add 10 drops of essential oil on the cotton bag before tossing it into the machine. Soap nuts will not remove heavy stains, as with any detergent, pre-treat stains with a stain remover as you normally would. If clothes are very dirty, do half size loads instead of full. If you like super whites, you can add oxygen bleach to the load. Soap nuts perform better in a less than full load. There will be very little suds. No suds actually means no commercial foaming agents or chemicals.Soap nuts are wonderful for washing cloth diapers. Unlike chemical detergents, they will not clog the fabric causing the diaper to loose its absorbency and they will not cause diaper rash.

Soap Nut from China

Sapindus (the botanical name) is a sustainable agriculture and forest product. In many ways it is similar to an olive tree. There are several common varieties of the soapberry tree. Sapindus Mukorossi and Sapindus Trifoliatus are the primary sources for the soapberry that has become know as the soap nut. They are both of the family Sapindaceae, and the genus Sapindus. The botanical name is derived from the Latin words, sapo (soap) and indicus (Indian). Chinese soap nut tree produces the most consistent quality of soap nuts of high saponin content. Sapindus Trifoliatus, which grows primarily in southern India, Indonesia and Pakistan, is a smaller tree producing smaller fruit that lack consistency and saponin content compared to Chinese soap nuts. The soap nuts from China are larger, brighter in color and gloss and are more effective in producing the 'soapy' effect. Soap nuts from the Trifoliatus tree are less desirable, of lower cost and are often exported from Indonesia. All soap nuts being marketed throughout the world contain the all-important saponins. Consistently high saponin content is the primary measure of quality. And China Soap cherry tree are widely grows in the west with age over 40 years, produces very high quality saponins. And nowadays a lot of people began to plant the trees which will make China a biggers exporting country of the soap nuts all over the world soon Note: Many other varieties of this remarkable tree grow around the world, including the U.S. (one notably called the Florida Soap Berry Tree). The data with regard to the effectiveness of their fruit as laundry detergent is limited and often conflicting. However, data consistently indicates that the Sapindus Mukorossi is the premier variety, and its fruit is the most cherished. To date, we have no knowledge of successful growth and harvests of Mukorossi outside its Asian origins. Albeit, there is no evidence that it cannot be cultivated elsewhere.
