Detergent on a Tree

For those of you with skin allergies or who are environmentally conscious, I have found something for you! They are called Soap Nuts. Yup, Soap Nuts.







They are the fruit off of the soapberry tree, and they produce saponins that gently wash your clothes without any chemicals or additives. Apparently there are lots of folks who swear by them (Natives in India have used them for centuries...) Click here for more information.


After some researching I have discovered these trees can grow in Texas. You can even buy the seeds on Amazon... I may have to grow myself some detergent! :)
