Reetha Powder Soap nuts come from the soap nut tree (scientific name: Sapindus mukorossi). Soap nuts are also known as soap berries. They originate from India and Nepal. The fruits are small black berries, about one inch in diameter. To get soap nuts, the berries are deseeded and dried in the sun which forms a dry shell.The dry shell is what you buy as Soap Nuts. Did you know? They are not actually nuts Why are they called soap nuts? Because they act like soap! Yes, that's right! Ancient Indians have been using them to wash their hair, clothes and bodies for ages. When dried and boiled, they create a liquid that is soapy and forms a lather.
