SAPINDUS EMARGINATUS

₹150.00

Sapindus emarginatus, commonly known as the Soapnut Tree or Indian Soapberry, is a medium-sized deciduous tree valued for its soap-producing fruits. The dried fruits (soapnuts) contain natural saponins, which create a gentle lather when mixed with water and are widely used as an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic detergents. Native to India, this hardy tree is well-suited for dry regions and is often grown for reforestation, soil stabilization, and sustainable living purposes.
