Soapnuts are known throughout the world by many different names. Some include soapberries, soap, nut shells, soapberry nut husk, Antuwalakayi(Kannada), Kunkudakayi(Telugu), Ponnankottai(Tamil), Reetha(Hindi) etc. These nuts are the husks or dried up shells of soapberries. Just as other nuts do, soap nuts grow from a unique species of tree. Native to many areas in India and Nepal.
