Overview of Shuangliu Nature Education Center's Themed Activity Details

Natural is best~~~

Come and get to know the soapberry

Did you know

that long, long ago, when people still had to go to the river to wash clothes

Grandpa and Grandma would always take soapberries along

Why take soapberries to wash clothes?

And what exactly is a soapberry?

The soapberry is the fruit picked from the soapberry tree

and it was also a commonly used cleanser in the past

because its fruit rind contains natural saponin

which forms foam when rubbed with water

People in the old days would take that foam to wash dishes and clothes

and they would also use it to wash their hair and body

But the soapberry actually has other uses in Buddhism

Its seeds, round and glossy black, can be made into prayer beads

and the wooden rods made from its branches can be used to ward off evil

which is how it got the name "wu huan" (without misfortune)

Would you like to learn more about the soapberry's little facts?

Would you like to know whether soapberry seeds can be made into hanging ornaments as well as prayer beads?
