Frequently Asked Questions
Approximately 10 Reetha seeds per packet. Reetha is a large tree — even a few trees provide an abundant annual soapnut harvest for decades.
Reetha trees begin producing fruit after 5–7 years but are long-lived trees with increasingly abundant harvests for decades once mature.
Remove the hard outer shell carefully, soak the inner seed in water for 24–48 hours, then plant 2–3 cm deep in moist, rich soil. Keep warm (25–35°C). Germination takes 20–30 days.
Reetha grows well across North and Central India — Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, UP, Bihar, and Maharashtra. It prefers deep, well-drained soil and moderate rainfall.
Soapnut shells contain saponin — a natural surfactant used as laundry detergent (4–5 shells per load), natural shampoo, dishwashing liquid, and all-purpose cleaner. Completely eco-friendly and biodegradable.
