Natural Soap from Algerian Trees in Historic A Novel Claim
An excerpt describes Algeria’s soap tree, reaching fifty feet, bearing fruit at six years. The hull contains 30 to 40 percent soapy matter, yielding lather when shredded and used with water. The hull powder, cake, or liquid forms enable various cleansing products. Seeds have been brought to the United States with discoveries of soap trees in Florida. The seed kernel holds oil superior to olive oil for eating and industrial uses, and the oil yield surpasses the olive fruit.
