This pack contains the dried whole berries, which are naturally rich in \"Saponin\" a plant-based surfactant that creates a gentle, chemical-free lather when agitated in water.

Allow the liquid to cool and strain it; this concentrated \"tea\" can be used as a liquid laundry detergent, a streak-free glass cleaner, or a gentle foaming wash for jewellery and ornaments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCulinary Versatility:\u003c\/b\u003e Unlike other botanicals in the spice rack, Aritha is \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"75\"\u003enot for eating\u003c\/b\u003e or cooking.

It is also the traditional choice for cleaning precious \"Pashmina\" shawls and gold jewellery due to its pH-neutral properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStorage \u0026amp; Care:\u003c\/b\u003e To keep the shells effective, store them in a dry, airtight container. Aritha is highly sensitive to moisture; if the shells become damp in storage, they can become sticky as the saponins begin to release prematurely. Keep them in a cool, dark place to ensure they remain potent for your next wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Top Op","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56838347653468,"sku":null,"price":1.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/2183\/6124\/files\/top-op-aritha-whole-100g-spices-502.webp?v=1788189222","url":"https:\/\/gopalgrocers.co.uk\/products\/top-op-aritha-whole-100g","provider":"Gopal Indian Grocers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
