After the honey locust hits the ground, it still carries a layer of white powder.

There were honey locusts and soap thorns in this mess in the sky.

About honey locusts and soap thorns, I wrote about this before: The thorns of honey locusts.

Pods and soapthorns have the value of materia medica, and the flora is also recorded, which has the effect of expectorant and thoroughfare, antitussive diuretic, swelling and pus, insecticide and ringworm treatment.

Honey locust is a leguminous family that produces pods.

Soap means black, just look at the color of the honey locust. In ancient times, it was often said that the black-clothed servants were soap officials, and this is the meaning.

If it is a ripe and plump pod, it will be fat, straight, puffed up on both sides, and filled with seeds.

The short, slightly curved crescent-shaped commonly known as "pig tooth soap" is actually an abnormal fruit because there are no seeds inside.

It is particularly hard and cannot be easily broken by hand, and can only be cut or hammered with hard objects such as scissors and hammers, unless it is fresh and crispy.

I found a pod that had been fragmented by time, and under the black skin, there was a tangled wire mesh, intertwined and paved, and it was extremely strong, which should be the reason why it was difficult to break easily.

The wood of the acacia is also very solid, and you can see the hardness of the wood from the fruit.

When you open the pods, you will find that there is also a layer of white silk-like material protecting the seeds, shining like a tent.

When the curtain was lifted, the seed was found.

Reddish-brown adzuki beans stained with white grains.

Except for the seeds, there are a lot of these yellow "fillings" in the fruit.

According to the information, the pod decoction juice can be used as a substitute for soap to wash silk and wool fabrics.

I gave it a try, and it took a bit of effort to open it. And in the process, I sneezed all the time, and then I put on a mask to get better.

Some of the substances in the honey locust are irritating and I guess these granular fillers are the source of the sneezing.

Let's talk about the experimental process of laundry. After chopping the soap corner and putting it in the water, a lot of foam immediately starts, just like when using soap. It's a pity that I didn't take pictures.

After five minutes, a lot of foam disappeared, I boiled the soaphorn liquid, left it to cool, and the color changed to orange. I tried to wash the rag with it, and the effect was very average. I don't know if the dose is not enough (only half a piece of soap horn was used), or if there is a problem. Or in ancient times, washing clothes with a hammer was used to crush the soaphorn wrapped in the clothes with the force of the beating, so that it released saponin.

Anyway, I tentatively concluded that there was foam appearing, but the washing effect was weak.

Yes, after all, it's a substitute for soap.
