About this stamp:
Soapberry trees are found mainly in warm tropical regions, where people native to these areas know the best way to make soap from the berries: "Dry the fruits until they can't be dried anymore, than [put the fruits] on stone metate grinds and grind until [you have] pure dust." This powder can then be used in any way regular soap is used. In the United States, soapberry trees can be found growing from Arizona east to Kansas, Texas, and Florida. The trees can flourish in a variety of environments as long as they have moist soil. Researchers have begun looking into the potential benefits of soapberries over mass-produced soap. Some positives might include less drying of skin and hair, natural antimicrobial properties, and more. It's exciting to think what other benefits might be discovered!
