Did You Know?

...that gumamela extract can be an ingredient for dishwashing liquid?

Here's how -

Soap (the sodium salt of a long chain fatty acid: CH3-(CH2)n-COONa) can be enhanced (made bubblier-more colorful and fun) when gumamela is added to it but the plant itself cannot produce soap.

The recipe is: water with a bit of powdered detergent and crushed gumamelas (including leaves). This gumamela is the special secret ingredient that makes the bubbles bigger and better.
