I am surprised! I have never seen them for sale that way. Wherever did you find them?

Ebay but there was only 1 listing for whole ones and she only had two available. I looked on other website and compared priced but other websites shipping was ridiculous. There is still one left if you are intrested.

Hm, they look just like what I have, and they don't mention having to take the seeds out, so I think it is probably just the shells.

Either way we plan to use it as a laundry detergent because it is so Eco friendly and I have sensitive skin when it comes to detergent. So If I don't like it on my hair it sure wont go to waste.

Plus I have some aritha powder I plan to boil and try out thsi weekend

It works great for laundry. The only things I've noticed are that whites will need something more or they get dingy, and for some reason I seem to get a bit more "pilling" of my fabrics than with conventional detergent. However, it is super great still!

Also it washes my dishes way better than Ecover brand dish detergent.
