I just read the FAQ section...Seriously?!
My Nuts are sticky! What's up?
Yikes! Soap Nuts turn black and sticky as they absorb moisture from the air. If your soap nuts are exposed to long-term moisture, like humid air, they may change color. This doesn't affect Soap Nuts' cleaning power. In fact, some people think the sticky nuts clean better because they are pre-releasing their saponin.
We like our nuts to release when WE are ready, so we pack them with a desiccant.
Maybe I'm not mature enough to try these
