Yes mine were from an Indian store. But not all the Indian store sells them so people who are thinking about making a special trip to an indiain store please call ahead. The one close to my house doesnt sell them. They only sell powder so i will have to soapnut powder for now as it is very cheap. i paid 1.79 for 100 gm and i think powder lasts a lot longer then the whole sopanut.

I was thinking about ordering the whole soapnuts directly from india. i just need to find out how much shipping costs and will have my mom call my cousin
