#Saponins
I should’ve ’got’ Saponis. Saponins. A bit of Latin is a wonderful thing. It’s *not* a soap opera though. We’re better than that. It’s a serial drama. #Snob 🙂 #TheArchers

"So the ivy grows #purple berries? Today I learnt." I went to pick one.

Harry caught my hand. "Nope, no touching or munching on these, unless you want the saponins to induce vomiting and diarrhoea."

"Eww, hard pass."

Harry let go. "Wise decision."

Hello Wild Walk #writers

I have been waiting for this for quite some time, from bud to flower, and now fruit.
Ivy berries are here! (Dont eat)

Derived from the bark of the Quillaja saponaria tree, it is known for its natural surfactant properties. Used in the cosmetics and food industries as a foaming agent, emulsifier, and stabilizer. Rich in saponins, it offers antioxidant benefits and enhances product texture.

'Bark Bubbles'

Foamy stemflow on a tree trunk is a natural phenomenon apparently - see #AltText

Spied some this afternoon. If you look closely you'll see me reflected in lots of bubbles!

They have few predators. The spines contain detergent-like 'saponins' that can result in pain & uncontrolled bleeding.

This Pacific triton, a giant sea snail, is one of the few animals able to make a snack out of the C-O-T starfish, bypassing the thorns with a mucus coating.

Nature is metal.

In this new study, we provide evidence that switchgrass evolutionary adaptations to fungal pathogens led to shifts in concentrations of saponins, which in turn interfere with the downstream industrial process of fermentation by yeasts to make biofuels. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Common stork's-bill, Erodium cicutarium still managing to flower on a bitterly cold November day.
The plant contains saponins which are toxic to fish and amphibians, but are apparently beneficial for several human health conditions.
