No, that’s neither a dried pellet of goat shit nor is it a gross collection of belly button lint. That’s a soapy nut, and when boiled, it becomes a soapy goo of washing goodness. Mainly used for cleaning gold, silver or brass. We came across it in a silversmith. It looks like goat shit, but it smells like luo han guo. Unless you’re looking forward to a potential episode or two of projectile diarrhea, I wouldn’t try popping that into your mouth.
