KARITE SHEA BUTTER

TRO TRO TRADING COMPANY SHEA BUTTER IS 100% NATURAL AND ORGANIC.

THIS IS A FAIR TRADE FEDERATION CERTIFIED PRODUCT
How is Karite Shea Butter Made?

First, the nuts are collected by village women in Northern Ghana from wild Shea, or Karité trees. The sweet fruit surrounding the nut is a popular treat. The nuts are parboiled in a cauldron over a wood fire. This helps to remove the outer shell, and is done by hand. The kernel is air dried on rooftops or spread on the earth. The women painstakingly pound the dried kernels with stones before they are returned to the fire to be roasted.  Piled in large basins, the women carry these on their heads to the grinding mill.  The next day they take a quantity of mash, adding small amounts of water and begin to whip and beat the mixture by hand.  After a few hours, the chocolate color begins to change as the fat rises to the surface.  Finally the Shea fat is heated to remove any liquid, filtered and cooled.  The whole process can take more than 20 hours.

Shea Butter processing gives the Talensi women a necessary income in addition to their subsistence farming.  Your purchase helps keep Shea Butter production sustainable.

How is Shea Butter Used in Africa?

West Africans use shea butter as a cooking fat, a body moisturizer, healing agent for nasal congestion, a topical ointment for burns and cuts, hair cream and they even mix it with ground millet and chili pepper for a high calorie meal.
