SHEA BUTTER; the wonder of black nations

Updated: Jan 3, 2019


Production at any scale

Don't miss this coolest of making money

The Shea butter industry in Nigeria is dominated by small scale with production capacity of less than 0.1 tons per day. The production plants are usually found in south western part of Nigeria, where there is a large market for the product.

Nutrition

In a 100 gram serving, raw cashews provide 553 calories, 67% of the Daily Value (DV) in total fats, 36% DV of protein, 13% DV of dietary fiber and 11% DV of carbohydrates (table).[17]

Uses

Shea butter is mainly used in the cosmetics industry for skin- and hair-related products (lip gloss, skin moisturizer, creams and emulsions, and hair conditioners for dry and brittle hair). Shea butter is edible and is used in food preparation in Africa. Occasionally, the chocolate industry uses shea butter mixed with other oils as a substitute for cocoa butter, although the taste is noticeably different. Shea butter melts at body temperature. Proponents of its use for skin care maintain that it absorbs rapidly into the skin, acts as a "refatting" agent, and has good water-binding properties. Shea butter melts at body temperature.
