Shea Butter Organic Unrefined

Shea Butter Organic Unrefined (Butyrospermum Parkii) Butyrospermum from Gr. Boutyron for butter; sperma, seed; in allusion to the fatty seeds. The unique shea tree is native to African and can now be found in 19 regions from Senegal to Ethiopia. Each summer, the tree bears a fruit the size of a plum, which contains a nut. Shea butter is the fat extracted from the seed that is removed from the shea nut. The nuts are mixed with water and boiled until the butter rises to the surface. The Shea kernels look much like a horse chestnut and are comprised of about 50 percent fat, 10 percent protein and 30 percent carbohydrates.
