Step By Step Process For Making Shea Butter

Shea Butter is a natural cream that is hand made from the nut of the Karite tree in Africa. The process is long and hard, and falls to the women of Africa. Sometimes, the women will have to walk miles and miles to get to where the Karite trees are. They do not pick the fruit from the trees. It must first mature and it falls to the ground, where it is harvested from. The women collect the fruit, and carry it back to where they perform the Shea Butter making process. The fruit is consumed, and the kernels are used to make the Shea Butter. First, the nuts are sorted. Then they are parboiled.
