About Shea nuts
Shea nuts, derived from the Vitellaria tree native to West Africa, are rich in nutrients and widely recognized for their health benefits. High in healthy fats, particularly oleic and stearic acids, shea nuts provide a concentrated source of energy and nourishment. They are a key ingredient in traditional African cuisine and are often used in processed forms like shea butter for non-culinary purposes such as skincare. Packed with antioxidants, including vitamin E, shea nuts help combat free radicals and support cellular health. While they are nutrient-dense, they should be consumed in moderation due to their high fat content. Naturally free from trans fats and additives, shea nuts are a wholesome option for incorporating plant-based fats into diets. However, their culinary use is less common compared to their widespread application in cosmetics. Always ensure the product sourced is suitable for food consumption.
