All of the pretty colours of shea nuts and shea butter! It is actually a very complicated process with many steps. What are the steps you ask? ?
1.Gathering Shea Nuts
Mature shea fruits are collected from under the shea tree. The pulp is removed to get the nuts.
2.Boiling the Nuts
The nuts are boiled to prevent germination and spoilage.
3.Drying
After boiling, the nuts are dried under the sun for several days.
4.Cracking and Shelling
The hard shells are cracked to remove the kernels inside.
5.Roasting
The kernels are roasted carefully to develop oil and flavor.
6.Grinding
The roasted kernels are ground into a thick brown paste.
7.Mixing and Kneading
Water is added and the paste is mixed continuously until the oil separates.
8.Boiling the Extracted Oil.
The oil is boiled to remove impurities and excess water.
9.Cooling and Solidifying.
The clean oil cools and becomes solid, forming creamy shea butter.
10. Packaging and Storage
The finished shea butter is packaged for cooking oil, for moisturizing the skin and hair, and to create soap and lotion / skin cream production.
