Shea kernels

Shea kernels are of substantial economic importance to some African countries as they contain almost 55% of oil by weight. The kernels are processed to obtain Shea oil which solidifies to form a solid fat, butter-like substance, called Shea butter.

Nigeria is the world largest producer of quality Shea kernels as the country produce more that 53% of the total Shea kernels available worldwide.

It is equally interesting to know that the Nigerian Shea kernel s very rich in Stearin as it represent more than 30% of the total fatty acid profile.

Shea Kernel is an annual crop with harvest starting in May of every year and our supply starting in July every year through the next 7 months.
