How are shea nuts processed?

Subsequently, the nuts are processed by boiling, roasting, or sun-drying. Boiling in water prevents the shea seeds from germinating and prevents hydrolytic degradation of the extracted shea butter. The boiled shea nuts are sun-dried, and then the dried shea nuts are cracked to obtain the kernels.

Why is shea butter a global product?

Modern machinery and processes have enabled shea butter production at scales large enough to make the product accessible globally. This means that even though shea tree cultivation is limited by the decades-long process, shea nut processing, shea kernel processing, and shea butter production are no longer constrained by geography.

Are shea nuts sun dried?

The shea nuts can also be sun-dried directly without boiling in water. Whichever way the shea nuts are dried, they are subsequently cracked or dehusked to remove the kernels from them. The extracted kernels are also sun-dried.
