Shea butter

Vitellaria paradoxa, also classified as Butyrospermum parkii and B. paradoxa, commonly known as shea tree, shi tree, vitellaria or karité, is a tree of the Sapotaceae family indigenous to Africa, occurring in Mali, Cameroon, Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Togo, Nigeria, Senegal, Sudan, Burkina Faso and Uganda. The shea fruit consists of a thin, tart, nutritious pulp that surrounds a relatively large, oil-rich seed from which shea butter is extracted.

Vitellaria paradoxa is one of the most important sources of vegetable oil in rural areas of the savanna zone of West Africa. The bulk of the seed produced is for home consumption and local trading. Nigeria is the leading producer of seeds: 355,000 t in 1999, 58% of the African production, but 10,000 t lower than in 1996. More
