Is Raw Shea Butter Edible?
Since Shea butter is made from nuts, a common question arises: Is Raw Shea Butter edible? The short answer is a resounding YES! In Northern Ghana, Shea butter isn’t just a skincare secret; in fact, it is also considered a superfood. Locals use this natural wonder in their cooking, adding a rich, nutty flavor and a burst of nutrition to their meals. At FairTale GHANA, we’re huge fans of this culinary gem. We often use our Shea butter as a cooking oil, for its nutrient-packed goodness and also for that delightful nutty taste it brings to dishes.
