Shea Nuts

Why this origin.

Shea is collected by women's cooperatives across the northern belt. We buy through aggregators we have worked with for years, then dry and re-clean at our own warehouse before bagging.

Fat content and FFA are the two contract-critical parameters; both are tested at origin and confirmed by independent surveyors at loading.

Grades we offer

  • Sun-Dried Kernels

    Traditional dried, 6% max moisture

  • Grade A Kernels

    Low FFA, high fat content

  • Shea Butter (unrefined)

    Available on indent
