It is quite a process to produce Shea Butter. First of all, you need a lot of patience. The tree only produces its first fruits after 20 years and only after 45 years do you harvest a large quantity of fruits. However, the tree can grow for over 200 years. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo make Shea Butter, first the shell of the nut is cracked from the fruit. Here the nuts are washed and dried. Once this is done, the nuts are cracked and roasted. Then the nuts are ground so finely that a dark-colored paste is formed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis paste is kneaded (by hand) for hours and purified with clean water. After this, the butter is lightly heated until the fresh Shea Butter floats to the top.
