I watched a food blogger fry her eggs with unrefined Shea butter, and it looked really nice and golden, then I thought to myself this actually isn't such a bad idea, after all Shea butter is gotten from Shea nuts, rich in nutrients, and is bound to be healthy, since it melts at body temperature. Hmm! 🤔

I dare say it can even give butter (animal fat) a run for its money. 😌
Shea butter should even be considered edible first, before any other use.

If I could get freshly made food grade Shea butter, I'd be very willing to try it.

Can you cook your meals with Shea butter?
Would you be willing to eat a meal cooked with Shea butter?

Healthy? Probably, since it melts at body temperature (which means, it most likely won't clog the arteries)
Cost effective? Probably not. cheesy

Yes you can comfortably cook any dish you fancy with Shea butter instead of other oils. It has a strong taste but otherwise very healthy.

Vaseline is a by product of crude oil manufacturing. How does it compare to plant based oils such as Coconut, palm oil and shea butter for Pete's sake. undecided

Shea butter was actually meant for cooking, until it became a skincare rave some 20 years ago. We grew up eating food cooked with it. It was thought to be inferior to other cooking oils though. Ask anyone from Oke Ogun area of Oyo State

It's people like you that used to rub groundnut oil as cream to primary school then. Be shining on the assembly ground as if they were polished.

While shea butter is primarily known for its use in skincare and cosmetic products, it is not commonly used as a cooking ingredient. Shea butter is derived from the nuts of the shea tree and is rich in fatty acids. It is often used in various beauty products due to its moisturizing and nourishing properties for the skin and hair.

In some African countries, shea butter is occasionally used in traditional cooking, particularly in certain regional dishes. However, it's important to note that the shea butter used for skincare is typically processed differently than the one used in cooking.

If you are interested in incorporating shea butter into your cooking, it's advisable to use shea butter specifically labeled as food-grade. Additionally, it's crucial to be aware that shea butter has a distinctive flavor that may not suit all types of dishes. It is not a common cooking oil and is not used as a substitute for regular cooking oils like olive oil or vegetable oil.

Always check the product labels and guidelines to ensure that the shea butter you intend to use is safe for consumption. If you're unsure or have specific dietary concerns, it's recommended to consult with a nutritionist or culinary expert for guidance on suitable cooking oils and ingredients for your meals.
