East African Shea

A tier

East African shea refers to Vitellaria populations and butters from the eastern side of the shea belt, related culturally to the wider African shea story with local processing differences. Butter for food and skin still dominates over snack kernels. A good East African food butter is cleanly made and labelled edible. A bad product confuses cosmetic jars with kitchen fat. Use in regional cooking where traditional. Verify grade.
