Shea Nuts

Premium Shea Nuts from Nigeria

Shea nuts are the dried kernels of the Vitellaria paradoxa tree, native to the West African savannah belt. Nigeria is one of the region's leading producers, with abundant supply from Kwara, Niger, and Kebbi states. The nuts are the raw material for shea butter production, prized globally for use in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food industries.

Shea trees begin bearing fruit after 10–15 years. Once ripe, the fruit pulp is removed, and the nuts are boiled, sun-dried, and sorted to remove defective pieces. GALALTIX ensures its shea nuts are processed under optimal conditions to preserve kernel quality, fat content, and export shelf stability.
