Earlier this evening, I decided to bake bread with baobab powder. Do you know the baobab shell is covered with tiny hairs. The shell is hard and contains seeds covered with an off-white powder. The powder naturally dries within the fruit and is known to contain quercetin and have medicinal properties. 🌱 #Baobab powder is also known as "cream of tartar tree" and it is usually mixed with water and sometimes used as a hiccup remedy. 🌿 Baobab powder is said to have more calcium than milk. It also has a high amount of fibre which we need in our diet. I personally love using baobab powder because it helps to control my blood sugar levels and keeps my gut happy. 🍃 Our #SheabutterCottage #baobabpowder is naturally dried/processed without any additives. We purchase this directly from a community in #Ghana we support through our #helpinghandprogramme 🌿 - How do you use #baobabpowder? . #superfood #probiotic #alkaline #baobablove #communitytrade #mbuyu #towa #supportingfarmers #ethical #quercetin

Named after a Scottish botanist Allan Black, allanblackia grows in the rainforest belt of Ghana. 🌱 Loved by monkeys, the seeds of the allanblackia fruit yields ~ 50% of oil. However, due to the high natural occuring stearic acid, allanblackia quickly solidifies into an edible vegetable non greasy butter. 🌿 Allanblackia butter has a melting point of 42°C with a lovely natural scent of a very soft vanilla undertone. 🌿 Use in body/hair butters, soaps 🌍 We ship #worldwide sheabuttercottage.com . . #SheabutterCottage #ethical #ecobeauty #allanblackia #plantpower #ethicalbrand #veganlove #allanblackiabutter #SheabutterCottagebutters #supportingfarmers #Ghana #beautygram #naturalgram #natural #exoticbutter

Is shea butter safe for dry itchy sensitive skin [eczema]? "Shea nuts are mostly fat, but Chawla and her colleagues decided to see if they could extract any proteins from the nuts and whether those shea proteins would provoke an immune response . The researchers first separated out the fat from shea nuts and were left with a miniscule amount of protein, less than 1/30th the amount present in cashews and less still than that in peanuts . Even trace amounts of nut proteins can still pose problems for people susceptible to the substances, so Chawla's group tested the ability of shea protein to trigger an immune reaction. Using blood taken from several volunteers with known allergies to nuts, the researchers found that the principle immune molecule that would usually invoke an allergic response, immunoglobulin E, barely bound to the shea protein . In other words, Chawla said, although shea nut in theory could be an allergy trigger, the evidence from her study suggests it's not. At least the immune system does not appear to recognize it as a nut protein". . #sheabutter #raw #ethical fair#trade #Ghana #nkuto #SheabutterCottage #wondersofshea #supportingfarmers #edible #Mothernature
