O/T-nutritional value of shea butter

[Guest guest]

I'm just wondering this; I often see descriptions for shea butter as

saying it is used as a cooking oil. I can't find any nutritional value

info on it, nor have I actually ever seen any shea butter " food "

recipes. Has anyone ever cooked with it? Is it nutritionally good to

cook with, say, compared to cooking with actual butter? Susan

It's too expensive to go cooking with it...IMHO.

I found this, but I'm still looking Susan, just cause I wouldn't use it

for cooking doesn't mean you can't.

Thank you for looking. I'm not interested in cooking with it, either.

I think because I've used it on my skin since I learned about it that

I don't think of it as being edible. Anyway, I see that it is

sometimes used as a substitute for cocoa butter in food or used for

cooking with and am curious as to how it compares to butter in the

areas of calories, saturated fat, etc. It's so good for the outside of

you I was wondering about the inside, too. Thanks, Susan
