Kpangnan - African Butter Tree
 |
| Kpangnan or "golden shea" with fruits and
nuts |
Kpangnan is the butter from the African Butter Tree
(Pentadesma butyracea), and has been sold in the west under
the name of Golden Shea Butter or Yellow Shea Butter.
In fact, the African Butter Tree is a completely
different species of tree that grows along the rivers in central
Togo. Shea trees grow in the open savanna. In contrast, African
Butter trees grown in the dense gallery forests along the rivers
and streams where water is abundant. Kpangnan is the local name
in central Togo for this butter, which is used for traditional skin
care. While this butter is popular because of its bright yellow
color, its unsaponifiable value is not as high as that of shea butter.
To learn more about Kpangnan and the difference between this butter
and unrefined shea butter, see a report
on "golden shea butter."
