Social Media has been overflowing with objections as prices of 25ltr gallons of vegetable oils arrive at an unsurpassed high. In all the disarray, John Dumelo has spoken about another option, which he accepts is a less expensive other option.
The previous entertainer keeps on extending his enterprising abilities as he advocates residents to use shea butter, obtained from the Northern pieces of the country, to prepare quality feasts.
John Dumelo shared a question on Facebook, which has 102 shares in 5 hours. He stated, “Natural shea butter oil can be used for cooking, and it’s in overflow in the Northern part of Ghana. So why don’t we use it?”
Priced at GHc350 toward the start of the year, a few merchants are presently selling at Ghc850 and Ghc1100. This has caused a ruckus, as cooking with oil is a tremendous piece of the Ghanaian eating routine. Numerous food sellers have, increased their food prices or diminished parts to offset costs.
Shea butter or shea oil as an alternative is fast becoming a conversation as people tighten budgets to feed large families.
Shea butter is known to be an excellent choice for frying foods. Grade A unrefined shea butter is both natural and vegan. It is also very nutritious, making it a good substitute for many other cooking oils.
Some have argued that shea butter may be an unhealthy choice. But even though butter contains saturated fats, they are heart-healthy. Meanwhile, the polyunsaturated fat (omega-6 fatty acid) in oils is undesirable and should be avoided.
Shea butter has several uses aside from cooking. It is a main component in the cosmetic industry for the treatment of dandruff, acne, burns and eczema. But care must be taken as raw shea butter can cause breakouts on the face.
