Определение sheanut в Английский Язык Английский Язык словарь
- Sheanut (Vitellaria paradoxa C. F. Gaertn.) is a deciduous, small to medium-sized tree up to 15-25 m tall. Leaves are caducous and arranged spirally, mostly in dense clusters at the tips of branches. Fruit is a 1 or 2-seeded ellipsoid berry (4-8 cm), weight 10-50 g, initially green but turning yellowish green or brown on maturity (Nikiema et al., 2007). Sheanut fruits are a source of energy during the dry season. The large fleshy seeds yield about 45% edible lardlike fat , the sheanut butter, used for food and cosmetics. A by-product of the butter extraction is sheanut cake or meal, which can be used as feedstuff
