How do I know if my shea butter is bad?
Chef's answer
Rancid smell: Makes you gag, reminds you of olive oil gone bad or food gone bad. If your shea butter smells rancid, toss it. It would be putrid, you'd know! Smokey smell: This is a burnt smell, close to the smell of when you fire up your barbecue or burn wood.
