Is this butter gritty or smooth? Is the colour a deep yellow or light?

Raw shea butter is smooth but has kind a sticky feel to it after you melt it down and strain it it can turn gritty but you can whip it or add other things to it like cocoa butter or bees wax to make lotions or hair wax and I found the grittiness disappeared as for the color I find it to be kind of a mustard color hope this information helps happy buying

Gritty and smooth and deep yellow. Extra special for sops making. All I will use. Way better than processed white

If it's gritty, you're heating it at too high a temp or too fast when you're melting it.Shea needs to be melted slow and low, best in a double boiler .

I love this butter it is very smooth. I use it in my products for my skincare/beauty line. The color in it's natural state is like a canary yellow if that helps.

It has a buttercream flavor..but was extremely difficult to use. It is very stiff even when warmed to room temperature.

Gritty, possibly yes, if you are not accustomed to almond butter with no additives. But dark clumps are not something I ever experienced with this brand. The crunch almond butter is more "clumpy" than the smooth, but stirring resolves that. In my experience, a little oil accumulates at the top and needs to be stirred vigorously down to the bottom of the container. This is actually quite hard work, b/c the product is very thick/rich.

Yes, I would say that it is white. It is not stark while, but it is definitely a creamy white.

Mostly smooth but not like petroleum jelly. It's fairly solid at room temperature. Keep it out of direct sunlight, that'll bleach it and some of it will turn grainy, not smooth.

It is very smooth. I have not noticed any texture transfer to my pie crusts.

The batch I recieved was smooth. It is softer than cocoa butter and you can break a piece apart using a spoon.

yah but it wasn't really dirty. In some of the other reviews I read (before I got mine) that there was sticks and other things in the Raw Unrefined Ivory Shea Butter that some of the other buyers got. So I was a little on guard when mine came from my seller:) But it was all good:) I did like the 'how to' video on my seller's wed site said and really just a little grit was all I saw. Since refining it, it smooth and creamy:) I just hate that it gets hard after whip it and it sits:I but the heat of my hands soften it right back up:) So I am very satisfied with it:)

It taste really good I purchased cookies & creams. It is not gritty at all very easy to mix I use water and almond milk, if you want to use almond milk use the unsweetened or original if you use the vanilla almond milk it can be too sweet. It's not chalky but can be a little more on the thick side. Hope this helps :)

There should be no grittiness in this product. It is exceptionally smooth and an excellent moisturizer. If you purchased it and you found it to be gritty, contact the merchant because something is not right.

It is SUPER fine so it mixes very well in a shaker bottle, I preferred the taste in almond milk. Not gritty IMO.

the texture is solid not soft, when you apply it in your hands it warms up to be like a butter.

It is more of an ivory white with a light grey crackle through the white. Not stark white but not creamy (yellowish) either. It is very nice.

I have not noticed much debris, although I have not melted it. I like to keep the raw properties of it. My first batch may have had tiny speckles that looked like Shea nut shell, but the 2nd batch I opened today had nothing inside but the butter. :) perhaps not all batches are made alike, due to it's raw state.

Seems to be raw to me. Its in hard chunks. Its not smooth and creamy. I made exfoliant bars with it and it worked really well

To me it's either medium or actually light. The dark rye I used before is a few levels darker.
