Seed from African tree EU hasn't regulated (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
shea nut
'seed from african tree' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'eu hasn't regulated' is the wordplay.
'regulated' indicates an anagram.
'eu'+'hasnt'='euhasnt'
'euhasnt' is an anagram of 'SHEA-NUT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for shea nut that I've seen is " West African source of butter".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
