THE LIQUID GOLD! ARGAN OIL!
Argan oil (Argana spinosa) is a small and spiky tree that
growth mostly in the south of Morocco and only recently became really
recognized for its healing and nourishing properties. It bears a fruit that
yields an edible nut. It takes the whole year for the fruit to mature. If you
have seen photos of Morocco, often you will see goats on top of trees, climbing
and feeding on the fruits and twigs.
Traditionally nuts were milled by hand once the kernel has
passed through the goats gut. It then was cleaned, roasted and then ground and
crushed. The mixture was then dowsed in water and the oil floats off. Decanting
and settling removed the debris and clarified the oil.
Nowadays it is done with cold pressing and some refining.

radical scavenger. It has much more vitamin E than olive oil. It is one of the best oils to use for dry
