Argan oil is a plant oil extracted from argan tree (in the Latin “Argania spinosa”) pieces or endemic to Morocco. It is used in Morocco for breakfast or for showering on couscous or pasta.
Argan oil is supplied by crushing and squeezing the portions of argan. The mash expels argan oil pure, unfiltered. Unfiltered argan oil is finally emptied into ships. The rest of the press cake is rich in protein and is now used as feed for cows.
Moroccans have traditionally used argan oil to treat everything from eczema and psoriasis to wrinkles and hair loss. Although argan oil can be used as a supplement, it is high in inflammatory omega-6 fats and cannot be taken orally as bulletproof.
