Argan Fruit

History:
When learning what is argan oil, it is important to understand its rich history. Argan Oil is a rare and precious commodity. It has been used in the beauty rituals of Moroccan women since antiquity. Argan trees grow in the semi-desert area of south western Morocco. They produce fruit smaller than apricots. Goats love this fruit delicious and will climb the prickly Argan trees to eat it. In the past, the pits from the goat’s droppings were cracked open and the kernels inside were pressed to make Argan Oil. The journey through the digestive system of a goat is not a necessary step in making quality Argan Oil. So we at Saadia Organics leave that step out. However, it does make for an interesting fact. Goats also damage Argan trees as they climb them. All of our Argan Oil comes from goat-free farms. |
