Tree of beauty


In the southwest of Morocco grows a special tree: the argan tree (Argania spinosa). This is the only place in the world where the argan tree can be found. The Berber women who have been producing argan oil for centuries also affectionately call the tree 'tree of life' and 'tree of beauty'. It is one of the oldest trees in the world. Botanists estimate that there were already argan trees on earth 25 million years ago.

The fruits of the thorny argan tree contain nuts, which in turn contain kernels. The oil is extracted from these kernels. For cosmetic applications, unroasted, raw kernels are used. Producing the oil is a very labor-intensive process. Thirty kilos of kernels yield about one liter of oil.

In addition to the cosmetic variant, there is also an oil for culinary purposes. For this oil, the kernels are roasted to enhance the nutty flavor. In Moroccan cuisine, for example, the oil is used to make amlou, a Moroccan dip.
