The history of the argan tree dates back to the times of the indigenous Barber people of Chamito-Semitic origin associated with the northern part of Africa and the Sahara. The argan tree, described by the natives as the tree of life, played a great role in the existence of the population and animals inhabiting the desert climate, which is hard to survive. However, the most valuable wealth of this tree was argan oil obtained for centuries, which served primarily as food and a natural cosmetic for care purposes.
An interesting fact about the argan tree and the oil obtained from it is the fact that argan trees live on average 150-200 years. The only region where they can be found is Morocco. The areas where crops are cultivated have been included in the list of UNESCO reserves. You have to wait about half a century for the first harvest. Traditionally, argan oil is pressed by Moroccan women. Obtaining oil is very complicated and time-consuming. To obtain 1 liter of oil, you need to use about 30 kilograms of fruit.
Always close the bottle after each use and store it in a cool place.
