In addition, it makes a great finishing flavor when drizzled over grilled salads, fish, tajin, and couscous. Moreover, food argan oil is also the main ingredient in Amlou, a paste similar to peanut butter obtained by grinding roasted almonds with honey and argan oil (Guillaume and Charrouf, 2013). A few years ago, argan oil became highly valued by major chefs in Europe.

Phenology, breeding system and Fruit development of Argan [ Argania spinosa, Sapotaceae] cultivated in Israel, Avinoam Nerd1, Vered Irijimovich2 and Yosef Mizrahi, Economic Botany, Volume 52, Number 2 / April, 1998, pl 161-167. The argan tree ( Argania spinosa) is a native species of the sub-Saharan region of Morocco, in the southwest of the country, which grows in arid and semiarid areas. It’s the defining species of a woodland ecosystem, also known as Arganeraie, which is rich in endemic flora. It is resilient to a harsh environment under water scarcity, risk of erosion and poor soils.

During the dry period, the only feed available for goats is from the argan trees, resulting in a reduced intake and a poor condition of the animals. The rate of overgrazing was estimated to be as high as 88%, which also stunts development of the argan trees. After several years of drought in the argan tree forest, sheep rearing has been developed at the expense of goats because sheep eat less argan forage (reported to be only 17% of their diet) and are consequently less detrimental to the forest ( Zugmeyer, 2006).
