2. Argan oil has been used in Berber folk medicine for centuries to treat skin conditions, rheumatism and heart disease.

3. Its fruits are often used in beauty products. Its oil is rich in natural vitamins, essential fats and antioxidants that help moisturise and support hair and skin.

4. Argan oil is used in Moroccan cooking for its rich, nutty flavour. It is also used to add flavour to salad dressings, and is stirred into couscous.

5. The soft pulp surrounding the nut and seed paste from which the oil is extracted are used as animal feed for sheep, goats, camels, and cattle. Argan tree fruits and leaves are also consumed by livestock.
