Hufra 100% Pure Argan Oil Consumption 100 ml Argan oil is not well known for being an oil that you can eat! It's more popular for its benefits for your hair and skin, but in fact Moroccans have been eating and cooking with it for centuries. And with good reason. It has a delicious soft nutty flavour and is super healthy for you too! The difference between cosmetic and culinary argan oil, is that the cosmetic version uses unroasted kernels and the argan oil made as a food product uses roasted kernels. “You can see the difference with culinary argan oil – it is slightly dark in colour depending how well the kernels were roasted. It has a very distinctive nutty aroma which cosmetic oils don’t have.” “Don’t be afraid to taste argan oil,” “It’s worth eating. It’s a really lovely oil to have, as it’s healthy, really delicious and tasty. And if you really want to add an authentic Moroccan touch to your food, then argan oil is an essential component to have in your meal.” “Argan oil is expensive because it comes from one source – one area – in the whole world. Shipping costs push it up and the product is quite labour intensive.” ‘Authentic’ hufra argan oil,  are made by Berber women in south-west of Morocco where the argan trees are grown. ( you can find fewer trees being grown in the north of Morocco).  This is because Berber women traditionally have the role of cold-pressing the oil.
