I’ve been swapping out my usual Extra-Virgin Olive Oil with Cold-Pressed Argan Oil to drizzle on salads; Argan oil is so nutritious and has a beautiful, nutty taste that blends beautifully with spices such as cumin and coriander seed, or mixed in with dukkah (an Egyptian spice blend). Like EVOO, Virgin Argan Oil is an amazing ‘good fat’; it’s rich in vitamin E, antioxidants and omega fatty acids. It’s one of the healthiest oils you can eat! Note that as Argan oil has an extremely low smoking point, it should only be drizzled on in the final stages of cooking rather than used for cooking.
I’ve opted for 100% Pure Organic, Cold-Pressed Virgin Argan Oil from youforher, their Organic Argan Oil is ethically sourced and produced by an all-female Moroccan cooperative; over half of their profits go to supporting the equality of opportunities for women in rural Morocco.
Not only does it taste amazing, it’s amazing for the body as well as the soul.
