What it is
Organic argan oil is a cooking oil pressed from the nuts of the argan tree, native to Morocco. The nuts are first roasted, then ground into a paste, and the oil is extracted. It has a rich, nutty flavor and aroma.
Why it's used
Argan oil is used as a finishing oil for salads, vegetables, and grilled meats due to its distinct flavor. It can also be found in baked goods and some nut butters, adding a unique taste and aroma.
Health notes
Argan oil is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of healthy fats, including oleic and linoleic acids, and antioxidants like vitamin E. JECFA has evaluated argan oil and found no safety concerns at typical consumption levels. Research suggests potential benefits for heart health and skin, but more studies are needed.
Allergen info
Argan oil is derived from the nut of the argan tree, which is considered a tree nut. Therefore, it is a major allergen.
