As we’ve seen before, the rare organic Argan oil is highly valued because of its wide array of documented health properties as well as its cosmetic and beauty benefits and uses.
Besides its medicinal and cosmetic benefits, pure culinary Argan oil can be used as a well-balanced dietary supplement and for creating incredibly delicious meals that provide the body’s essential nutritional needs promoting a healthy lifestyle.
Anyone who’s already tasted the organic culinary Argan oil surely remembers its light smell, the fine nutty taste and rich flavor. The variety of pure culinary Argan oil uses in authentic Moroccan recipes goes from simple bread dipping with peppermint tea for the breakfast to the use in several main dishes, i.e. stirred into couscous and used in Tagines.
It is also used as a salad-dressing without forgetting the famous Yummy! sweet Amlou — the Moroccan thick brown almond dip with a kind of peanut butter consistency.
Amlou is used locally as a bread dip. It is made by simply grinding roasted almonds and mixing these with pure culinary Argan oil plus some honey. The “magic” lies in the ingredients’ proportions, though.
