Argan trees, whose nuts give a most wonderful oil, grow on the coast of Morocco and almost nowhere else. The oil is used both for cooking and as a beauty aid.Here a woman sits with a traditional basket of argan nuts.
The argan tree is rather dull and unprepossessing -- a little bit like an olive to look at but not so pretty. Goats climb the trees, eat the nuts.........they pass through the goats.........
