Healthy Fatty Acids
Argan oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, particularly monounsaturated fatty acids like oleic acid. These fatty acids can help regulate cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Antioxidants
Argan oil contains a high concentration of antioxidants, especially vitamin E. Antioxidants protect the body from damage caused by free radicals, which can lead to chronic diseases and premature aging.
Nutrient-Rich
Argan oil also contains other important nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, folic acid, and various minerals. These nutrients contribute to overall health and well-being.
Flavor
Argan oil has a distinctive nutty flavor that adds a special touch to many dishes. It is excellent as a dressing for salads, a dip for bread, or a flavor enhancer for various dishes.
Properties
The tocopherols found in Argan oil, which strengthen the immune system, may have cancer-preventive effects. In some types of cancer, sterols extracted from Argan oil can even support healing. Argan oil can positively impact blood sugar levels and blood pressure, potentially protecting against diabetes. Moroccan Berbers also recognize the healing powers of Argan oil. They use it, for example, to treat gastrointestinal issues, cardiovascular diseases, skin conditions such as eczema and acne, and to soothe sunburn. Argan oil is also considered effective for rheumatism, joint pain, hay fever, and allergies.
Versatility
Argan oil is used in both cold and hot dishes in the kitchen. Due to its high smoke point, Argan oil is also suitable for frying at higher temperatures. It is suitable for fish and meat dishes, salad dressings, spicy sauces, cookies, and cakes. Adding a dash of Argan oil at the end of cooking can enhance the flavor of dishes, especially when grilling meat, fish, or seafood.
However, it is important to choose high-quality, cold-pressed, and unroasted Argan oil to fully benefit from its advantages. The oil should be stored in a cool and light-protected place to maintain its quality.
