Argan, also known as Harjan or Berber almond, is an extremely rare tree that grows in the center of the Kingdom of Morocco, specifically in the Souss region. It is famous for its oil, considered the rarest type worldwide due to its many benefits.
Argan trees grow abundantly in southern Morocco, covering thousands of hectares in various regions. They can also be found in southwestern Algeria, Mexico, and California, but the ones in the latter two areas do not bear fruit. The Jews of Morocco brought argan fruits to Palestine to cultivate them in the Negev Desert and Wadi Araba.
The ancient Argan tree resists drought and combats desertification. Its oil is used for nutrition, beauty, and medicine, while its by-products are used as livestock feed.
