Tafetachte - The Argan forest:
Argan, also known as Harjan or Berber almond, is an extremely rare tree that grows in the heart of Morocco, particularly in the Souss region. It is renowned for its oil, considered the rarest type worldwide due to its numerous benefits.
Argan trees thrive in southern Morocco, covering thousands of hectares in various regions. They can also be found in southwestern Algeria, Mexico, and California, but those in the latter two areas do not bear fruit. The Jews of Morocco introduced argan fruits to Palestine to cultivate them in the Negev Desert and Wadi Araba.
The ancient Argan tree withstands drought and combats desertification. Its oil is used for nutrition, beauty, and medicine, while its by-products serve as livestock feed.
