CULINARY USES
Wild Wood Groves Argan wins the Gold
Great Taste Award August 2005
ARGAN OIL has a rich nutty flavour, and is usually used as a
finishing touch for cooked food, especially grilled fish or chicken
and roasted vegetables. Delicious on grilled peppers, tomato salad,
or carrot salad, it makes an excellent salad dressing, with or
without lemon juice.
Try adding it to soups as a rich finishing touch, or drizzled over
grilled goats cheese. Also tastes great on porridge with honey or in
thick yoghurt. See recipes
In Morocco argan oil is usually eaten by Berber families as a
breakfast dip or tea-time treat for home made bread, or, as
AMLOU, a delicious spread made of argan oil, nuts and honey. We use
only organic crushed almonds, argan oil and honey. Rich in essential
fatty acids and minerals magnesium and potassium AMLOU is a truly
heart healthy start to the day! Try it on toast, porridge or thick
yoghourt.
Wild Wood Groves SAFFRON comes from Taliouine in the Atlas Mountains
in Morocco – the finest in the country.
Harvested at the beginning of winter before sunrise, each crocus
flower yields 3 stamens which are gently collected by hand –200
being needed for a single gram. Our saffron is so intense that a
little goes a long way. Using only two or three strands allows its
scent and flavour to fully unfold in the dish. Try in paella,
tagines rice or Cornish Saffron Cake.

'Vitamin E protects the heart but
it's found in fatty foods and, as many people avoid fat they may
be missing out'

Morocco to help with heart disease and high cholesterol, is rich

their hair, skin and nails.
A pure natural skin food, rich in vitamin E and ant-oxidants, argan
can be used as a nourishing facial treatment and night oil to
protect the skin from the damaging effects of free-radicals and
reduce fine lines. Ideal as a skin protector in cold weather and to
soften dry patches anywhere on the body.
Try Lavender Argan as an after sun soother and moisturizer. To
strengthen nails and soften cuticles, apply nightly. Try it on your
hands too at night to keep your skin silky soft.

eczema, acne, psoriasis, to soften scars and help prevent stretch
marks .Ideal for massage, even safe for babies to comfort their sore
dry patches or cradle cap.
Its’ anti-inflammatory properties help combat painful rheumatic
joints, aching muscles or sports injuries. Our Soothe Aching Muscles
blend has been created to utilize these properties combined with the
pain relieving benefits of nigella.
To restore dry damaged hair rub a small amount into the hair
starting at the ends. For dry scalp or psoriasis massage into the
roots too. Leave on for half an hour, or, for very dry hair
overnight, then shampoo out. It will leave your hair soft and
manageable. Use Hair Repair Blend.
For a luxurious aromatherapy bath add a capful to the bath and pat
the body dry gently. Your skin will be gently moisturized. Or apply
to damp skin after a shower to lock in moisture. Try Bath and Body
Blend-an infusion of Argan with Moroccan herbs.
We blend our argan with only the
