OUR PRICKLY PEAR OIL:
The challenge of a 100% pure, 100% organic and 100% fair trade oil!
Due to the many thorns and the imposing size of this cactus, the picking of prickly pears is carried out by hand, a laborious and precise work, each prickly pear contains in its pulp many small seeds, extracted by hand. hand by rural communities of Moroccan women.
ARGANDIA has chosen to work with a young Moroccan entrepreneur involved in the social and environmental development of Morocco: groups of women tackle this task each year, carrying out one by one all the stages of the preparation of the precious Fig Oil of Barbarity :
→ washing the harvested fruits
→ peeling and removing the pulp
→ collecting the seeds by hand
→ sorting them
→ cleaning them
→ then drying them in the sun
Too hard to then be crushed manually, they require the use of expensive machines suitable for extracting oil.
Since the seeds only contain 5% oil, many growers also use a solvent in order to increase their yield. ARGANDIA guarantees gentle mechanical extraction, without the use of chemical solvents, for a unique, 100% pure and organic Prickly Pear Oil.
Argandia's involvement involves promoting the prickly pear, beyond its traditional food use, thus slowing the rural exodus by creating jobs in desert and very poor regions. The income of working women is thus increased and this approach helps to maintain activity in small villages.
