Argan Oil is often revered for its many beautifying qualities in the cosmetics industry, but often gets overlooked as a delicious ingredient in food. Alassala Organic Argan Oil is a pure speciality ingredient produced in South West Morocco by women cooperatives. The brand has made its mark in the food world, securing a position as finalist in the Best Healthy Oil Brand Category in the Veggie Awards 2014. With its delicate nutty taste, the luxury oil is perfect for drizzling over fish and meat dishes, as well as adding the finishing touch to salads and dips. High in Vitamin E and essential fatty acids, Argan Oil is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and for its effective ability to help lower cholesterol, both are factors that can feed into Type 2 diabetes as there is a train of thought that T2 diabetes is an inflammatory disease, and it is often accompanied by high cholesterol levels too. Thought to be the only natural cardio protective agent available on the market, it also reduces arthritic pains. Alassala Argan Oil comes in two sizes 250ml: RRP £19.99 and 100ml: RRP £12.99 available from independent Health Stores and Speciality Food Stores.
