The argan tree grows almost only in south-west Morocco. Free Cuisine World game on MyLeoNes for ages 8–17; simulated recipes.
Your task
Put the steps in order.
- Simplified: this is the traditional hand method. Today many cooperatives use machines for some steps.
- Simulation: heat, ovens, hot oil and knives are only pretend here. At home, always cook with an adult.
- Allergens: check the label with an adult (gluten, milk, egg, nuts, peanut, shellfish, soy, sesame). We never ask about your allergies.
Score
- Safe kitchen — Adult, clean hands, cool handles: you cooked safely.
- Technique — Right order, right amounts, right timing.
- Food knowledge — You understood why it works — and where it comes from.
Around the world
In 2014 UNESCO listed the know-how of the argan tree as intangible heritage of Morocco. Much of the oil is made by women working in cooperatives.
