All Goats, All The Time

Jules said:
In Morocco, some goats can climb trees. The goats spit out the fruit of the argon tree and then the locals collect the fruit for the oils. Argon oil is popular for cosmetics. I heard this on a podcast today. Hope this is all accurate.

It seems they don’t quite ‘spit’ out the fruit Jules !

‘Morocco’s goats climb the country’s argan trees, so the story goes, to eat their bitter fruit. Yet the goats cannot digest the oil-rich nuts and these pass through their digestive systems, getting softened en route. Farmers collect the softened nuts from the goats’ excrement and these, in turn, are crushed to produce argan oil, an increasingly popular product in the cosmetics industry. It is a good business for the farmers – 50ml of the oil can sell for $50’
