Melon Powder (Grounded Egusi)

Grounded egusi refers to ground seeds of certain cucurbitaceous plants, such as melon, squash, or gourd, commonly used in West African cuisine. Egusi seeds are rich in fat and protein, and when ground, they are used as a thickening agent in soups and stews, such as the popular Nigerian Egusi soup.

The seeds are first dried and then ground into a fine powder or paste, depending on how they will be used in cooking. Grounded egusi gives dishes a rich, nutty flavor and a creamy texture, making it a key ingredient in many traditional recipes.
