Egusi Grounded - 100g

Egusi powder is a ground form of melon seeds, specifically from a type of large-seeded gourd, often referred to as "egusi" in West Africa. The seeds are high in fat and protein, making them a nutritious ingredient. Once the seeds are dried and ground into a fine powder, they are used in cooking, particularly in Nigerian and other West African cuisines.

Egusi powder is commonly used to make *egusi soup*, a popular dish made by thickening a stew with the powder. The soup typically includes ingredients like leafy greens, meat or fish, and various spices. The ground melon seeds give the dish a rich, nutty flavor and a thick, hearty texture. Besides soups, egusi powder can also be used in porridges and other traditional dishes.
