Here’s some information about egusi seeds:

  1. Appearance: Egusi seeds are small, oval-shaped seeds with a white, pale yellow, or light green color, depending on the variety of melon. The seeds are enclosed in a white husk.
  2. Flavor and Texture: When ground into a paste, egusi seeds have a nutty flavor and a slightly sweet taste. The paste adds a thick, rich texture to soups and stews.
  3. Preparation: Before using egusi seeds in cooking, they are often roasted to enhance their flavor. After roasting, the seeds can be ground into a fine powder or paste.
  4. Culinary Uses: Egusi seeds are a staple in Nigerian cuisine, where they are used to prepare Egusi soup, a popular and nutritious dish. The seeds are also used in other African countries for various culinary purposes, such as thickening soups, stews, and sauces.
  5. Nutritional Content: Egusi seeds are rich in protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. They are a good source of essential nutrients, making them a nutritious addition to meals.

To use egusi seeds in cooking, you can follow the recipe for Egusi soup mentioned earlier. Keep in mind that variations of this dish exist across different regions, and you can customize the recipe to suit your taste preferences.

Egusi seeds are widely available in African and international grocery stores, especially those that cater to West African cuisine. If you’re unable to find whole egusi seeds, you can often find pre-ground egusi powder or paste, which can be used as a convenient alternative.
