Egusi is made from melon seeds that grow primarily in the warm regions of Africa. It is composed of about 50% healthy fats and 30% protein, which makes it perfect for a low carb or keto diet.
Egusi seeds are also packed full of healthy nutrients like Vitamins A, B1, B2, and C. Egusi is also known as Elegusi or Agushi, depending on what part of Nigeria you are from.
Egusi seeds are used to make Egusi soup, a very popular Nigerian dish. They are usually blended before cooking and this can be easily done using a food processor, blender, or coffee grinder.
You do not add water when blending, but as you blend you will notice the consistency changes to a somewhat powdery paste.
