About Eba and efo elegusi
Eba and Efo Elegusi is a beloved dish in Nigerian cuisine, showcasing rich, traditional flavors. Eba, a staple made from cassava flour (commonly called garri), is mixed with hot water to form a smooth, elastic dough. It is often paired with Efo Elegusi, a hearty and nutrient-packed stew made from spinach, ground melon seeds (egusi), palm oil, and assorted proteins like beef, fish, or chicken. The dish is celebrated for its balanced combination of carbohydrates, healthy fats, vitamins, and protein. Spinach provides essential nutrients like iron, while egusi offers healthy fats and antioxidants. However, the use of palm oil, though rich in vitamins A and E, is calorie-dense and should be consumed in moderation. Eba and Efo Elegusi is not only a satisfying meal but also a cultural expression of communal dining and heritage in West Africa.
