About Egusi
Egusi, derived from melon seeds, is a protein-rich ingredient widely used in West African cuisine. Known for its nutty flavor and versatility, it’s a staple in dishes such as Egusi soup, often paired with vegetables, meat, or fish. Nutritionally, Egusi is packed with healthy fats, particularly unsaturated fats, which support heart health. It’s also a good source of protein, making it valuable in plant-based diets. Rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, and C, as well as minerals like calcium, potassium, and zinc, Egusi contributes to overall wellness. Its high fiber content supports digestion and helps maintain a feeling of fullness. However, it is calorie-dense and fats can add up quickly, so moderation is key. When incorporated into balanced meals, Egusi provides both flavor and significant nutritional benefits, making it a cherished component of African culinary traditions.
