About Egusi soup
Egusi Soup is a rich, flavorful dish originating from West Africa, particularly popular in Nigeria and neighboring countries. It is made using ground egusi seeds (melon seeds), which are combined with leafy greens, palm oil, and a variety of proteins such as beef, goat meat, fish, or chicken. The soup is often seasoned with onions, peppers, and local spices to create its distinctive taste. Egusi seeds are a good source of healthy fats, protein, and essential nutrients like potassium and magnesium, contributing to a balanced diet. The addition of leafy greens enhances its fiber and vitamin content. However, the use of palm oil, while traditional and flavorful, may contribute significant saturated fats, requiring moderation for heart health. Typically served with fufu, pounded yam, or rice, Egusi Soup is a comforting and nutritious staple enjoyed across generations and cultures.
