You know it’s something special whenever a Chef is in the WUN kitchen.
Egusi soup is mostly eaten with a form of ‘swallow’ in Nigeria but most people will rather eat theirs with rice than with a swallow of any type.
Egusi seeds come from the Egusi gourd, which looks very similar to a watermelon. Unlike a watermelon, however, the fruit from the Egusi gourd is bitter and not edible, so these gourds are grown primarily for their seeds.
These seeds are similar in size to small pumpkin seeds and a bit creamier in flavor.
Egusi seeds are incredibly rich in protein and contain all the essential amino acids needed for the growth and development of body cells.
The seeds are rich in the 9 essential amino acids that cannot be made by the body and must be obtained from your diet.
