Description

This Egusi Combo gives you everything you need to prepare one of Nigeria’s most popular soups — ground melon seeds paired with essential proteins and seasonings.

Egusi Soup is rich, hearty, and deeply savory, made from ground melon seeds cooked with palm oil, leafy vegetables, and a mix of meats and fish.

It pairs perfectly with swallows like Pounded Yam, Garri, Amala, or Semovita.

Recipe tip: Fry the ground Egusi in hot palm oil until it forms soft lumps for the classic textured version, or stir continuously for a smoother finish.
