Description

Egusi seeds, ground from melon, are the foundation of one of Nigeria’s most beloved soups. This blended version saves you the step of grinding whole seeds at home.

Egusi Soup is rich and deeply savory, typically cooked with palm oil, leafy vegetables, and a mix of meats and fish for a hearty, satisfying meal.

It’s traditionally enjoyed 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.
