Egusi is made from the seeds of the white-seed melon that grow primarily in the warm regions of Africa. It is composed of about 50% healthy fats and 30% protein, which makes it perfect for a low-carb or keto diet. They're the main ingredient in this egusi soup, which is the most popular Nigerian soup! Egusi seeds are also packed full of essential nutrients like Vitamins A, B1, B2, and C. Egusi is also known as Elegusi or Agushi, depending on what part of Nigeria you are from.
