Egusi Soup

This fabulous recipe is created by Nigerian food blogger, MIH teacher and cookery book author Duchess Nena and is featured in her new book cookery book Igbo Vegan. Jump to end of the recipe for the link to the book - you won't regret it. Egusi is commonly consumed across Nigeria. The main ingredient in Ofe Egusi is the melon seed known as egusi. This is roasted and ground before use. Egusi is healthy and rich in multiple nutrients such as Vitamin-B1, B2, B6,B9,Protain ,manganese, magnesium, zinc, iron, copper, etc. However, it is rich in omega -6 fatty acids, which must be consumed in moderation to gain benefits; apparently too much consumption of omega -6 fatty acids may become counterproductive on one’s health. As egusi is high in fat it is best cooked with little oil of choice.
