Ground Egusi (Melon) Seeds
Ground Egusi (Melon) Seeds are the hulled seeds of certain West African melons widely used in soups and stews (notably in West African cuisines) as a flavorful, fatty thickener and protein source. They are energy-dense and also notable as a plant protein ingredient, providing about 28.5g of protein per 100g. In addition to plant protein and high unsaturated fats, they supply useful minerals such as magnesium and zinc; because they are calorie- and fat-rich, they are best used in moderate portions to add richness and nutrition to dishes.
