Egusi (Ground)

Description

Thank you for choosing DONACE Foods! Egusi seed is a popular ingredient in West African cuisine, particularly in Nigeria, Ghana, Togo, and Cameroon. It is a nutrient-rich food that is high in protein, essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and minerals.

Egusi seeds come from the bitter apple fruit and are typically ground before cooking them with leafy-green vegetables, meat, palm oil, herbs, and seasonings to form a thick soup. Nigerians typically eat egusi with éba (a dough made from dried cassava), pounded yam or fufu (another dough made from cassava).
Egusi seed is a versatile ingredient that can be used in various dishes such as soups, stews, and sauces to add flavour and thickness. It can also be grounded to make a paste that can be used as a thickener in any soup or stew.
We hope you enjoy using our authentic African egusi seed in your cooking!
