TRADITIONAL TASTE TASTE WHOLE EGUSI
Also known by variations including agusi, agushi is the name for the fat- and protein-rich seeds of certain cucurbitaceous plants (squash, melon, gourd), which after being dried and ground are used as a major ingredient in West African cuisine.
Egusi is rich in protein, fat and vitamins A, B1, B2, C and alpha-tocopherol, a component of vitamin E. This alpha-tocopherol helps to maintain young-looking skin and good fertility. It is made up of 30 – 40 % protein, and about the same proportion of fat/oil.
