🌱 DID YOU KNOW WHERE EGUSI REALLY COMES FROM? 🇳🇬 Many people know egusi as a delicious soup ingredient, but have you ever seen the plant it comes from? Egusi is not a grain, nut, or spice. It comes from certain melon varieties that grow on creeping vines, producing fruits that contain the seeds we eat. After harvesting, the fruits are opened, the seeds are removed, washed, dried and processed into the familiar egusi kernels used in our soups. 🌿 Here’s the exciting part: Egusi can be cultivated by Nigerian farmers, and with suitable space, sunlight and soil, you can even grow it in a home garden. Egusi is more than food. It is agriculture, nutrition, culture and a potential source of income. Now tell me: Do you like Egusi soup? #Egusi #Agriculture #FarmingInNigeria #FoodSecurity
