Product Overview
Dried Egusi (Melon Seeds) are highly nutritious seeds derived from a type of melon closely related to gourds and squash. After harvesting, the seeds are cleaned, sun-dried, and prepared for packaging. These seeds are widely used in African and Middle Eastern dishes and are particularly famous for their role in making Egusi Soup, a beloved West African delicacy.
Our Egusi seeds are processed using advanced cleaning and drying techniques to ensure purity, long shelf life, and consistent quality. We cater to bulk orders for commercial, wholesale, and industrial purposes, supplying high-grade dried Egusi in large quantities at competitive prices.
