Preparation Tips for Ground Egusi
To prepare Ground Egusi, toast the ground melon seed lightly in a dry pan over low heat for a few minutes to deepen its nutty flavour before adding it to your soup. Stir a few spoonfuls into hot palm oil, onions, and pepper to form a smooth paste, then gradually add stock while stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Ground Egusi thickens quickly, so add liquid gradually until you reach the consistency you want for egusi soup, ogbono blends, or other Nigerian stews.
Storage: Keep Ground Egusi in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, where it will stay fresh for several months. For longer shelf life, especially in warm or humid conditions, store it in the fridge or freezer to preserve its natural oils and prevent it from turning rancid. Always reseal the pack tightly after each use and use a dry spoon to keep moisture out.
