Why Choose Praise Milled Egusi?

Chef's Tip: For the best results, mix your milled Egusi with a little water and chopped onions to form a thick paste. Drop scoops of this paste into your boiling broth and let them "simmer and set" for 10 minutes before stirring. This technique ensures you get those delicious, firm lumps that are the hallmark of a professional Egusi soup!
