Preparation Tips
-
Cleaning: Although Tayaako Egusi is pre-cleaned, it is always good practice to quickly rinse and drain.
-
Toasting (Optional): Lightly toast the whole seeds in a dry pan for 2–3 minutes to enhance the nutty aroma.
-
Grinding: Use a dry blender or food processor to grind the seeds into a fine powder or a thick paste (by adding a little water).
-
Cooking: Add the ground Egusi to your soup base (typically with spinach, palm oil, and your choice of protein) and allow it to simmer until it forms characteristic delicious lumps.
