Egusi Melon
« on: July 18, 2008, 09:52 AM »

Can anyone tell me which melon's seeds specifically do we use for traditional egusi?

I am thinking of grinding my own (not in pestle & Mortar though, Cuisinare will do), but I am not sure what type of melon seeds to use.
I am thinking of buying the actual melon, It's summer here now so melon's should be plentiful. and drying the seeds out myself and grinding them.

I just want to see if it will taste the same as store bought egusi.

So  all you agric majors and Naija culture specialist abeg help a girl out will ya?

Is this the right melon to use?

Thanks in advance

The ones we use back home are not here in the states. Unless you want to use watermelon seeds or cantalope but it wont be the same
