My dear, am among those people that eats melon but carelessly cares for its health benefits. But this article is an eye opener to me.
But i have a question, is it true that egusi enhances the rate of malaria in ones body thereby causing one to fall sick? Am asking this because, people around me forbids it base on that.
I was about to ask this too 😄. Growing up,I was told that too much egusi is not good it causes malaria, I'm still yet to find out how
Marajah I don't think is true, maybe that is thier believe. But is good to consume with adequate vegetables.
I never knew egusi is this beneficial to the body. I ate it mostly because it is a type of food that can be eaten. But now that you have brought it up, o will put it in mind how powerful egusi is.
