And the majority of the tribes in my country, Nigeria, consume egusi soup in a variety of ways after making it with melon seeds. If you want to make Egusi soup, you must first gather the necessary components, beginning with the most crucial one: Egusi seeds.

Yes, this the food of the region is well-represented in my hometown of Afikpo, North Ebonyi State, Nigeria. On the 23rd of this month, my town will be celebrating a new yam festival, which means that on that day, all homes will cook egusi soup before proceeding with cooking the new yam. I love eating this soup considering it's so sweet. I was hoping to upload a physical picture here, but I'm not currently in my hometown.
