Egusi Soup – is one of the most popular soups in Nigeria, because it is loved by all tribes. The soup is called Ofe Egusi in Igbo, Efo Elegusi by the Yoruba and called soup Miyan Gushi in Hausa language.




There are many mouth watering delicacies in Nigeria that nourish the body and also provides various health benefits. Have you ever wondered the health benefits of that your favorite native soup? That is why AnySoup kitchen is here for you to discuss about the nutrients gotten from some of our native soups.

1. The fat in egusi is cholesterol free. Meaning its not damaging to the heart. You may put on pounds when taking lots of egusi, but you wold be sure that its not detrimental to your heart directly.

2. It contains certain nutrients which are good for the skin, good for fertility and reproduction.

As a Nigerian, I can say we all grew up eating soups from our various tribes and loved the way it was prepared and served with pounded yam, garri, fufu, or semo but not many people are fully aware of the nutrients contained in these vegetables and other ingredients which were used to prepare the meal.

So in conclusion, egusi has good properties as a food on its own, but for weight watchers and those on low fat diets, i would suggest you stick more to plain okra soups and vegetable soups, etc... and limit your egusi intake.
