Heart-Healthy Fats: They are rich in unsaturated fats like omega-6 and omega-9, which help reduce bad cholesterol and promote cardiovascular health.
Antioxidants and Immunity: High in vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative damage, helping prevent chronic diseases and aging skin.
Digestive Health: Rich in both soluble and insoluble fiber, aiding digestion, regulating blood sugar, and supporting weight management.

Blood Sugar Regulation: Fiber and healthy fats help stabilize blood glucose levels, benefiting those with diabetes or at risk of developing it.

West African dishes — especially egusi soup. When ground, they create a creamy, nutty paste that enriches stews and sauces with texture and depth.
 For best results, blend the seeds finely and simmer gently with broth or palm oil. Use around 1–2 tablespoons per portion. Overcooking can reduce the nutty flavor, so cook on medium heat and stir often to maintain consistency.
