Egusi (Melon Seed) Export

Nutrient-Dense. Soup-Thickening. Africa’s Culinary Treasure.

At ZARAKA BIZNESS HUB LTD, we specialize in the export of premium-grade Egusi seeds—carefully sourced, processed, and packaged to meet international food safety and quality standards. Egusi (melon seed) is a beloved culinary staple, used across West Africa to prepare rich, thick, and savory soups that are both traditional and highly nutritious.

We offer dehulled, whole, split, and milled Egusi, making it suitable for retailers, food processors, and restaurant suppliers around the world.


🌿 What is Egusi?

Egusi refers to the white, protein-rich seeds of a type of melon (Citrullus colocynthis or Cucumeropsis mannii), not sweet like watermelon. The seeds are dried, shelled, and often ground into powder for cooking.

When cooked, Egusi gives a thick, grainy, nutty-textured base—the defining element of the famous Egusi Soup, often paired with pounded yam, fufu, or rice.
