Where these numbers come from. This is an estimate for a typical home-cooked Egusi Soup, not a laboratory measurement. A restaurant version, or one cooked with more oil, will be higher. Nobody has reviewed it against a licensed nutrition database. Cooking changes food, and the same dish varies from kitchen to kitchen.

What's in it

ground egusi seeds, spinach or bitterleaf, palm oil, beef, stockfish, ground crayfish. Simmered.
