Agushie Powder

The agushi plant is very popular among Africans, who make soup from its seeds. The agushi fruit looks like a melon but has white seeds. Unlike watermelon, the fruits are not edible and are quite bitter. It is used to prepare soups and especially stews. Amino acids that are difficult to obtain in the body, such as arginine and lysine, must be obtained from other sources. Agusha seeds are an excellent source of these amino acids.

Anyone looking for a high-protein food source should have these seeds in their diet, especially people who want to build muscle like professional bodybuilders. They are also a great source of plant-based protein and are suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

It is also worth mentioning that these seeds are an excellent source of B vitamins. These vitamins are essential for ensuring good blood flow in the body, which ultimately helps maintain the health of the cardiovascular system. They also help to strengthen the immune system. Daily consumption of these seeds is equivalent to taking a vitamin supplement.
