nutritional info for egusi

naijabobo · 11-23-2007, 10:30 PM

Does anyone have this information lying around somewhere? I am trying to cook with egusi but I need to provide this information for the people I am cooking for. I really do not want to use pumpkin seed info because I know egusi has a higher protein % than pumpkin. If anyone had info for say a regular melon seed or anything close, that would be greatly appreciated
