Egunsi Foods

Guess what? Our best-selling Ata Din Din Red Pepper Sauce has been picked up by University of Massachusetts Amherst Dining this academic year. University of Massachusetts Amherst has been ranked as THE best campus food in the United States for eight years in a row ... and this year we get to join them #EgunsiMyWay! Find our Ata Din Din sauce on the legendary UMass Amherst Worcester dining hall menu as a versatile base for both West African and fusion dishes alike. This is an exciting new venture for Egunsi Foods as we continue to push our mission to demystify African food culture one soup or sauce at a time. This is a big win for Egunsi Foods and a full circle moment for Founder, 'Yemisi (Eunice) Awosan, who is bringing authentic West African flavors to her alma mater years later. #ExperienceAfricanFlavors #UMassAmherst #UMassDining #CampusDining

We had a BLAST at the Summer Fancy Food Show this past week and to be honest, we’re still processing all the insightful and inspiring conversations that were had. We could spend several paragraphs delving into the intricacies of the impact these past 3 days have had on us but we’d only be scratching the surface. From the joy of participating in the first exhibition of brands from Africa in the Africa Fine Foods Pavillion to the conversations with the retail and food service buyers, heart-to-hearts between business owners, distributors, brokers, chefs, etc. of all scales — we couldn’t be more content. A special thank you to Prosper Africa and USAID Africa Trade and Investment Activity (USAID West Africa Trade Hub, USAID) for making this culture-shifting opportunity possible and to the small (but mighty!) Egunsi Foods team for holding it down all three days. We can’t say thank you enough. Dine Diaspora thank you for featuring our Ata Din Din Red Pepper Sauce in the Red Lentil Akara cooking demo by Chef Kiano Moju and for providing a space for ?everyone? at the Fancy Food show to experience the magic that happens when one incorporates African flavors as a pantry staple in the kitchen. To the folks that stopped by Booth #4738A and put a smile on our face as you Experienced African Flavors #EgunsiMyWay — THANK YOU! We create these soups, sauces (and now frozen entrees + single sourced egunsi seeds and cowpeas) in hopes in receiving the reactions and feedback we got this very weekend. We look forward to following up on conversations and getting our products in more stores near you!?Africa to the world — one recipe at a time.????? #FancyFoodShow #AfricaPavillionatSFF #AfricaFineFoods #WeFancy #SFFS2024?#FoodandBeverage #CPGbrands

Our Egunsi Lasagna was an undeniable fan favorite during the Summer Fancy Food Show! ??

We’re excited to be exhibiting at the Summer Fancy Food show on June 23rd - June 25th— the largest specialty food show in the world! Come see us at Booth #4738A where we’ll be… ?? Debuting our new product line of frozen meals. ?? Sampling single-origin sourced egusi seeds and a variety of cowpeas, Sokoto and Oloyin Wéwé +more, native to Nigeria and Niger, which account for 66% of world production. ?? Sharing complimentary samples of our classic Introductory West African Soup Bundle. This is the first exhibition of brands from Africa under the ?Africa Fine Foods Pavilion? at the #FancyFoodShow sponsored by USAID, Specialty Food Association and Prosper Africa. This is the type of inclusivity 'Yemisi (Eunice) Awosan once only dreamed of when she first attended the Fancy Food Show back in 2018. So it is with much pride that we get to represent Nigeria, offering a taste of the finest that Africa has to offer with the world. ????? Meet us at Booth #4738A and Experience African Flavors #EgunsiMyWay. Can’t wait to see you there! #AfricaPavillionatSFF #FancyFoodShow #AfricaFineFoods #SFFS2024 #FancyFoodShow2024 #SFFS2024 #FoodAndBeverage

West African flavors have come for my freezer! This Juneteenth, I'd like to celebrate the work of Michael Twitty, whose memoir The Cooking Gene is an illuminating journey through his ancestral culinary history and the role of plantation kitchens and southern cuisine in American history. I'm also rejoicing that the new MOM's Organic Market in Natick, MA, brought contemporary West African food to my neighborhood, including Ayo West African Foods from founders Perteet Spencer and Frederick Spencer, and Egunsi Foods from founder 'Yemisi (Eunice) Awosan. Have you tried these offerings yet? What other brands should be on our radar in this space - comment below!
