Kernel

Sacha inchi kernels are the shelled seeds sold roasted as snacks or for pressing. Roast for flavour—raw is less pleasant. Mild green-nutty taste when fresh; fishy notes mean oxidation. Freeze or refrigerate high-oil stock. Nutrition-market identity more than pie nut. Specialty seed labelling.
