Split Kernel

Split sacha inchi kernels are broken seed lobes after shelling, the form often roasted for snacks. The seeds unusual shape means splits are natural more than engineered cocktail halves. A good roasted split is crisp and mild. A bad one is dark and bitter from overroast or age. Snack as protein-rich specialty seeds or chop into granola. Freeze if keeping long. Oil fragility is the storage story.
