About Marula Kernel

Marula kernel is the edible kernel inside the hard stone of the marula fruit. It may be eaten or pounded for food preparations, and kernels can also be pressed to obtain oil.

The kernel is firm when whole and becomes a coarse or fine meal when pounded. Whole kernels, pounded kernels, and pressed oil are distinct forms; this entry concerns the edible kernel rather than the fruit flesh or extracted oil.
