About Safflower seed kernels

Safflower seed kernels are the inner edible portions of safflower seeds after removal of the hard hull. They are small and pale, with a firm, nut-like texture and mild flavour; unlike whole seeds, they lack the outer shell and can be eaten or used as an ingredient more readily.

Kernels may be used in seed mixes, baked goods or other foods, and can also be pressed for oil. They may be sold raw or roasted, and roasting changes their colour, aroma and texture. They are distinct from whole safflower seeds and from safflower oil.
