About Watermelon seed kernel

Watermelon seed kernels are the edible inner parts of watermelon seeds, with the hard outer seed coat removed. They are eaten roasted or used in baking and other foods. The kernels are small, flat, and pale cream to ivory, with a firm, slightly oily texture when dry.

Their flavor is mild and nutty, becoming more pronounced with roasting. Kernels may be sold raw, roasted, salted, or otherwise processed; whole seeds with their shells are a different form. “Kernel” here means the edible interior, not the whole seed or the flesh of the fruit.
