| The following steps describe how our kuia prepared the karaka kernels for eating. |
| Back then the plant had small cobs and small, hard kernels of little nutritional value. |
| For interesting crunch and flavor try tossing the kernels into your cereal or scattering them on top of the cream cheese on your morning bagel. |
| Crack a handful of whole new season's walnuts, remove the kernels from the shells and halve and quarter them. |
| If endosperm cell division is halted at an early stage, kernels abort and fail to set seed. |
| Stress cracks are internal splits within kernels, and indicate that the corn underwent severe drying conditions. |
