and eating the delicious morsel within. 'Chew and spit' is a
great American pastime, especially at baseball games and other
outdoor events. Kernel means the processor has mechanically removed
the hull. The resulting kernel is now in a convenient form to be
sold raw or roasted for snacking or as an ingredient
