Inner part of a nut (6)

I believe the answer is:

kernel

(Other definitions for kernel that I've seen before include "Heart and soul" , "Edible or central part of nut" , "Inner part of a seed, the heart of the matter" , "The edible centre of a nut" , "Contents of shell" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
