Walnut kernel

Walnuts have been recognized for their role in treating memory and brain-related issues since the Middle Ages. Our ancestors were convinced that the walnut kernel played an important role in strengthening the nervous system due to the resemblance between the shape of the brain and the fruit. For this reason, walnuts were associated with intellectuals. In the past, walnut kernels were used as a form of currency in some parts of the world.
