A recent study published in Science Daily states that small amounts of walnuts added to your diet are good for the aging brain. I'll go one step further... walnuts are good for everyone's brain. Walnuts are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, something most of us don't get enough of.
According to the study:
"Walnuts, eaten in moderation, appear to be among other foods containing polyphenols and bioactive substances that exhibit multiple effects on neural tissue."
One of my favorite ways to eat walnuts is as walnut butter. Futters Nut Butters is my favorite. They have an organic chocolate walnut butter that is fabulous! I love it with cream cheese on crackers or instead of peanut butter in a sandwich.
So for your health or just because you love nuts, add some walnuts to your daily diet.

An age old practise in India, of giving young children Almonds and Walnuts, so that they become smarter is now proved by "scientific study" ?
Either way, I am glad. There is no Almond and Walnut shortage in this family (also literally).
Jaffer: That's interesting! I've known for sometime about the benefits of walnuts but I find so many people have such a limited knowledge of nutrition. I wish that was something they taught in schools. Your ancestors were very wise (no doubt from the walnuts)!
