Okhar , commonly known as walnut, is a brain-shaped nut that comes from the tree Juglans regia, native to Central Asia and the Mediterranean region. In the Indian subcontinent, especially in the Himalayan regions (like Kashmir), walnuts are a valuable traditional dry fruit, used in religious rituals, health remedies, and cuisine.
Walnuts are not just known for their distinct taste and crunch but also for their rich nutritional value, especially for the brain — earning them the nickname “brain food “.
