Despite being commonly called a “nut,” a walnut is botanically considered a drupe – a fruit with a fleshy exterior and a hard inner shell containing a seed. The fascinating part? The actual kernel inside looks remarkably similar to a human brain, making it a natural fit for its reputation as brain food!
