History

Walnuts have been cultivated for over 7,000 years, with origins tracing back to Central Asia and the Mediterranean. Revered by the Greeks and Romans for their medicinal properties, walnuts were believed to enhance brain function, a belief that aligns with modern nutritional science. In India, walnuts are widely grown in the Himalayan region, especially Jammu & Kashmir, and are valued in Ayurveda for their medhya (brain-enhancing) and brimhana (nourishing) properties.
