I'm probably not the only child whose mother forced them to eat walnuts. She firmly believed that walnuts are good for the development of the brain, simply because they resemble the appearance of brains. Well, among all the "mom theories", this one is actually true!
Walnuts are rich in alpha-linolenic acid, a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid. They also possess more polyphenolic compounds than any other type of nut. Both omega-3 fatty acids and polyphenols are considered critical brain foods and could beneficially influence cognition.
Not only do they benefit your brain, but walnuts can also offer some healthy fat to a plant-based diet. Coarsely blend a handful of walnuts and mix into your bolognese sauce, "meat" loaf, burgers, or "meat" balls and they will add a lovely nutty and fatty flavor and they also help you with achieving a firmer structure for your plant-based meats.
