Research has revealed that immature green walnuts are rich in silver ions, which are necessary for the brain. Recommended for healing purposes due to this property, the green walnut, when eaten with its shell, renews cells and provides maximum energy. The walnut, a miniature model of the brain, is likened in appearance to the skull, its membrane to the brain's membrane, and its kernel to the brain itself. Greek scientists use the term "green walnut = young brain"; in the Caucasus, it is known as an elixir of health and youth.
