Kashmir Walnut - Popular dry fruit in India - Edible seeds - Akhrot

Kashmir Walnut Kernels, also known as "Akhrot giri," are being recognized for their high oil content, crunchy texture, and rich flavor, with a sweet taste balanced by a hint of bitterness from their papery skin. They are being eaten fresh or used in confectionery and baking. These brain-shaped walnut kernels are a rich source of energy, minerals, nutrients, antioxidants, vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for brain health.
