Why do walnuts look like brains?

Question

maybe its the fruit from the tree of knowledge

Answer 1

Trees were here before humans so you might ask, 'Why do our brains look like Walnuts?'

Your question is quite nutty, now shell I answer another? Yuk, yuk!

.

Answer 2

I wish you hadn't pointed that out to me.  I am never going to be able to look at a walnut in the same way, again!

Answer 3

I saw a special the other day on the effects of nuts and they showed the walnut and how it resembles a brain and there is something in the walnut that helps the brain. All nuts have different shapes typically in the shape of the organ that it helps.  

Answer 4

They are not really nuts at all.

They are dried brains from the victims of Borneo head hunters who shrink them and then sell them to brain smugglers.

Or it's a coincidence

Answer 5

So what are mussles good for???  Ha ha

Answer 8

so what does a peanut look like then?.... hahahaha!.. I am laughing off the chair at all these answers...  

Answer 9

They don't really look like brains, people have decided to describe walnut meats as looking like brains.  Pecan halves also resemble what most people think brains look like.  We could just as easily have decided to say brains looked like walnuts, except, people probably saw walnut meats before undamaged brains and thought the undamaged brain looked like a walnut.  But, people being people they decided that the nut looked like the human part instead of the human part looking like the plant part.  Same thing goes for kidney beans.

Answer 10

Because they're good for your brain.   If you slice a carrot, it looks like an eye.....carrots are good for your eyes.  Tomatoes are good for breast health....if you slice a tomato, it looks like mammary glands.
