brain food
Fuel for thinking
Brain food refers to foods believed to enhance mental performance, memory, or cognitive function.
Fish, nuts, and blueberries are commonly cited examples, though the term is used loosely and often with more hope than scientific backing.
I ate some walnuts before the exam—brain food, you know.
By extension, brain food can describe any intellectually stimulating content: That documentary was real brain food.
