Welcome to Nuts for Life

We’re Australia’s voice for the vital role nuts play in good health and nutrition. We inspire people to enjoy a healthy handful of nuts every day. An initiative of the Australian nut industry, we also work closely with health professionals, government, and other bodies to improve the nutritional reputation of nuts.

Enjoy a healthy handful of nuts every day.

At least $980 million could be saved in health care costs each year, if all Australians ate 30g of nuts a day.

An Australian research trial suggests whole orchard recycling has the potential to reduce the carbon footprint of almond orchards.

Sustainability Matters

Our new report ‘Sustainability Matters’ offers an overview of the role of nuts within healthy and sustainable diets, and the nut industry’s sustainability initiatives.

Trees, including nut trees, are part of the Earth’s `lungs`. They remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, store carbon, and release oxygen into the air 24/7 🙌.

To mark Earth Day, here’s 5 other ways nuts are a force for good 🌍:

🌱 Good for you: A nutrient-rich, whole food alternative to highly-manufactured foods.
🌱 Low waste: A long shelf life, meaning less food waste.
🌱 Biodiversity benefits: Nut trees, and the crops often planted alongside them, contribute to biodiversity.
🌱 Soil support: Organic matter, like nut husks and tree prunings, are reused in orchards.
🌱 Water wise: Nut trees can manage their own transpiration, making them a water-efficient crop.
