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.

A handful of nuts costs 85c a serve (30g), making them a healthy AND affordable snack.

Our new, easy-to-digest summary report outlines the research to date on nuts and body weight, for a health professional audience.

We’re celebrating chestnut season in Australia!

These healthy and ultra-tasty nuts are harvested from March to July each year. And we plan to incorporate fresh chestnuts into as many meals as possible! 😍

Roasted chestnuts, with their sweet aroma and texture a bit like a roast potato (crispy on the outside, with a soft centre), are a delicious base for loads of recipes.

Here’s how to roast chestnuts:
🌰 Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced).
🌰 Cut a shallow cross into the flat side of the shell (this prevents them from overheating and bursting while cooking).
🌰 Place chestnuts onto a baking tray and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the shells split open.
🌰 Once cooked, remove them from the heat, and wrap in a clean tea towel for 5 to 10 minutes, then peel off the outer brown shell and remove the papery thin skin underneath.

Tip: Peel chestnuts while they are still warm (this is much easier than after they’ve cooled).

Put your roasted chestnuts to good use with this Spicy Chestnut Noodle Soup recipe!
