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.

Nuts and cholesterol study ❤️

There’s something special about the mixture of healthy fats, fibre, antioxidants, and plant sterols in nuts! A major new study, which combined the results of >100 earlier studies, has found a handful (or two) of nuts a day lowers total cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. It’s the strongest evidence yet on the cholesterol-lowering benefits of nuts.

Choose nuts as your go-to snack this Cholesterol Awareness Week! 🌰🥜

Tomorrow is World Diabetes Day 👏. Nuts are super healthy, and what’s more, they’re good options for people with diabetes.

By adding nuts to a meal, you’ll slow down the digestion of the entire meal (thanks to the nutty plant protein, fibre, and healthy fats), and this helps regulate blood glucose levels.

Looking for an easy way to get started? Top every salad with a handful of crunchy nuts! 🌰🥜

Here’s the recipe for our haloumi salad with radicchio, pear, Brazil nuts and walnuts.

Ingredients:
• ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 180g haloumi, sliced into 1/2 cm thick slices
• 2 green pears, thinly sliced
• 2 ½ cups rocket
• 1 cup radicchio leaves, torn apart
• ¼ cup roasted Brazil nuts, roughly chopped
• ¼ cup roasted walnuts, roughly chopped
• Juice of half a lemon

Method:
1. Combine balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until it boils and reduces slightly. Remove from heat and set aside to cool and thicken.
2. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add haloumi and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden and melted.
3. Meanwhile, combine pears, 2 cups rocket, radicchio, half the Brazil nuts and half the walnuts in a large bowl. Squeeze lemon juice over salad and toss to coat
4. Lay salad onto a serving plate and top with haloumi and remaining nuts. Drizzle over balsamic glaze and top with remaining rocket.

Save to keep handy.
