Nuts for Life | Australian Nuts for Nutrition & Health

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 on pizza – yes or no? On World Pizza Day, we say curiosity is the best topping! 😍

Here’s three nut-inspired topping combos to try 👇:

• Crunchy mixed nuts, fresh zucchini, and creamy ricotta come together beautifully on pizza. Unexpected, comforting, and seriously good.

• Buttery macadamias with roasted garlic and spinach create a savoury, umami-rich topping that works just as well with either dairy or plant-based cheese.

• Lightly-toasted pecans paired with fresh pear, ricotta, a drizzle of honey, and a touch of cinnamon deliver a luscious balance of crunch, sweetness, and spice.

Worried that eating nuts might lead to weight gain 🌰🥜? Good news: Strong research shows nuts can be part of a healthy diet without tipping the scales. 🙌

At least 19 major reviews have looked at nut consumption and body weight - and not one found that nuts lead to weight gain. Even larger amounts (3 handfuls a day) don’t appear to increase weight.

Save to keep the evidence base handy. 👆

Nuts are the perfect workout partner 🙌. They’re a tasty source of key nutrients like protein, magnesium, and zinc to help fuel your day.

Add your favourite nuts to a trail mix for the gym, blend them into a smoothie, or try these delicious macadamia butter, banana, and honey crostinis 😍.

Save to keep the recipe handy 👆.

Ingredients:
✨Salted macadamia butter
• 500g macadamias – whole nuts, halves or pieces
• 1 tsp natural salt flakes

✨To serve
• 8 slices thick cut sourdough bread
• 8 tbsp salted macadamia butter
• 4 lady finger bananas, sliced
• 4 tbsp raw honey
• Natural salt flakes
• Chia seeds

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 140°C.
2. Place the macadamias onto a baking tray.
3. Roast for 30-40 minutes, tossing every 10-15 minutes to ensure an even colour (the macadamias should be a light golden brown).
4. Place the roasted macadamias into a food processor.
5. Add the salt and blend for 1-2 minutes until the macadamias begin to break down into a paste and release their natural oils. Whether you prefer crunchy or smooth will dictate how long you continue to blend for.
6. Once the butter has reached your desired consistency, transfer to a 500ml sterilised, airtight jar and keep in the pantry or refrigerator.
7. To serve, arrange warm, toasted sourdough slices onto a serving board. Spread with macadamia butter, and top with slices of banana and a drizzle of honey.
8. Garnish with salt flakes and chia seeds. Enjoy!

Thanks to @ausmacadamias for the recipe 🙏.
