Welcome to Nuts for Life

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.

HEALTH NEWS. An Australian study, which collated the findings of 16 earlier studies, involving more than 722,000 women, found following a Mediterranean-style diet was linked with a 24% lower risk of cardiovascular disease.

And importantly, it also found this healthy dietary pattern could help women live much longer 🙌

The largely plant-based Mediterranean diet has been well-studied. But this was the first study of its kind to specifically focus on women.

Here’s 10 nutrition principles of the Mediterranean diet:
- Vegetables/salads with every main meal, plus herbs and spices to flavour foods
- Legumes twice per week
- Fish/seafood twice a week
- Meat/chicken less often – and opt for small portions
- Wholegrain sourdough breads
- Fresh fruit every day, including citrus
- Fermented dairy every day
- Nuts every day
- Extra virgin olive oil as the main added fat
- Wine in moderation, always with meals (if you choose to drink)

Honing in on nuts, the goal is 30g daily – which is around a handful 🌰🥜

As proud Australians, we have a soft spot for macadamias! Our native nut takes centre stage tomorrow (4 September) on Macadamia Nut Day.

Here’s 3 reasons why we LOVE macadamias:

1. 100% Australian: Macadamias originated in Australia’s ancient east coast rainforests more than 60 million years ago, making them an integral part of the Australian story.

2. Delicious: They are just PERFECT eaten on their own 👌. But macadamias also easily elevate any dish, both sweet and savoury – thanks to their rich, creamy, buttery flavour, and soft crunch.

3. Nutrient-rich: Macadamias offer a boost of heart-healthy MUFAs, plant protein, fibre, and a range of vitamins and minerals, like manganese and niacin, plus antioxidants.

Fun fact: A healthy handful (30g) is equal to around 15 macadamias.

Happy Macadamia Nut Day!
