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.
