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.

NEW STUDY ✨: Regularly eating nuts could help protect older adults from sarcopenia.

The research found older adults who ate nuts ‘almost every day’ had a 38% lower likelihood of developing sarcopenia (an age-related loss of muscle mass and strength), compared to those who ‘rarely or never’ included nuts in their diet.

DYK that around a quarter of our daily kJs come from snacks?

Done right, snacking is the perfect opportunity to pack in some essential nutrients. Even better if you replace nutrient-poor options for nourishing snacks, like nuts 🙌.

Here’s what you get from swapping out a handful of potato crisps, for a handful of nuts 🌰🥜:

✔️ Protein: Potato crisps = 1.8g → Mixed nuts = 4.7g
✔️ Fibre: Potato crisps = 1g → Mixed nuts = 2.4g
✔️ Healthy fats: Potato crisps = 76% of total fat is the healthy (unsaturated) type → Mixed nuts = 85% of the total fat is the heart-healthy type

Plus, the nuts provide important nutrients like magnesium, zinc, vitamin E and selenium.

So, if you’re not already snacking on nuts, try swapping IN a handful to your day, every day! Save to keep handy ☝️
