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.

How many nuts should you eat? 🤔

A healthy handful of nuts (about 30g) every day is recommended for good health.

Why 30g? Much of the research linking nuts to health benefits is based on this amount, and the Australian Dietary Guidelines define a serve of nuts as 30g.

What does 30g look like? A handful, ¼ cup or 2 tablespoons of nut butter.

What if you want more? Research shows that enjoying around two handfuls of nuts a day may help lower cholesterol levels - without affecting body weight.

Whether they`re part of your breakfast, tossed through a salad, added to a smoothie or stir-fry, or eaten straight from the packet, nuts are a simple, satisfying way to add more nutrition to your day. 🙌

Save to keep handy or share with a fellow nut lover. 😍
