‘The Power of 3’

California Walnuts launched its Global Marketing Initiative on March 3 with Coordinated “Power of 3” events across the Globe.

The second annual international campaign educates consumers about walnuts’ unique nutrient composition and how a handful can improve overall wellness.

Walnuts are the only tree nut to contain a significant amount of omega-3 ALA, with 2.7g in every handful (approx. 30g). As our bodies cannot make ALA, it is important we eat foods containing it.

At least 3 handfuls (one handful equal to approx. 30g) of walnuts a week is a simple way to start improving overall nutrition.

California Walnuts are the only tree nut to contain a significant amount of the plant-based omega-3, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), 2.7g/ 30g (approx. a handful). 30g of walnuts also offers 4.4g of protein and 1.4g of fibre.
