Walnuts in the News
The media spotlight continues to shine on walnuts as a delicious, versatile nut that packs powerful health benefits. During the California walnut harvest last fall, harvest stories appeared in multiple regional newspapers. Walnut supporters and friends were delighted to see walnuts as a featured story on "America's Heartland", a weekly public television series that celebrates the people, places and processes of our nation's agriculture. To experience the harvest, producers toured the orchards of a local grower in our home town of Winters, CA.

Author Steve Pratt, M.D. talked with producers about why he named walnuts a "SuperFood." SuperFoods Rx is based on a simple but profound premise: some foods are dramatically better than others for our health and longevity. Sure, everyone knows that an apple is a better snack than potato chips, but do you know that a daily handful of walnuts or a bowl of blueberries can actually improve your well-being and longevity?
