The Power of 3

Do you know about the Power of 3?

The Power of 3 campaign is dedicated to celebrating walnuts as THE omega-3 nut (2.5g/oz). Taking care of your heart and overall wellness is as easy as 1, 2, 3 with California walnuts.

Walnuts are the only tree nut that is an excellent source of omega-3 ALA (2.5g/oz) which research shows may play a role in heart health, brain health and healthy aging.1,2,3

California Walnuts are certified by the American Heart Association®. Certification does not apply to information or research unless expressly stated.

However, according to a study published in Nutrition Journal, despite these powerful benefits, more than 90% of Americans aren’t getting enough omega-3 in their diet.4

Unlock the Power of (omega) 3, one handful of walnuts at a time! One ounce of walnuts offers 18g of total fat, 2.5g of monounsaturated fat, 13g of polyunsaturated fat including 2.5g of alpha-linolenic acid – the plant-based omega-3.
