The growing attention in the food industry for dried fruit is confirmed by the burgeoning demand in the markets, with positive growth for the period 2020-2021, and global production at 5.3 million tonnes. An increase of 15% over the period 2019-2020 is actually estimated.

However, the growth in demand is not synonymous with an equal increase in the quality of the product, which is often subject to chemical treatments in both production and storage. For this reason, Naturalia strives to supply a quality product, specially selected from the best producers, according to very high quality standards. In this context, only walnuts from traditional organic cultivations are accepted for marketing, supporting a high sensitivity not only to consumers, but also to the producers themselves, who have certifications attesting to the sustainability of the productions, as well as their quality and respect for the highest ethical values.

people who regularly eat low doses of nuts such as walnuts, pistachios, almonds and cashews are much less likely to fall ill with some serious diseases and are able to keep their body weight under control.

The study pointed out that "in particular, those who consumed walnuts showed a lower prevalence of four risk factors related to metabolic syndromes, such as abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, high fasting blood sugar and low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol."
