Global marketing initiative launched for California walnuts
The California Walnut Commission announced its second annual “Power of 3” global marketing campaign, which builds on the successful 2020 campaign. “Power of 3” will launch on March 3rd with a first-ever global event celebrated in the USA, Germany, India, Japan, South Korea, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the Middle East to showcase how they like to get their daily handful of walnuts.
The Power of 3:
Launches March, the 3rd month of the year.
Emphasizes the rich essential plant-based omega-3 ALA content of walnuts (2.5 grams/ounce or 2.7 grams per 30g serving).
Encourages a handful a day or at least 3 handfuls (28-30 grams) a week as a way to improve overall nutrition.
A new animal study, published in the Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition, suggests regular walnut consumption may be a promising intervention for reducing negative outcomes associated with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, a widespread bacterial infection that affects more than half of the world's population.

Both MED groups consumed 28 g walnuts per day; the green-MED group consumed green tea and Mankai (a
