Description
The Almond Board of California (ABC) supports nutrition research to understand the benefits of including almonds in healthy dietary patterns. Its clinical and epidemiological research addresses heart health, weight management, diabetes, blood sugar regulation, and other areas of global public health concern. The program aims to learn how almonds can help address these concerns and promote healthy lifestyles.
Scientific planning sessions held every three to five years guide research direction and funding priorities. Most funded projects are sourced through a systematic request for proposals process. Where expertise, resources, or necessary study populations are limited, ABC may approach specific research groups based on their expertise and research experience. Alongside this research, ABC analyzes almonds’ nutrient composition and shares the data with USDA to improve its nutrient database for almond products.
