The Hazelnut Council has funded three studies to assess consumer demand for nuts – especially hazelnuts – and to answer important questions being asked by food manufacturers and foodservice operators:

  • What motivates consumer demand for nuts?
  • Which nuts do consumers prefer and in what foods do they most enjoy them?
  • Which nuts do they view as trendy?
  • What role do nuts play in making prepared foods more appealing?
  • How do consumers feel about the fat content of nuts?
  • How do the health benefits of nuts affect consumer purchase intent?
  • Are consumers aware of, and motivated by, the qualified health claim for tree nuts?

Download the "Americans See Nuts as Tasty, Healthy & Indulgent" brochure to find the answers to these important questions and learn more about consumer attitudes towards hazelnuts.
