摘要:Americans are more than a little
nutty when it comes to
their diets. Recent USDA
food consumption data show that
about 1 in every 10 consumers eats
tree nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans,
pistachios, cashews, and others) on
any given day, and the amount
eaten is fairly small. On average,
slightly more than 1 gram of tree
nuts are eaten per person per day.
Tree nut consumption is higher
among wealthier consumers and
Whites in the United States. More
adults age 40 and above eat tree
nuts than younger consumers. A
smaller proportion of consumers living
in the South and in rural areas
consume tree nuts than other consumers.
