The nut market is experiencing a period of great strength and expansion. According to the report published by Dulces Noticias… y algo más (July 2025), nut consumption in Spain grew by 8.5% in volume over the past year, reaching a turnover of more than 1.4 billion euros. These figures confirm the consolidation of a category increasingly valued by consumers thanks to its nutritional profile, versatility, and adaptation to new food trends.
A Product with Tradition and Future
Nuts have been part of the Mediterranean diet for centuries, but their current popularity is linked to the growing interest in healthier and more sustainable products. Today, they are a highlight both on supermarket shelves and in professional kitchens: served as natural snacks, used in baking, as salad toppings, or as essential ingredients in vegan and functional recipes.
This boom also reflects a more informed consumer who values quality, traceability, and the origin of what they eat. This is where the industry plays a key role in ensuring increasingly demanding standards.
