WELCOME LETTER

Dear Friends and Colleages,

On behalf of the Local Organizing and Scientific Committee, I am very honored and pleased to host the NUTS2025 conference in Reus (Spain). The NUTS conference has always brought together a selection of eminent researchers interested in nuts and their importance in health in the world. 

NUTS2022, was designed as an international conference to serve as an inflection point in nuts’ and dried fruits’ research. It is motivated by the increasing quantum of research on the beneficial effects of nuts and dried fruits and the need for a stop along the way to think about the conference’s catchword “where we are and where we are going in research”. 

We have more than enough data to prove and show the beneficial effects of nuts and dried fruits on different cardiometabolic conditions. However, it is now time to pause, reflect, summarize and make sense of all this evidence to generate synergies and appropriately modify health claims and update dietary guidelines to include both nuts and dried fruit consumption. 

Given the enthusiastic participation and success of the previous edition of the conference, the organizers have thought it appropriate to organize the event again three years after NUTS2022 to address other hot topics and let the imagination fly for the development of one or more multi-collaborative research projects of interest to the development of Knowledge and Society. 

NUTS2025 will be a unique space to share the past, present, and future of nuts and dried fruits’ research. 

I appreciate your active collaboration and making your time to attend this event. I hope the meeting will be very fruitful and that you enjoy the Spanish hospitality. 

We welcome all of you to be part of it.

Jordi Salas-Salvadó
Chairman of the NUTS2025 Conference
