Diamond of California has launched a new line of salad toppings, called Crunchy Nut Toppers. Crunchy Nut Toppers is made with bite-size pieces of nutrient-dense walnuts and pecans. The range is available in four flavours: bacon-free smoky bacon walnuts, dairy-free garden ranch walnuts, glazed walnuts and glazed pecans. Craig Tokusato, CMO of Diamond of California, said: “At Diamond of California, we continue to use our walnuts and pecans to create innovative and functional products that make at-home meals effortless and delicious". "We all know a little extra flavour and crunch elevates any dish, so we hope this new line of ready-to-use Crunchy Nut Toppers inspires home cooks to make good food even better. We recommend using them wherever you might add bacon bits, crispy onions or croutons.” Diamond of California's Crunchy Nut Toppers is available nationwide at major retailers, including Food Lion, Winn-Dixie and Lowes Foods, for $2.99 per pouch.
