World Nut and Dried Fruit Congress

For this year's Golden Nut Award, the Oscar of the nut-and-dried-fruit world and the highlight of this three-day congress, we nominate Dr. Atkins. High-protein diets have helped boost nut consumption in the United States by almost 50% over the past decade, with almonds tightening their hold on the No. 1 spot. Why the International Nut and Dried Fruit Foundation doesn't give out a more inclusive Trail Mix Award, we don't know. But for the record, the most popular dried fruit in the U.S. is the raisin; the average American noshes 7.3 pounds each year. -- KR
