“The launch of Diamond of California Nut Toppings demonstrates our continued focus on expanding category consumption by encouraging consumers to use Diamond nuts in a variety of ways and for occasions beyond baking,” said Craig Tokusato, vice president of marketing for Diamond Foods. “In the current economic climate, at home meal consumption continues to grow.”

The firm said the launch will allow it to compete in the US$300m savoury toppings category.
