  • The Essential Role Post Harvest Nutrition Plays in Future Yield and Quality

    —Sponsored Content—

    The almond and pistachio seasons have delivered a tale of contrasts. Market improvement and a near-record crop were positives for almond growers, while poor pollination, blanking and sharply lower production challenged the pistachio season.

    The endurance required to finish the season should be matched by foresight in taking the right steps after harvest. The work that pays off next fall starts now. Your trees have expended tremendous energy, and an effective post-harvest nutrition program is an important part of their recovery and preparation for the season ahead.

    At Redox Bio-Nutrients, our focus is helping growers get more from their nutritional programs. RAM Technology is the cornerstone of our product line and functions as a plant performance support system rather than a single product or quick fix. By supporting the natural processes plants use to manage energy, maintain balance and use available nutrition, RAM Technology helps orchards recover after harvest and prepare for the season ahead.

    Here are strong building blocks to a post-harvest recharge for your orchards:

    TriPlex® Zinc Flowable

    • Is a rich source of L-amino acid, chelated zinc that supports plant health, yield, nutrient assimilation and essential metabolic processes.

     

    Rx Platinum™

    • Provides a comprehensive nutrient package with biostimulants that support soil health, stress resilience and root growth. This post-harvest nutritional infusion helps replenish the plant and prepare it for the season ahead.

     

    RDX-N®

    • Uses patented botanical-extract technology to support nitrogen metabolism inside the plant. By supporting the natural processes that assimilate nitrogen and convert it into amino acids and other essential compounds, RDX-N helps plants make more efficient use of available nitrogen – supporting yield potential, crop quality and overall plant performance.

     

    BanX®

    • Supports carbohydrate storage and utilization for continued plant performance. With zinc and boron, it supports cell structure, sugar metabolism, stress response and long-term orchard productivity.

    These products are easy to store, blend friendly and effective at very low rates – built to fit into the operation you already run, not complicate it.

    You put in the long hours, early mornings, late nights and weekend labor that got this year’s crop across the finish line. Give your orchards the recovery they’ve earned and give next season the head start it deserves. Reach out to me or your Redox agronomist today about building a post-harvest plan that positions you for success in 2027 and for years to come.

  • Almonds Are Key to Achieving Coach PRIME’s Renewed Health Goals

    Deion “Coach PRIME” Sanders is back for another college football season, persevering after challenges with his health. As he gears up for the hustle and grind, his commitment to personal health is stronger than ever, with a mission to motivate others to live a healthy life, part of which includes eating better-for-you snacks like almonds. Packed with nutrients, almonds are more than just a snack; they are a cornerstone of the healthy lifestyle Coach PRIME is championing.

    Whether Coach PRIME is leading his team and family toward success or motivating others to make the right decisions, he is deeply committed to living with purpose, and that includes how he takes care of his body. Backed by research, daily almond snacking supports his intentional approach to health. Almonds are his go-to snack in the locker room, his office and even on the sidelines, making them a meaningful partner in his everyday routine.

    “I take my health seriously—now more than ever—and others gotta do the same to be their best and stay prime,” said Sanders. “Almonds aren’t just a snack, they’re part of the process, and I’m committed to the process. Take your health seriously, be consistent, and eat your dern almonds every day. Don’t wait another second to focus on what your body needs.”

    Snacking can be a healthy habit when done right, and Coach PRIME is calling on everyone to start today by making smarter snack choices that fuel the body and promote overall health. Almonds are a powerhouse snack, delivering steady energy and satiety through a natural blend of 6g of protein, 4g of fiber, 50% DV of vitamin E, 20% DV of magnesium, 13g of “good” unsaturated fats and only 1g of saturated fat in one serving (23 almonds). From aiding heart and metabolic health to gut support and beyond, almonds play a valuable role in healthy living. Plus, almonds’ versatility makes them a smart choice for anyone looking for simple, consistent nutrition.

  • Coach Prime Reveals the Nutrition Game Plan to Level Up Your Life — Almonds

    Almond Board of California — Spring may be the offseason for football, but that doesn’t mean players stop putting in the work every day to stay on top of their game. Players aren’t in it alone though, which is why the ultimate motivator, Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders and California Almonds have teamed up to share how almonds and exercise recovery can help you own your prime, both on and off the field.

    “Almonds are not just a snack to me. They’re part of MY JOURNEY. They’re one of my pillars of consistency in preparing both physically and mentally for whatever’s next. And for me, that means at the HIGHEST LEVEL,” says Coach. “Your PRIME has no end destination… it’s A JOURNEY. And that journey should always be evolving and growing towards that place that you call ‘there’. In order to DOMINATE in that journey, you gotta put in the WORK – and it ain’t gonna be easy. Recovery is a key part of that journey, and you need to make sure you are recovering right.”

    Owning your prime is a mindset, not a moment. Coach Prime doesn’t just coach his players, he instills a consistent hunger for improvement and daily dedication – a lesson that can evolve your life too. Whether it’s taking daily walks, increasing lifting reps or training for a marathon, consistency is key. Hit a milestone? Celebrate and put in the work to reach your goal. To help you push to the next level, Coach Prime is dropping his wisdom to help you achieve your goals:

    Tip 1: Prime Time Health – Mind and Body in Sync
    If you ain’t takin’ care of YOU, how you gonna show up for anybody else? Your health? It’s non-negotiable. Gotta keep your mind sharp and your body ready for anything. That’s why I’m all about making the time to focus on my goals and taking care of myself. You want to stay prime? Then keep yourself right. Let’s ride!

    Tip 2: Fuel Up Like a Champion
    Listen, PRIME is ALL the time, and that means fueling up like a CHAMP. Right after my morning workout, I’m going for a handful of almonds for exercise recovery, then a power breakfast: oatmeal or grits, egg whites, and turkey bacon to keep me ready for whatever the day brings. Don’t get it twisted—you can hit a cheat meal every now and then, but when the foundation is solid, you will stay PRIME every single day.

    Tip 3: Every Day is PRIME
    It doesn’t matter if it’s game day, spending time with the fam, or reeling in the big catch, you always gotta be locked in, all day, every day. It don’t matter what day of the week it is—every day is game day when you’re living prime. IT DON’T STOP, BABY! You’re either in or you’re out, but PRIME don’t take days off!

    When you have your head in the game, an important part of reaching your goals is taking care of your body. Like Coach Prime emphasizes, exercise recovery helps you stay at your best and almonds can help you recover from exercise. Groundbreaking research shows that most study participants who ate two servings of almonds, (vs. a calorie matched cereal bar,) for four weeks prior to completing 90 minutes of exercise, reported reduced fatigue and tension, increased leg and lower back strength during recovery, and decreased muscle damage during the first day of recovery after completing the exercise.1 This research, funded by the Almond Board of California, was conducted over four weeks among 64 healthy, non-smoking U.S. adults ages 30 – 65 who are occasional exercisers (less than three sessions a week).
