Stocking up for several TV nights
If you want to keep standard packs separate for different evenings, a multipack can be handy. Albert Heijn states that the multipacks reviewed are supplied as individual packs, not small portion sachets.
Who is an almond multipack right for?
Portioning your own lunchbox snacks
If you use the same almonds at home and on the go, measuring them out yourself and sealing the pack properly are important considerations. ALDI says its reviewed unroasted almonds come in a resealable pack. Don’t give whole nuts to children under four because of the risk of choking, as advised by the MDL Fonds.
Choosing between plain and savoury
Are you looking for unsalted almonds or a savoury roasted snack? Check the ingredients and preparation description separately: unsalted, unroasted and made without added oil don’t mean the same thing.
What to look for in almond multipacks
First decide whether you want standard packs for different occasions or prefer to make your own lunchbox portions. Then compare the variety and the quantity you can store and use.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this most relevant to? |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size | Check both the number of packs and the weight of each one. The unsalted AH multipack contains three individual packs; the pack it links to weighs 190 g. | If you want to keep standard packs separate for several TV nights, the multipack format matters more than portion sachets. Around 29% of consumers prioritise pack size. |
| Lunchbox portions | If you’re looking for individual portions, check that they’re actually included. If you’re measuring them out yourself, a resealable pack and a container with a secure lid are useful; the Voedingscentrum advises keeping nuts in a well-sealed container in a cool, dark and dry place. | If you want to measure out your own portions for home and on the go, a pack that seals properly is worth considering. Around 23% of consumers prioritise portioning their own lunchbox snacks. |
| Unsalted almonds and ingredients | Read the ingredients list and check separately whether the almonds are unroasted and whether oil has been added. Jumbo lists almonds and sunflower oil in its unsalted variety; PLUS lists almonds in its unroasted, unsalted stand-up pouch. | If you specifically want unsalted almonds, don’t rely on words such as ‘plain’ or ‘unroasted’ alone. Around 18% of consumers prioritise unsalted ingredients. |
| Stock and usage | Compare the number of packs and the total quantity with what you can store and use. A larger multipack needs a suitable storage space and a pack that can be sealed properly once opened. | If you want to avoid buying more than you can store and use in time, pack size is a key factor. Around 18% of consumers prioritise buying a suitable amount. |
| Savoury flavour and preparation | Check the salt and flavourings separately from the preparation method. Duyvis describes its almonds as oven-roasted without added oil or fat; the product information also lists salt. | If you’re choosing almonds mainly as a savoury TV snack, consider both the flavour and the ingredients. Around 12% of consumers prioritise savoury flavour. |
Common mistakes when choosing
-
Assuming a stock-up multipack contains portion sachets
The AH multipacks reviewed are supplied as individual packs. The standard 190 g pack is not the same as a small, pre-portioned lunchbox snack.
Before buying, check the number of packs and the weight of each one. Bear in mind that you’ll need to measure out your own lunchbox portions and may need a container with a secure lid.
-
Assuming unsalted, unroasted and oil-free mean the same thing
Jumbo’s unsalted variety lists sunflower oil. Duyvis describes a savoury variety as roasted without added oil or fat; that doesn’t mean it’s unsalted.
Read the ingredients and preparation description separately, then choose based on what matters to you.
-
Buying a large quantity without a storage plan
Almonds can go rancid, turn chewy or become mouldy, and may absorb odours. The Voedingscentrum advises storing them in a cool, dark and dry place in a well-sealed container.
Choose a quantity that suits how quickly you’ll use it, and seal opened packs properly.
Almond brands to consider
Albert Heijn
The multipacks reviewed are intended as a stock of standard packs.
- The unsalted multipack contains three individual packs; the smoked-flavour multipack contains six.
- These multipacks don’t contain ready-made portion sachets. The linked unsalted pack weighs 190 g.
Jumbo
The unsalted almonds reviewed come in a single 140 g pack.
- The product information lists almonds as an ingredient.
- The ingredients list also includes sunflower oil, so ‘unsalted’ doesn’t mean no added oil here.
ALDI
The almonds reviewed are sold under the Trader Joe's product name, in unroasted and savoury varieties.
- ALDI says its 200 g unroasted variety comes in a resealable pack.
- The savoury product page covers several varieties, so don’t assume they all have the same ingredients.
PLUS
The variety reviewed is a 200 g stand-up pouch of unroasted, unsalted almonds.
- The product information lists almonds as an ingredient.
- It’s a single stand-up pouch, not a confirmed multipack of individual portions.

Duyvis describes Almonds Original as a savoury, oven-roasted snack in a 125 g pack.

- This is the manufacturer’s description, not an independent taste or crunchiness test. The variety isn’t unsalted.
Lidl
The product page lists Alesto Spanish almonds in several 200 g varieties.
- The pack listed can be considered as a standard consumer pack.
- Choose a specific variety; the product information doesn’t confirm that all varieties have the same ingredients or come in multipacks.

Frequently asked questions about almonds
Is an almond multipack the same as small lunchbox sachets?
No, the AH multipacks reviewed are supplied as individual packs. The unsalted multipack contains three standard packs; the linked single pack weighs 190 g. So check both the number of packs and the weight of each one.
How should you store an opened pack of almonds?
The Voedingscentrum advises keeping almonds in a well-sealed container in a cool, dark and dry place. For opened packs of unsalted almonds, the Bewaarwijzer recommends storing them in a kitchen cupboard for six months. Follow the label too, and don’t eat almonds that have gone rancid or mouldy.
Can whole almonds go in the lunchbox of a child under four?
Don’t give whole nuts to children under four because of the risk of choking. The MDL Fonds suggests nut butter with no added salt or sugar as an alternative; this is safety advice, not a legal minimum age for buying nuts.
What should you look for in the allergen information on an almond pack?
Read the label for the specific variety and check the ingredients list and any warning about possible cross-contamination. The NVWA states that allergens must be clearly identifiable in the ingredients list. Since 1 January 2026, rules apply to warnings about possible cross-contamination, with wording such as ‘May contain X’ and ‘Not suitable for people with an X allergy’.
Does ‘no added oil’ also mean ‘unsalted’?
No, these are different things. Duyvis describes the almonds as oven-roasted without added oil or fat, while the product information lists salt as an ingredient. So check both the preparation description and the ingredients list.
