Choose based on how many individual packs you need and how many grams you want for each snack occasion: a multipack doesn’t automatically contain small portion-sized bags. The AH bundles described by Albert Heijn contain standard 190-gram packs; you can weigh out a portion yourself for a lunchbox. Your choice also depends on how quickly you’ll use them, the ingredients and how you store an opened pack.
You share almonds in the evening and want to keep several standard packs in the cupboard. Albert Heijn describes bundles of individual packs; check the number of packs and the weight of each one, rather than relying on the word ‘multipack’ alone.
You want to take almonds with you or share them, and are choosing between portioning them yourself and buying individual bags. Albert Heijn documented a Duyvis pack of four 30-gram bags, but marked it as discontinued; a listed pack size doesn’t confirm that you can buy it now.
You want to decide in advance how much to have and are paying attention to the ingredients. Product information from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS shows that unsalted almonds and almonds with no added oil don’t necessarily mean the same thing.
First decide whether you’d prefer individual packs to stock up on, a set portion or the freedom to weigh out your own amount.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Stocking up and sharing | Check the number of individual packs and the weight of each one. | If you snack with others in the evening, you’ll want enough individual packs for different occasions. Around 25% of consumers prioritise stocking up and sharing. |
| Taking them in a lunchbox | Check whether the bags are individually sealed and how many grams they contain; otherwise, you’ll need to portion them yourself. | A set amount that’s easy to take with you can be handy for a lunchbox. Around 25% of consumers give convenience on the go top priority. |
| A set evening portion | Compare the stated portion size with the contents of an individual bag, or with the amount you want to weigh out yourself. | If you want to decide in advance how much to have, a fixed bag size or weighing out your own portion may suit you. Around 19% of consumers prioritise portion size. |
| Consumption and cost | Compare the total price per kilogram for the same ingredients, and take into account how quickly you’ll use them. | If you want to use a bundle over several snack occasions, compare its contents with how much you’ll actually eat at home. Around 19% of consumers place the greatest importance on choosing an amount that suits their needs and budget. |
| Ingredients and flavour | Read the ingredients for the exact variety and check the allergen information separately. | If you’re looking for a particular flavour or combination of ingredients, check the label rather than relying on terms such as ‘unsalted’ or ‘roasted’. Around 12% of consumers choose primarily based on ingredients or flavour. |

Portioning them yourself takes extra preparation.
