What to look for when choosing
Start with the pack format: are you looking for sealed bags to take with you, or do you want to portion the almonds yourself at home? Then check the quantity, product type and storage instructions.

What to look for |
Who is this important for? |
| Individual portions |
Check both the number of sealed bags and the weight of each bag. A portion count on a larger bag doesn’t tell you how many individual packs there are. |
I want to put a bag in my lunchbox without weighing it out first. Shoppers who prioritise convenience when taking snacks with them make up around 42% of this breakdown. |
| Sharing and storage |
Check the total net weight, the number of individual bags and the storage instructions. Resealability depends on the product. |
I want to share almonds with a study group or across several snack breaks, and consider what will be left after opening. Shoppers who prioritise sharing and planning their supplies make up around 33% of this breakdown. |
| Type and ingredients |
Check whether the pack contains unsalted, unroasted or roasted almonds, and read the ingredients and allergen information. |
I want to decide the quantity myself and am looking for an unsalted option. Shoppers who prioritise product type and portion choice make up around 25% of this breakdown. |

Frequently asked questions
Does ‘4–5 portions’ mean I’ll get several individual bags?
No. The Joybuy product page describes one 125 g bag of Duyvis almonds with 4–5 portions. Check separately how many sealed bags the pack contains.
How many portions can you weigh out of 200 g?
If you weigh out 25 g portions yourself, you’ll get eight portions from 200 g. The Voedingscentrum gives 25 g as the weight of a handful of unsalted nuts; here, it’s simply the amount used for the calculation, not personalised nutritional advice.
How should I store almonds between study sessions?
Follow the instructions for the specific product. Jumbo says to store its unsalted almonds in a cool, dark place. ALDI confirms that the 200 g pack of unroasted almonds mentioned is resealable. Don’t assume all brands have the same storage instructions or pack features.
What should I consider when sharing almonds with others?
Check in advance whether the people you’re sharing with can eat almonds, and keep the packaging with its ingredients and allergen information available. The NVWA states that allergens must be clearly and correctly shown on the label; almonds are one of the tree nut allergens.
How can I tell a nut mix from a pack containing almonds only?
Check the product name and ingredients list. A product containing almonds may also contain other nuts or peanuts; the mention of almonds doesn’t make a nut mix the same as a product containing almonds only.
