Planners
You want to make several portions to take with you from one pack. In that case, it’s important to portion them at home and seal the pack properly after use.
Who are these packs suitable for?
Snackers who like to be spontaneous
You want to grab a sealed portion for the journey without having to weigh it first. So check whether a pack really contains small individual bags.
Snackers keeping an eye on salt and ingredients
You compare unsalted options and ingredients lists. The word ‘roasted’ alone doesn’t tell you which ingredients a product contains or how much salt it has.
What should you look for when choosing?
This table is for consumers looking for almonds as a snack to take with them; each row focuses on their first purchasing priority.
| What to consider | What should you look for? | Who is this most important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Several portions from one pack | Compare the net weight and decide how much you want to take with you each time. | If I plan several snacks in advance, I want to be able to portion the contents myself. Consumers who mainly want to get several portions from one pack account for around 34%. |
| A portion ready to take with you | Check the weight of each inner bag; a recommended serving isn’t the same as an individually packed portion. | If I want to take something with me without weighing it, I look for a sealed bag I can grab straight away. Consumers who put this convenience first account for around 33%. |
| Salt, ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and nutritional information for the exact variant, and check the allergen information too. | If I’m watching my salt intake or looking for a specific ingredients list, I want to be able to assess the variant carefully. Consumers who see this as their top priority account for around 20%. |
| Savoury flavour | Check whether the almonds are unsalted or seasoned, and read the ingredients. | If I’m mainly looking for a savoury flavour, I want to weigh up that preference against the variant’s ingredients. Consumers who put flavour first account for around 13%. |
Common buying mistakes
-
Assuming a multipack contains small snack portions
A pack containing several items may consist of regular bags rather than individual snack packs. Albert Heijn lists four 190 g items in its unsalted 4-pack; Duyvis Oven roasted at 125 g comes in a bag containing multiple portions.
Check the weight of each inner pack and distinguish between a recommended serving and a separately sealed bag.
Portioning them yourself takes preparation and may mean you need to bring an extra container or bag.
-
Confusing ‘no added oil’ with ‘unsalted’
According to the product information, Duyvis Oven roasted is made without added oil, but it contains 1.1 g of salt per 100 g. How a product is prepared and how much salt it contains are two different things.
Check added salt and oil separately in the ingredients list and nutrition table.
-
Not sealing an opened pack properly
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises keeping nuts in a dry place and sealing them properly. This is particularly important if you’re using a larger bag over several occasions.
Seal the pack straight after portioning and follow the storage instructions on the label.
Keeping an opened pack means finding a designated dry storage place and remembering to seal it properly.
Brands to compare
Duyvis
The Oven roasted variant is a savoury, seasoned bag containing multiple portions.
- Albert Heijn lists a 125 g pack, an average serving of 30 g and 4–5 servings per bag.
- The product description says the almonds are oven-roasted without added oil or fat.
- The same product information lists 1.1 g of salt per 100 g, so this variant isn’t unsalted.
- Albert Heijn lists the Duyvis pack of 4 x 30 g as discontinued.
Albert Heijn
The 190 g unsalted variant is an option if you want to portion the almonds yourself.
- Albert Heijn lists almonds as the only ingredient and gives a serving size of 25 g.
- The storage advice is to keep the almonds in a cool, dark, dry place and seal the pack properly.
- The listed serving size is nutritional information, not an indication that the pack contains individual snack bags.
Jumbo
The 140 g unsalted variant comes in a bag that you can portion yourself.
- Jumbo lists 99% almonds and sunflower oil.
- The product information says that the product may contain peanuts.
Lidl
Lidl lists almonds in 200 g bags; Alesto is the relevant nut range.
- The product page lists 200 g per bag.
- The product listings for the almonds are marked as available in store only.
- The shop description of crunchy almonds isn’t an independent taste assessment.
ALDI
Trader Joe’s Roasted Unsalted Almonds come in a 200 g bag.
- ALDI says the pack is resealable.
- The description says the almonds are roasted and unsalted.
- A resealable bag doesn’t mean the almonds come in separate, pre-packed snack portions.
PLUS
PLUS Unsalted Almonds, 150 g, come in a bag that you can portion yourself.
- PLUS lists 98% almonds and sunflower oil.
- For this variant, ‘unsalted’ doesn’t mean that no oil has been added.

Frequently asked questions
Does a 4-pack mean I get four snack portions?
No. Check the weight and packaging of each item. Albert Heijn’s unsalted 4-pack contains four 190 g items. The Duyvis pack of 4 x 30 g listed by Albert Heijn does contain individual portions, but it’s marked as discontinued there.
Are almonds with no added oil also unsalted?
No. How a product is prepared and how much salt it contains are separate characteristics. Albert Heijn says that Duyvis Oven roasted almonds are roasted without added oil, while the same product information lists 1.1 g of salt per 100 g. So check both the ingredients list and the nutrition table.
How should I store the rest of an opened bag?
Store nuts in a dry place and seal them properly, as advised by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre. Follow the instructions on the pack too: Albert Heijn advises storing its almonds in a cool, dark, dry place and sealing the pack properly; for an opened bag of Duyvis, it recommends a light- and airtight container.
What allergen information will I find on a packet of almonds sold in the Netherlands?
According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked foods; nuts are among the 14 allergens that must be declared. Business.gov.nl says that label information must be in Dutch. The NVWA says that new rules on precautionary cross-contamination warnings have applied since 1 January 2026. Always check the label on the exact pack.
Are whole almonds suitable as a snack for young children?
The product pages reviewed from Albert Heijn, PLUS and Duyvis warn that whole almonds may pose a choking risk for young children. Follow the warning on the pack; this buying guide doesn’t assess individual safety situations.
