A multipack is only good value if the total quantity suits your get-together and you’ll use what’s left afterwards, and the price per kg is lower than for the same variety in individual bags. Individual bags give you more flexibility to choose separate quantities or flavours. The available product information doesn’t show that any larger pack is definitely better value.
You want to buy enough almonds without assuming that a multipack is automatically cheaper. Compare the total quantity and price per kg for the same variety. Albert Heijn lists a four-pack of unsalted almonds, but the product name alone doesn’t tell you how much you’ll save.
You’re looking for unsalted almonds for your get-together, and perhaps some for later too. You can also choose between unroasted and roasted almonds: Aldi lists a roasted, unsalted variety, while PLUS lists an unroasted, unsalted variety. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre includes unsalted nuts in its Wheel of Five healthy eating guidelines.
You want to choose which flavours to serve and how many bags to open. Aldi lists roasted salted almonds and a smoked flavour variety, among others; Duyvis describes Almonds Original as oven-roasted. Pack sizes and preparation methods vary.
First, work out roughly how many almonds you’ll need. Then compare only varieties with the same preparation method and ingredients, and choose a flavour your guests will enjoy.
| What to consider | What should you look for? | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Value per kilogram | Compare the total price and net weight of the whole multipack with the same variety in individual bags. Divide the total price by the number of kilograms. | If I’m considering a multipack, I want to know whether the price per kilogram really is lower. Around 31% of consumers say verifiable value is their main buying priority. |
| Quantity and leftovers | Choose a pack size and number of bags to suit your get-together and how you’ll use the rest afterwards. Aldi and PLUS list individual 200 g bags; check the weight of the specific variety. | I want to put enough on the table without opening more than I need. Around 25% of consumers focus on getting the right quantity and having useful leftovers. |
| Unsalted ingredients | Check the packaging to make sure the almonds are unsalted. Unroasted and roasted are different preparation methods; Aldi lists a roasted, unsalted variety, while PLUS lists an unroasted, unsalted variety. | If I specifically want to serve unsalted almonds, I check for this separately from how they’re prepared. Around 19% of consumers give unsalted ingredients top priority. |
| Flavour and preparation | Check whether the variety is unroasted or roasted, unsalted or salted, and whether it has a smoky flavour. Don’t compare varieties as if they were the same product. | I want to choose a flavour that suits my get-together, even if that means buying different bags. Around 13% of consumers put flavour and preparation first. |
| Serving safely | Check the allergen information and consider your guests’ needs. The MDL Fonds warns against serving whole nuts to children under four because of the risk of choking. | If guests with a nut allergy or young children are coming, I want to know in advance what I can serve safely. Around 12% of consumers give guest-specific safety top priority. |
Four packs don’t, by themselves, tell you the price per kilogram. Without the total net weight and a comparison with the same variety in individual bags, you can’t tell whether the multipack is better value.
Compare the total weight and price of the full pack with the same preparation method and ingredients. Choose an amount you expect to use.
These words describe different qualities. A roasted almond can also be unsalted, while an unroasted variety can be unsalted too.
Check the preparation method and whether the almonds are salted separately on the packaging before comparing products.
Almonds are among the tree nut allergens. The MDL Fonds also warns that whole nuts are not safe for children under four because of the risk of choking.
Consider your guests’ needs and offer a suitable alternative where necessary. Unsalted or roasted doesn’t mean allergen-free.

Divide the total price of the multipack by its total net weight in kilograms, then compare the result with the same variety in individual bags. Unroasted, roasted, salted and smoked flavour are different features, so don’t compare different varieties as if they were the same product.
Not necessarily: unroasted describes how the almonds have been prepared; it doesn’t mean you have to roast them first. PLUS lists unroasted, unsalted almonds, while Aldi also lists a separate roasted, unsalted variety.
Follow the storage instructions and use-by information on the packaging, and seal any leftovers well. Aldi lists resealable packaging; for a homemade nut mix, the MDL Fonds recommends an airtight container. This doesn’t give a fixed storage period for every variety of almond.
Don’t serve whole nuts to children under four: the MDL Fonds warns of a choking risk. This advice is about serving food safely to this age group.
Check the allergen information on the current packaging and consider your guests’ needs. The NVWA says allergens must be clearly and correctly listed on the label; almonds are among the tree nut allergens.
