Who are these almonds for?

Anyone who portions snacks in advance

You want to take a measured snack with you for a walk or a day of travelling, rather than carrying a whole multi-portion bag. Duyvis lists Almonds Original as a 125 g pack; you decide how much to take for each snack.

Campers staying for several days

You’re looking for a pack you can dip into more than once. ALDI lists the Trader Joe’s almonds we looked at as being in a resealable pack; Jumbo recommends storing its unsalted almonds in a cool, dry, dark place.

Anyone looking for unsalted almonds

You want almonds without added salt as a snack. Compare the exact variety and ingredients: almonds can be both roasted and unsalted, and unsalted doesn’t automatically mean oil-free.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you’re taking one measured snack with you or dipping into the same pack over several days. Then compare the ingredients and check the storage instructions.

What to consider What to look for when buying Who it matters to
Taking a snack portion Check the net weight and any portion information; measure out your own portion if you don’t want to take the whole bag. If you want to take a measured amount on an outing, the bag’s weight isn’t automatically your portion. Around 42% of consumers put portion convenience first.
Ingredients and flavour Read the ingredients and salt information for the exact variety. Don’t confuse no added oil with unsalted. If you want to choose between unsalted almonds and a savoury roasted variety, look beyond the preparation description alone. Around 33% of consumers prioritise ingredients.
Resealing and storage Look for an explicit statement that the pack is resealable, and follow the storage and opening instructions on the packaging. If you want to dip into the same bag over several days of camping, both resealing it and storing it appropriately matter. Around 25% of consumers prioritise being able to use a pack more than once.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a small bag is one snack portion

    A Joybuy product page for Duyvis almonds lists 4–5 portions per bag. So a smaller pack isn’t necessarily enough for just one snack.

    Check the portion information and decide in advance how much you want to take with you.

  • Confusing unsalted with oil-free

    The ingredients list for PLUS Unsalted Almonds 150 g includes 98% almonds and sunflower oil.

    Check the salt and oil separately in the ingredients list, then choose according to your preferences.

  • Assuming a protective atmosphere guarantees freshness after opening

    Jumbo says its unsalted almonds are packed in a protective atmosphere and should be stored in a cool, dry, dark place. This information alone doesn’t tell you how long an opened bag will keep.

    Once opened, follow the storage and use-by instructions on the current packaging, and choose a pack size that suits how you’ll use it.

Brands to consider

Duyvis

Almonds Original is an option if you’re looking for a savoury roasted almond snack.

  • Duyvis describes the almonds as oven-roasted, with no added oil or fat, in a 125 g pack.
  • Crispness and flavour are the manufacturer’s claims, not the result of an independent comparison. The pack contains multiple portions.

Albert Heijn

AH Unsalted Almonds is an own-brand option for anyone looking for almonds without added salt.

  • The product page confirms that this is the unsalted variety.
  • Check the current packaging for ingredients and usage information; don’t assume that the whole range comes in portion-sized bags.

Jumbo

Jumbo Unsalted Almonds 140 g is a smaller pack to keep in stock.

  • Jumbo advises storing them in a cool, dry, dark place and says they’re packed in a protective atmosphere.
  • The packaging information doesn’t specify how long the almonds keep after opening or confirm that the pack is resealable.

Lidl

Lidl sells almonds under its Alesto product range; a Dutch product page lists a 200 g bag.

  • The product page gives the weight of the bag.
  • The page says the product is sold in store; don’t assume that all Lidl almonds are the same salt variety or come in resealable packaging.

ALDI

The 200 g Trader Joe’s almonds we looked at are roasted and unsalted.

  • ALDI lists this variety as being in a resealable pack.
  • This packaging information applies to the variety we looked at, not automatically to other ALDI products.

PLUS

PLUS Unsalted Almonds 150 g is an unsalted, roasted own-brand variety.

  • The ingredients list includes 98% almonds and sunflower oil.
  • The product page warns that it may contain other nuts and peanuts. Check the current packaging for allergen information.

Frequently asked questions

Is a small bag automatically one portion?

No. Check the total contents and any portion information. For example, a Joybuy product page for Duyvis almonds lists 4–5 portions per bag, so don’t automatically treat the whole bag as one snack.

How should you store an opened bag while camping?

Follow the instructions on the packaging for your product. Jumbo says its unsalted almonds should be stored in a cool, dry, dark place. A resealable bag is handy if you’ll use it more than once, but it doesn’t replace the storage instructions.

What should you check if you have a food allergy?

Check the ingredients and allergen warnings on the current packaging for the exact variety. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergen information must be clearly displayed on the label. For the unsalted almonds we looked at, PLUS warns that they may contain other nuts and peanuts. Since 1 January 2026, the NVWA has also been checking cross-contamination warnings on labels of prepacked products.

Can children under 4 eat whole almonds?

No. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre warns that children under 4 can choke on whole nuts or peanuts. It suggests nut butter with no added sugar or salt, spread on bread, as an alternative for young children.
