If you want one measured snack with your coffee, take a pre-weighed portion with you. Duyvis lists 125 g for Almonds Original, while ALDI lists 200 g for the almond varieties reviewed, so don’t automatically treat the whole pack as a single portion. If you’re looking for an unsalted variety, check the ingredients too: Jumbo lists sunflower oil in its unsalted almonds.
If you want to prepare one portion before you leave, keep the portion weight separate from the total pack weight. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 grams as an example of a handful of nuts; Duyvis and ALDI list packs weighing 125 and 200 grams respectively.
If you’re looking for an unsalted variety for a regular coffee break, check the exact product name, ingredients and allergen information. For example, Jumbo lists sunflower oil in its unsalted almonds.
If you want to snack from the same pack at different times, check the seal and storage instructions. ALDI lists a resealable pack for the 200-gram unroasted and roasted unsalted almonds reviewed.
First decide whether you want to take one portion with you, are looking for an unsalted variety or would prefer a savoury flavour.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Portion and taking it with you | Compare the total contents with the amount you want to take; check whether portions are packed separately or whether you’ll need to weigh them out yourself. | If you want to prepare one measured amount before you leave, portion size and convenience on the go matter. Around 46% of consumers prioritise this need for portioning and taking a snack with them. |
| Ingredients in unsalted almonds | Check the exact variety, ingredients list and allergen information on the pack. | For a daily coffee break, you’ll want a clearly labelled unsalted variety with ingredients that suit your preferences. Around 36% of consumers prioritise this unsalted routine. |
| Savoury flavour | Check whether the variety is roasted or salted, and look at the ingredients. | If you’re after a savoury flavour with your coffee, the details of the exact variety are key. Around 18% of consumers prioritise this flavour preference. |
A 125- or 200-gram pack isn’t automatically one snack portion. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 grams as an example of a handful of nuts.
Decide how much you want to take before you leave, and distinguish between the total pack weight, your portion and any individual inner sachets.

Not based on the total weight alone. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 grams as an example of a handful of nuts. As a simple calculation, 125 grams is five 25-gram portions and 200 grams is eight. This doesn’t tell you whether there are inner sachets, and it isn’t personalised nutritional advice.
Check the information on the packaging of the exact product you’re buying. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) says allergen information must appear on the label of pre-packed products. Since 1 January 2026, the NVWA has also been checking that warnings about cross-contamination on pre-packed products are used correctly.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack. For the unsalted almonds reviewed, Jumbo advises storing them in a cool, dry place away from light. Duyvis’s product listing at Joybuy advises storing them in a cool, dry place and sealing the pack properly after opening.
According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, a best-before date relates to quality; a product is often still fine after this date. Look, smell and taste. A use-by date relates to safety: don’t use the product after that date.
