A multipack of standard packs suits a group sharing from a supply; according to Albert Heijn, the AH 6-pack of unroasted almonds contains six individual 450 g packs, not six small snack bags. For lunchboxes, a standard pack that you portion yourself is often more practical, but allow for the time needed to prepare and seal portions, and keep the original ingredients and allergen information.
Want to divide almonds into separate portions for snacks and lunchboxes? Check the quantity per pack and whether it contains individual portions or one bag that you’ll need to divide yourself. Albert Heijn lists a 25 g serving size for its standard pack; these are not individually wrapped portions.
Buying for several people? Compare the number of packs with the total quantity. According to Albert Heijn, the AH 6-pack of unroasted almonds is supplied as six individual packs, each containing 450 g.
If you’re taking almonds for several days, check how to reseal the pack and follow the storage advice on the label. ALDI describes its 200 g pack of unroasted almonds as resealable.
When choosing almonds to share or pack in lunchboxes at a Dutch festival campsite, the main things to consider are portion sizes, how much you need, ingredients and storage.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who should consider this? |
|---|---|---|
| Small portions or standard packs | Check the number of packs, the weight of each one and whether they really contain individual portion bags. | If I want to prepare lunchboxes in advance, I need to know whether I’ll have to portion the almonds myself; around 36% of consumers prioritise individual portions when buying. |
| How much the group needs | Compare the total quantity with how much you want to take and eat. | If you’re buying for your group, you won’t want to take more than you need; around 29% of consumers prioritise getting the right quantity for their group. |
| Ingredients and flavour | Read the ingredients, salt and allergen information for the exact product variant. | If I want to cater for different preferences in the group, I look beyond the product name; around 21% of consumers consider ingredients and flavour the most important factors. |
| Sealing and storage | Check whether the pack is resealable and follow the storage advice on the label. | If you’re using a bag over several days, you’ll want to be able to seal it properly after opening; around 14% of consumers prioritise storage when buying. |
The AH 6-pack of unroasted almonds contains six individual 450 g packs. It’s a bulk pack, not a set of lunchbox-sized bags.
Check the weight of each pack and work out how much you want to portion before choosing the multipack.
Portioning the almonds yourself takes time and requires your own containers; if you buy too much, you may be left with leftovers.
Jumbo Unsalted Almonds, 140 g, also lists sunflower oil. So the product name alone doesn’t tell you everything about the ingredients.
Check the ingredients for the exact product variant rather than relying on terms such as ‘unsalted’ or ‘unroasted’.
Ingredients and allergen information vary from product to product. If you divide the almonds between lunchboxes, that information could become separated from them.
Keep the label or a clear photo of it with the supply, and make sure everyone receiving a portion can check the information.
If you open a pack more than once, you’ll need to seal it properly after each use. AH advises resealing its unroasted almonds tightly and storing them in a cool, dark, dry place; ALDI describes its unroasted almond pack as resealable.
Choose a pack that suits your storage options and follow the product’s storage advice.

Follow the product’s storage advice. For its unroasted almonds, Albert Heijn advises storing them in a cool, dark, dry place and sealing the pack tightly after use; Jumbo says to store them in a dry, dark place. This doesn’t guarantee that storing them in a warm tent is suitable.
Keep the original ingredients and allergen information with the supply, and make sure everyone receiving a portion can check it. For its unroasted variety, Albert Heijn lists almonds and possible traces of peanuts and other nuts; Jumbo lists almonds and nuts and says the product may contain peanuts.
Not without considering the risk of choking: Albert Heijn warns on the pack checked that young children can choke on nuts. So don’t assume whole almonds are suitable for every lunchbox or age group.
