If you want to take one portion with you, check the portion size and the number of portions per pack. Albert Heijn lists 25 g per portion for a 190 g bag of almonds, while Duyvis lists 4–5 portions in a 125 g bag. You can portion out a larger pack in advance, but always check the venue’s house rules before taking food into a cinema; the Pathé rule mentioned applies specifically to school visits.

|---|---|---|

Unroasted, roasted and made without added oil or fat don’t mean the same thing as unsalted.

So, if salt is a factor in your choice, check the product variety and its label.
