A larger bag is a good choice if you serve almonds regularly and can seal the opened pack properly. Choose individual packs or a smaller size if you’d rather open only a little at a time. Match the quantity to how much you use, and only compare products when their preparation method and variant are the same. If you want unsalted almonds, check the variant and ingredients carefully: oven-roasting without added fat does not, in itself, mean a product is unsalted.
You use almonds regularly and want to know whether a larger bag suits your needs. Also think about how you’ll store the opened pack; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises keeping almonds in a cool, dark and dry place.
You only serve drinks occasionally, or would rather divide your supply into individual packs. A multipack of separate items or a smaller pack could suit you, though that doesn’t automatically make it the cheapest option.
Your choice mainly comes down to unroasted, roasted, salted or smoky flavours. Check the exact variant: roasting without added fat is not the same as being unsalted.
Choose a pack size based on how often you serve drinks, how much you use and how you’ll store the rest. Then check that the flavour variant is right for you.

|---|---|---|
| Pack size and usage | Compare the net weight with how much your household actually uses. | If I serve almonds often, I want a pack size that suits my needs without leaving me with more than I need; around 31% of consumers put this first. |
| Storing the pack | Check whether a multipack contains individual items and whether a bag can be resealed. | If I don’t often serve drinks, I’d rather open only a little at a time and store the rest properly. Around 25% of consumers give managing their supply the highest priority. |
| Flavour and preparation | Read the variant name and check the ingredients and salt content. | If I’m after a distinctive flavour to serve with drinks, or want unsalted almonds, I check the exact variant; around 25% of consumers prioritise flavour and preparation method. |

A discount on several individual packs may be based on the usual price of those specific items. It doesn’t tell you how the quantity compares with other products or variants.

This is not an unsalted variant.
No. Albert Heijn’s product information says the AH Terra variant is ready to eat. Roasting these almonds is a matter of taste, not a necessary step.
Store almonds in a cool, dark and dry place in a well-sealed container. For opened unsalted almonds, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives general storage guidance of six months in a kitchen cupboard and one year in the freezer. Also follow the label; this advice isn’t a guarantee for every variant or pack.
Don’t assume whole almonds are suitable for young children. Albert Heijn’s product information warns that they may choke on nuts.
Check the full allergen information on the exact pack. Albert Heijn says AH Terra may contain other nuts and peanuts; the Duyvis variant may also contain wheat. Unsalted or made without added fat doesn’t mean allergen-free.
The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says mandatory labelling applies to 14 allergens. Any allergen in a product must be listed in the ingredients and clearly distinguished from the other ingredients. Always check the current pack before buying.
