Choose based on how many snack occasions you’re planning for and whether you can reseal the bag between servings. Product information from Duyvis, Jumbo, Albert Heijn, ALDI and PLUS shows packs of 125 to 200 g, intended for multiple servings. Then check the flavour, ingredients and allergens: Duyvis states that its Oven roasted variant contains 1.1 g of salt per 100 g, so the roasting method doesn’t mean the product is unsalted. Serving sizes also vary: Duyvis gives an average serving of 30 g, while Albert Heijn lists 25 g.
You want to divide a large grocery pack into smaller snack portions and store the rest properly. So check the pack size, any stated serving size and how you can reseal the packaging. Albert Heijn, ALDI and Jumbo provide information about servings or storage.
You’re looking for almonds to serve as a savoury snack alongside other party nibbles. Choose between unsalted, salted and smoky flavours, and check the ingredients for the specific variant. ALDI lists roasted and salted almonds, as well as a smoked-flavour variant.
You want to enjoy almonds as an unsalted snack outside of drinks and nibbles, too. Compare the ingredients of the variant you choose rather than relying on terms such as ‘roasted’ or ‘unroasted’. Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS each describe their own product variant.
First decide whether you want to take portions with you, are looking for a savoury flavour to serve with drinks, want to compare ingredients or need to check allergens for the people eating them. The percentages show how many consumers rank each need as their top priority.
| What to consider | What should you look for? | Who is this most important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Taking portions with you and storing the rest | Compare the net weight with the portions you want, and check how to reseal the pack after opening. | If I want to take several portions with me, I check the pack size and how to seal the rest. Around 33% of consumers put taking and storing portions first. |
| Savoury flavours to serve with drinks | Check the exact flavour and ingredients, for example for salted or smoked-flavour almonds. | For snacks with drinks, I want a flavour that goes well with everything else. Around 27% of consumers make savoury flavour their top purchase priority. |
| Unsalted ingredients | Compare added salt and the salt content per 100 g; also check whether the almonds are unroasted or roasted. | When I’m looking for unsalted almonds, I check the ingredients rather than relying on the preparation method alone. Around 27% of consumers put the ingredients first. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and any warning about possible cross-contamination on the packaging for the variant you choose. | When I take almonds for others, I check the information for the people who’ll be eating them. Around 13% of consumers make this their top purchase priority. |
The pack size and the stated serving size aren’t the same thing. Duyvis describes 125 g as four to five average servings; Albert Heijn gives a serving size of 25 g for its 190 g pack.
Plan how much you want to take for each snack break, and weigh out smaller portions if that suits the way you use them.
For Duyvis, oven-roasting without added oil or fat doesn’t refer to the salt content. According to the product information, the Oven roasted almonds contain salt and other flavouring ingredients.
Check the ingredients and nutritional information for the exact variant rather than relying on the preparation claim alone.
The almond products reviewed carry different warnings about the possible presence of other allergens. An unroasted or unsalted variant isn’t automatically allergen-free.
Read the current ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’re actually buying.
Compare the specific product variant, not just the brand name: pack size, flavour, ingredients and storage advice can vary between packs.

If you use 25 g portions, 125 g gives you five portions and 200 g gives you eight. A 140 g pack gives you five full portions with 15 g left over; a 190 g pack gives you seven full portions with 15 g left over. This is just a calculation for dividing the contents: Duyvis states an average serving of 30 g on its own label.
No. For Duyvis Oven roasted almonds, the description refers to roasting without added oil or fat. The product information does list salt: 1.1 g per 100 g.
Follow the advice for the exact pack. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing nuts in a dry place in a tightly sealed container. Albert Heijn says to seal the pack properly; Duyvis recommends storing an opened bag in a light-proof, airtight container.
Read the ingredients and any warnings on the pack for the variant you choose. Almonds are tree nut allergens; according to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked foods.
The Albert Heijn and Duyvis product pages warn that young children can choke on nuts. Bear this in mind when children are eating with you; a standard snack pack doesn’t mean the product is suitable for them.
