Who are these packs for?

Lunchbox planners

You want to portion out your almonds in advance, so there’s no weighing to do during a short work break. Bear in mind that a bundle of individual packs is different from a set of small, pre-portioned packs. Albert Heijn’s product information makes this distinction clear for the multipacks reviewed here.

Office sharers

You’re buying for several people and want to be able to store or share the packs individually, without opening the whole supply at once. According to Albert Heijn, the AH 3-pack and 6-pack are supplied as individual packs.

Small-quantity shoppers

You want almonds for your own lunch, but would rather not buy a large supply. The single packs reviewed here range from 140 to 200 g. For the 200 g variant reviewed here, ALDI specifically states that the pack is resealable.

What should you look for when choosing?

What to consider What to look for Who is this important for?
Ready to take with you or portion yourself Compare the number of individual packs with the number of single-serve packs. Also check whether the pack can be sealed again after use. If you don’t want to weigh anything during a short work break, having ready-to-go portions is your top priority. Around 33% of consumers give top priority to convenience when taking food with them.
Sharing a supply Consider how many people will share the supply and the total weight of the bundle. If you’re buying for several people or regularly preparing lunchboxes, individual packs make it easy to share out the supply. Around 27% of consumers prioritise having a supply to share.
Quantity and waste Choose a total quantity that matches how much you expect to use, and follow the storage instructions for the exact product. If you don’t eat many almonds, you’ll want to avoid buying a larger bundle than you need. Around 20% of consumers prioritise a suitable quantity and control over the total purchase.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients and check whether the product contains only almonds or a nut mix. Also check the allergen information on the current label. If you’re specifically looking for unsalted almonds or almonds only, the ingredients are key. Around 20% of consumers give ingredients top priority; allergen information remains important for anyone it may concern.

Common buying mistakes

  • Mistaking a 3-pack or 6-pack for lunch portions

    The AH packs reviewed here contain individual 190 g packs. Each pack contains several label servings, so you’ll still need to weigh out your own portions.

    Before planning your lunches, check both the number of packs in the bundle and the weight of each one.

    Weighing out portions takes time to prepare and may mean you need a suitable container to take them with you.

  • Choosing the largest bundle without considering how much you use

    The AH 3-pack contains 570 g in total, while the 6-pack contains 1.140 g. A larger quantity makes sense if you’ll use it and can store it according to the instructions.

    First, choose a quantity that suits the number of people you’re buying for and how often you prepare lunchboxes.

    A larger supply needs more storage space and may go unused if you eat fewer almonds than expected.

  • Treating a nut mix as the same choice as almonds

    The portion packs Duyvis describes for Unsalted Nutmix Walnut contain walnuts, cashews and hazelnuts as well as almonds. This means the ingredients and relevant allergens differ from a product containing almonds only.

    Choose a mix only if you also want the other types of nuts, and check the label, especially if you’re sharing the pack.

  • Assuming every bag is resealable

    PLUS lists a stand-up pouch, but that doesn’t in itself mean it can be resealed. The resealable packaging is specifically mentioned for the ALDI variant reviewed here.

    Check the seal on the exact product and follow its storage instructions. Albert Heijn recommends closing the pack properly after use.

Brands as a guide to pack formats

Frequently asked questions

How many lunch portions do you get from an AH multipack?

Based on the 25 g serving size listed by Albert Heijn, 570 g works out to 22 full portions with 20 g left over; 1.140 g works out to 45 full portions with 15 g left over. These are portions you weigh out yourself, not individual portion bags included with the pack. The serving size on the label isn’t personal dietary advice.

How should you store almonds after filling a lunchbox?

Follow the instructions for the exact product. Albert Heijn recommends storing the almonds in a cool, dark and dry place and closing the pack properly after use; Jumbo says to store them in a dry, dark place. You can keep unopened packs separately until you need them.

What allergen information should you check when buying online?

Check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact product, as well as the warnings on the current label. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre classifies almonds as tree nut allergens. Business.gov.nl states that label information in the Netherlands must be in Dutch and also available online. Since 1 January 2026, Dutch rules have applied to precautionary warnings about unintended allergens. These warnings concern possible cross-contamination, not an ingredient deliberately included in the product.

Can a portion pack of nut mix replace almonds?

Only if you also want the other types of nuts. According to the manufacturer, Duyvis Unsalted Nutmix Walnut contains walnuts, cashews and hazelnuts as well as almonds. Check the ingredients and allergen information if you’re sharing the mix with others.

What should you do if the packaging or product information is different?

First, check the current label. If you have questions about an AH product, contact customer services. Albert Heijn notes that ingredients, nutritional values and allergen information can change. Keep the packaging so you can identify the exact product.
