Choose a multipack if you want to divide up several packs, but first check how much it contains and whether it includes individual inner packs. If you’d rather decide how much to have with each lunch, a standard bag is a better fit; you’ll need to portion the almonds yourself and store the rest in a tightly sealed container.
If you want to divide almonds between lunchboxes in advance, check the weight of each inner pack. Albert Heijn lists an unsalted almond product as a ‘3-pack’, but that number alone doesn’t tell you how much is in each pack.
If you’re stocking up for several people, compare standard bags by net weight and how they can be stored. Jumbo lists a 140 g pack, while PLUS offers a 200 g stand-up pouch; with packs like these, you’ll need to portion the almonds yourself.
If you specifically want unsalted almonds, check the product name and product information. PLUS and Duyvis describe individual almond products as unsalted; the features of one variety don’t automatically apply to other products from the same brand.
First, decide whether you need ready-to-go individual packs or would rather portion the almonds yourself. Then check the variety and how to store an opened pack.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Packaging and portions | Check the number of inner packs, the weight of each pack and the total net weight. | If I prepare lunchboxes in advance, I want to know how many almonds I can portion out each time. Around 40% of consumers prioritise packaging that suits their portion-planning needs. |
| Stocking up and storage | Match the quantity to the number of people eating and check whether the pack is resealable. | When I’m using a supply over several lunches, I want to be able to store the rest properly. Around 30% of consumers focus on packs that can be divided up and sealed again after opening. |
| Ingredients and flavour | Check the exact variety and ingredients; ‘no added oil or fat’ doesn’t automatically mean ‘unsalted’. | If I’m looking for unsalted or savoury almonds, I compare the variety before choosing a pack size. Around 30% of consumers prioritise ingredients and flavour. |
A label such as ‘3-pack’ doesn’t tell you how many almonds are in each inner pack. The number of packs and the amount for each lunch are two different things.
Check the weight of each pack and the total net weight before adding the product to your lunch plan.
If there are no individual lunch packs, you may need to portion the almonds yourself or use storage containers.
Duyvis describes Almonds Original as oven-roasted with no added oil or fat, and also lists a separate unsalted variety. So the cooking method doesn’t automatically tell you how much salt the almonds contain.
Read the exact variety name and ingredients on the pack.
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing nuts in a dry place in a tightly sealed container. Jumbo also recommends storing the almonds it reviewed in a cool, dark, dry place.
Follow the storage instructions on your chosen pack and seal it properly after use, or use an airtight container.
If the pack isn’t sealed properly, the almonds may not keep as well for later and could go to waste.
The product descriptions include both unsalted almonds and an oven-roasted variety.

No. Duyvis uses the description ‘no added oil or fat’ for Almonds Original and lists Unsalted Almonds separately as unsalted. So check the exact variety and the ingredients information.
Check the allergen information for the exact variety before choosing it for someone with an allergy. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens must be clearly stated on the label. Dutch government information on food labelling also says that label information must be available in Dutch and online. ‘Unsalted’ is not an allergen claim.
