When choosing almonds to take with you, focus on how much you want to bring, not just the size of the pack. According to Joybuy Netherlands, a 125 g pack of Duyvis Almonds Original contains multiple portions; Albert Heijn lists a serving size of 25 g for its 190 g pack of unsalted almonds. If you snack more often, you can measure out your own portions and check the ingredients and whether the packaging can be resealed.
You want to take a set amount of almonds with you without treating a multi-portion pack as one snack. Compare the pack weight, stated serving size and whether the portions are individually wrapped. Albert Heijn lists a serving size of 25 g for its 190 g pack of unsalted almonds.
You’re looking for unsalted almonds to keep in your snack cupboard and want to choose between roasted and unroasted. Check the ingredients too: unsalted doesn’t automatically mean the product contains only almonds. For example, Jumbo’s product information lists sunflower oil alongside almonds for its 140 g variant.
You’re preparing several snacks in advance and want packaging that can be sealed securely. ALDI describes its 200 g pack of unroasted almonds as resealable; a multi-portion pack like this is not the same as individually wrapped snack portions.
First, decide how much you want to take for each snack. Then compare the ingredients and how the almonds are prepared, and consider how you’ll store the rest if you’re buying a larger pack.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Amount per snack | Compare the net weight, serving size and whether portions are individually wrapped. AH lists 25 g as the serving size for a 190 g pack. | If you want to take a measured amount with you, check whether the pack contains individual portions. Around 36% of consumers with these purchasing priorities prioritise portion convenience. |
| Unsalted ingredients | Check the variant and ingredients list; unsalted and unroasted don’t mean the same thing. For its 140 g variant, Jumbo lists 99% almonds and sunflower oil. | If unsalted almonds and a simple ingredients list are your top priorities, compare the exact variant. Around 29% of consumers with these purchasing priorities prioritise ingredients. |
| Savoury flavour | Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant. Duyvis describes Almonds Original as oven-roasted without added oil or fat, but also lists salt in the seasoning mix. | If you’re specifically looking for a savoury roasted snack, check the salt and other ingredients too. Around 21% of consumers with these purchasing priorities prioritise savoury flavour. |
| Storing a larger pack | Check whether the packaging is explicitly described as resealable and follow the storage instructions. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing nuts in a dry place in a well-sealed container. | If you prepare several portions in advance, it’s useful to know how to seal and store the rest. Around 14% of consumers with these purchasing priorities prioritise managing their supplies. |
A pack may contain several portions. According to Albert Heijn, its 3-pack consists of three separate 190 g products; these aren’t three small, individually wrapped snack portions.
Check the weight of each product, the serving information and how the pack is divided up separately.
Duyvis says Almonds Original is oven-roasted without added oil or fat, but the seasoning mix contains salt.
Choose based on the exact variant and ingredients list, not just one description of how it’s prepared.
ALDI explicitly describes its pack as resealable. A stand-up pouch, such as the pack of PLUS almonds reviewed, doesn’t by itself prove that it can be resealed.
Look for an explicit statement that the pack is resealable and seal it securely after use.
If the original packaging can’t be resealed, you may need a separate airtight storage container.
According to the product information, the unsalted Jumbo variant reviewed also contains sunflower oil. The AH and PLUS variants reviewed list almond or almonds as an ingredient.

No. Albert Heijn lists 25 g as the serving size for the pack reviewed, and the Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 g as a reference for a handful of nuts. It’s not a legal requirement or individual dietary advice.
Store them in a dry place in a well-sealed container and follow the instructions on the packaging. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s Storage Guide recommends keeping opened unsalted almonds in a kitchen cupboard for six months. This is general advice, not a guarantee for every product or storage condition.
No, roasting doesn’t make almonds suitable for someone with an almond allergy. Stichting Voedselallergie says the allergen remains stable when heated. If you have a known or suspected allergy, discuss whether a product is suitable for you with your healthcare professional.
No, check the ingredients list for the exact variant. For the 140 g unsalted almonds reviewed, Jumbo’s product information also lists sunflower oil.
