Oranje fans watching together
Want to put out enough almonds for everyone and save unopened packs for your next match night? Bear in mind that AH bundles contain individual packs, not small bags for sharing.
Who are these packs for?
Anyone filling lunchboxes and portioning at home
Want to use the same purchase for the match and later for lunchboxes? Compare the weight of each pack and portion larger packs yourself. ALDI describes a 200 g pack of Trader Joe's almonds as resealable.
Snackers who check flavour and ingredients
Looking for unsalted almonds, a savoury smoked flavour or a nut mix? Check the variety and ingredients on the pack. Duyvis Unsalted Walnut Mix contains walnuts, cashews and hazelnuts as well as almonds.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, compare the quantity and packaging with what you want to share during the match and what you’ll actually use afterwards.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who should prioritise this? |
|---|---|---|
| Enough to share | Check both the number of packs and the weight of each pack and the multipack as a whole. AH confirms that the multipacks we looked at are supplied as individual packs. | If I want enough to share across several match nights without buying more than we’ll use, I check the total quantity. Around 42% of consumers say having enough in stock to share is their main purchase priority. |
| Portioning yourself for lunchboxes | Check the weight of one pack and whether it’s resealable. A multipack of larger packs doesn’t automatically give you individual snack portions. | If I want to take smaller amounts with me after the match, I check whether I’m happy to portion them at home or can reseal the pack between uses. Around 33% of consumers put ease of portioning first. |
| Flavour and ingredients | Check whether the almonds are unsalted or salted, and read the ingredients if you’re looking for almonds only. A mix may contain other nuts too. | If I specifically want unsalted or salted almonds, or almonds only, I compare the exact variety and ingredients. Around 25% of consumers give ingredients and flavour top priority. |
Common pitfalls
-
Assuming the number of packs in a multipack equals the number of snack portions
The AH bundles we looked at contain individual packs of 175 g, 190 g or 450 g; these aren’t small single-serving bags.
Check the weight of each pack before choosing a bundle to share or use for lunchboxes.
-
Choosing a nut mix when you’re looking for almonds only
Duyvis Unsalted Walnut Mix also contains walnuts, cashews and hazelnuts. The portion size doesn’t change what’s in the mix.
Check which types of nuts it contains, and choose the mix only if you want that combination.
-
Assuming oven-roasted means unsalted
Duyvis describes Almonds Original as roasted without added oil or fat. That description of how they’re prepared doesn’t in itself mean the almonds are unsalted.
Check the variety name, ingredients and salt content separately.
-
Choosing a large multipack without planning how you’ll use the rest
The AH bundle of six 450 g packs contains 2,700 g in total; the bundle of six 190 g packs contains 1,140 g. So the same number of packs can add up to a very different total quantity.
Choose a quantity that works for both match night and the occasions you’ll eat them afterwards.
Brands and packs for reference
Albert Heijn
The AH bundles mentioned contain individual packs of almonds in different weights and varieties.
- AH lists six 190 g packs in its unsalted 6-pack and six 450 g packs in its unroasted 6-pack.
- These are multipacks for stocking up, not small lunchbox bags. The AH smoked-flavour product is salted; the stated salt content of 1.2 g per 100 g applies to that specific variety.
Duyvis
Duyvis describes both a single pack of Almonds Original and portion packs of an unsalted nut mix.
- Duyvis describes Almonds Original as a 125 g pack.
- Duyvis says Almonds Original is roasted without added oil or fat; this doesn’t prove that the product is unsalted. Unsalted Walnut Mix contains several types of nuts, so it isn’t almonds only.
Jumbo
Jumbo offers a relevant single-pack option: 140 g of unsalted almonds.
- The product page explicitly identifies the variety as unsalted and recommends storing it in a cool, dark place.
- This is a single pack; the product information doesn’t confirm that it’s a multipack or resealable.
Lidl
Lidl presents Alesto as a range that includes nuts and party snacks.
- The Alesto range is a reference point for almonds within the stated store selection.
- The general brand description doesn’t specify the number of snack bags or the multipack weight for almonds.
ALDI
ALDI lists a single pack of unroasted Trader Joe's almonds.
- The Dutch product page lists 200 g of untreated almonds in a resealable pack.
- This is a single pack to portion yourself, not a product confirmed to contain individual snack bags.
PLUS
PLUS lists a 200 g stand-up pouch of unroasted, unsalted almonds.
- The product page confirms the variety and weight.
- The term ‘stand-up pouch’ doesn’t in itself confirm that the pack is resealable or contains individual portions.

Frequently asked questions
Does a 6-pack mean I’ll get six lunchbox portions?
Not with the AH bundles mentioned: the unsalted 6-pack contains six individual 190 g packs, while the unroasted 6-pack contains six 450 g packs. You’ll need to portion them yourself for smaller lunchbox servings.
How should I store opened almonds after the match?
Seal the pack well and store the almonds somewhere dry. The Voedingscentrum recommends storing nuts in a cool place where possible. For the AH smoked-flavour product mentioned, the advice is to store it in a cool, dark, dry place; also follow the storage instructions on your pack.
Are whole almonds suitable for a lunchbox for a child under four?
According to MDL Fonds, whole nuts aren’t safe for children under four because of the risk of choking. The Voedingscentrum also warns against giving whole nuts to young children; a smaller pack size doesn’t change this.
What allergen information should I check on a Dutch label?
Check the ingredients list and any warnings on the current packaging. The NVWA states that allergens required by law must be listed in the ingredients and clearly identifiable; almonds are classed as tree nuts.
Does the NVWA now check warnings about possible cross-contamination?
Yes. Since 1 January 2026, the NVWA has checked whether prepacked products carry the correct warnings about possible cross-contamination with allergens. Such a precautionary warning doesn’t replace the declaration of almonds when they’re used as an ingredient.
