Which option is right for you?

Taking a small snack with you

Looking for a small amount to take with you rather than a whole large bag? Check the contents of each individual bag, or weigh out a portion yourself in advance. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 g as a reference amount for a handful of unsalted nuts.

Choosing unsalted almonds

If you want an unsalted option, check the product name, ingredients and salt information. Jumbo and PLUS product pages list unsalted almonds; these packs are designed for you to portion out yourself.

Snacking from the same bag more than once

If you plan to take a small amount with you on different occasions, check whether the pack is explicitly resealable and follow the storage instructions. ALDI lists resealable packaging for the almond varieties described.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide how much you want to take for this snack break. Then choose your preferred flavour and check how to store the rest.

What to consider What to look for Who is this important for?
A small snack portion Check the contents of each bag and weigh out a portion yourself if needed. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s 25 g is a reference amount, not a recommendation. If I only want to take a small amount with me, I check how much I’ll have for each snack break. An estimated 36% of consumers prioritise convenient portions.
Choosing unsalted Read the exact variant name, ingredients list and salt information; roasted does not automatically mean unsalted. If I’m mainly looking for an unsalted option, I check the label before considering the pack size. An estimated 29% of consumers prioritise unsalted products.
Roasted or savoury Check whether the variant is unroasted, roasted, salted or smoked. The manufacturer describes Duyvis Almonds Original as oven-roasted without added oil or fat. If I’m specifically looking for a roasted or savoury flavour, I want to be able to identify the exact variant. An estimated 21% of consumers prioritise flavour.
Storage and reuse Check whether the pack is resealable and follow the storage instructions. Only compare costs on the same weight basis. If I want to use the rest later, I consider storage and the amount in each pack. An estimated 14% of consumers prioritise repeated use and cost.

Common mistakes

  • Mistaking a large bag for one snack portion

    125 g, 140 g and 150 g packs contain more than one 25 g amount. So the weight of the bag alone won’t tell you how much to take for one snack break.

    Compare the amount per snack break and weigh it out in advance if you want a small portion.

  • Confusing no added fat with unsalted

    Duyvis’s product description says the almonds are oven-roasted without added oil or fat. This alone doesn’t tell you whether a variant is salted.

    Consider the preparation method and salt variant separately, and read the information on the pack.

  • Choosing a nut mix when you only want almonds

    A portion pack may contain a mix of different nuts. According to the manufacturer, Duyvis Unsalted Nutmix Walnut contains 35% almonds, so it isn’t a bag of almonds alone.

    Check the ingredients list before letting the convenience of the packaging influence your choice.

  • Assuming a stand-up pouch or multipack is resealable or a single portion

    A label such as ‘stand-up pouch’ or ‘4-pack’ doesn’t automatically confirm that the packaging is resealable or that each bag contains one small snack portion.

    Look for separate information about the closure, the number of bags and the contents of each bag.

    If the pack isn’t resealable, you may need a separate storage container for the rest.

Brands to consider

Duyvis

Duyvis Almonds Original is an oven-roasted almond variety in a 125 g pack.

  • Duyvis states that no oil or fat is added during preparation.
  • This describes the preparation method and isn’t an independent assessment of the flavour. The Unsalted Nutmix Walnut portion packs reviewed also contain other nuts.

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn has product pages for unsalted almonds and for smoked-flavour salted almonds in a 4-pack.

  • The product names make it easy to distinguish between different flavours.
  • The ‘4-pack’ label doesn’t state the contents of each individual bag.

Jumbo

Jumbo Unsalted Almonds 140 g is an unsalted option that you can portion out yourself.

  • Jumbo lists a net weight of 140 g and recommends storing the almonds in a cool, dry, dark place.
  • The pack isn’t divided into individual small snack portions.

Lidl

Lidl has a product page for unsalted almonds and a separate general almond product in a 200 g pack.

  • The product pages give you different details to help check which variant you’re looking at.
  • The 200 g weight applies to the general almond product page and not necessarily to the unsalted variant. The product information doesn’t confirm current local stock or whether the pack is resealable.

ALDI

ALDI’s product information lists unroasted almonds and roasted salted or smoked-flavour varieties under the Trader Joe’s range name.

  • ALDI lists resealable packaging; the roasted varieties are specified as 200 g.
  • A resealable pack isn’t automatically a single portion.

PLUS

PLUS Unsalted Almonds 150 g is an unsalted pack that you can portion out yourself.

  • The product name lists a net weight of 150 g.
  • The ‘stand-up pouch’ label doesn’t confirm that the pack is resealable or contains individual portions.

Frequently asked questions

Is 25 g a fixed snack portion?

No. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 g as the amount for a handful of unsalted nuts. You can use this to compare packs and portions you’ve weighed out yourself; it isn’t a required amount to take with you.

How should I store the almonds I’m not taking with me?

Follow the storage instructions on the pack you have. For the unsalted almonds reviewed, Jumbo recommends storing them in a cool, dry, dark place; ALDI lists resealable packaging for the almond products described.

What information about ingredients and allergens must be available online?

For food sold on the Dutch market, the mandatory label information must be available in Dutch, including online. Under EU labelling rules, allergens must be clearly highlighted in the ingredients list; any exceptions to providing an ingredients list depend on the product.

Do portion packs of almonds always contain almonds only?

No. Duyvis Unsalted Nutmix Walnut is a nut mix containing almonds, walnuts, cashews and hazelnuts, among other nuts. Duyvis lists 35% almonds; check the ingredients if you want almonds only.

What applies to warnings about cross-contamination with allergens?

The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) states that from 1 January 2026, inspections will check that pre-packed products carry the correct warnings about allergen cross-contamination. So check the current packaging, and don’t assume older product descriptions reflect the information on the current pack.
