Choose individually sealed bags if you want to give each traveller or lunchbox its own pack. If you’re happy to portion them yourself, a standard bag is another option. Check how many grams it contains and whether you can reseal it after opening. A stated number of portions doesn’t mean the contents come in individual bags.
You want to divide almonds between several lunchboxes in advance and are choosing between weighing out portions yourself and buying genuinely individually wrapped bags. The difference between a resealable bag and a multipack determines how much preparation you’ll need to do.
You’re buying for several travellers and want to know how many packs you can hand out, and whether everyone will get plain almonds. The number of portions stated on one bag isn’t the same as the number of individual bags.
You take unsalted almonds on several train journeys and want to be able to reseal the pack between trips. Follow the storage instructions for the variety you choose.
Choose this if: you want to give each traveller or lunchbox its own pack.
Bear in mind: check the number of bags and the contents of each one; a stated number of portions alone doesn’t confirm that they’re individually packed.
Choose this if: you can weigh out portions at home or want to take some from the same pack on several journeys.
Bear in mind: you’ll need to organise the portions and suitable containers yourself; a resealable bag isn’t a multipack.
Choose this if: you want to take several individual packs for a group of travellers.
Bear in mind: separate bags don’t make up a manufacturer’s multipack; compare the contents of each bag.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who should prioritise this? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual packs | Check the actual number of sealed bags and the weight of each one. | If I’m filling lunchboxes for several travellers, I want to be able to give each person their own bag. Around 37% of consumers prioritise handing out individual packs. |
| Portioning and resealing | Check how many grams the bag contains and whether it can be resealed after opening. | When I’m preparing almonds for different journeys, I want to be able to weigh out portions and seal the rest properly. Around 27% of consumers give this top priority. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information; a nut mix isn’t the same as plain almonds. | If I’m looking specifically for almonds or need to take allergens into account, I check the packaging first. Around 18% of consumers say ingredients are the deciding factor. |
| Total quantity | Compare the number of packs and the weight of each one with what you need for your group of travellers. | For a group of travellers, I want to be able to estimate in advance how many almonds we’ll be taking altogether. Around 18% of consumers prioritise the total quantity. |
A mix contains other ingredients too. The historic AH Notenmix kvp contained 20% almonds; the Duyvis Tree Nuts pack described by bol contained 24%.
Read the ingredients and check the proportion of almonds before comparing packs.
The product description for a 125 g Duyvis pack states that it contains 4–5 portions. That doesn’t mean you’ll get 4–5 sealed bags.
Check the number of packs, the weight per pack and the stated number of portions separately.
AH Notenmix kvp, which came in three 40 g bags, is listed as discontinued. It’s therefore neither a current recommendation nor proof that a multipack of plain almonds is available.
Use this kind of product listing only as an example of a pack format, and check the current product information before choosing.

The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergen information must appear on pre-packed products. Since 1 January 2026, the NVWA has also been checking that warnings about cross-contamination are correct during inspections. Check the label on the specific pack; this information doesn’t guarantee that a product is suitable for someone with an allergy.
No. Albert Heijn’s product information warns that young children can choke on nuts. Choosing a smaller pack doesn’t remove that risk.
