Choose based on how many snack occasions you have in mind, the number of individual packs and the amount in each one – not just the word ‘multipack’. Also check which salt option you want, read the current label and consider how much you’ll actually use.
Want to open a separate bag on different evenings to share? Check both the number of bags and the amount in each one. Retailer listings describe Duyvis boxes containing 10 bags of 125 grams. That’s a supply for several occasions, not automatically a small portion per person.
If you want to take nuts with you or pack them for someone else, check that the amount in each pack suits your needs and look at the salt option. According to the MDL Fonds, whole nuts are not suitable for children under four because of the risk of choking; a small bag doesn’t change that.
A larger bag could work if you want to weigh the nuts out at home and divide them between several snack occasions. Jumbo, ALDI and PLUS list larger or individual packs, among other options. Check the current net weight and seal opened packs securely.
First, think about how many snack occasions you want to cater for and whether you need a separate bag for each one. Then compare the amount in each pack, the salt option and the total quantity.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Amount per bag | Check both the number of individual packs and the weight of each bag; don’t assume there’s a standard portion size. | If you want to hand out or take individual bags with you, the number alone isn’t enough; around 33% of consumers prioritise individual packs. |
| Salt and ingredients | Check the salt option and the ingredients and allergen information on the current pack. | If you’re specifically looking for unsalted nuts or need to consider allergens, pay close attention to the product information; around 25% of consumers prioritise the salt option and ingredients. |
| Total quantity | Add up the contents of all the bags and compare the total with the snack occasions you have planned. | If you don’t want to buy more than you expect to use, the total net weight can help you decide; around 25% of consumers prioritise buying an amount that suits their needs. |
| Storing after opening | Check the storage instructions and consider how much you’ll open at a time. | If you’ll use the supply over several occasions, you’ll want to be able to seal and store opened nuts properly; around 17% of consumers prioritise using their nuts over several occasions and storing them well. |
The Duyvis bags listed contain 125 grams. So the number of bags doesn’t tell you how many small lunchbox portions you’ll get.
Check the weight of each individual pack and decide for yourself what amount suits the occasion.
The Duyvis Dry Roasted box listed is salted. A description of how nuts are roasted, or whether oil is used, doesn’t tell you which salt option you’re buying.
Check the salt option and ingredients on the current label, separately from the preparation method.
A smaller pack doesn’t remove the choking risk posed by whole nuts for children under four. Allergens are also still relevant, whatever the pack size.
Consider the age of the person you’re buying for and, if they have a relevant allergy, check the current product information.
A box of 10 bags of 125 grams contains 1,250 grams in total. That could be more than you need for one night in, and opened nuts need to be stored carefully.
Check the total quantity and follow the storage instructions on the pack after opening.
