Choose based on the number of individually sealed packs and the amount in each one, not just the word ‘multipack’. The Duyvis boxes of ten 125g bags are multipacks, but they aren’t automatically small enough for lunchboxes. Also consider salt, allergens and your travel plans.
If you want to share several sealed packs between travel companions or different parts of your journey, compare both the number of bags and the amount in each one. Foods & Goods describes the Duyvis boxes as containing ten 125g bags.
If you decide how many cashews to put in each lunchbox yourself, a larger pack can be useful, but you’ll need to portion it out. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre also warns against giving whole nuts to young children because of the risk of choking.
If you want to pick something up just before you leave, consider not only the shop but also the pack size you need. Schiphol lists Albert Heijn stores, but that doesn’t confirm whether a specific cashew multipack is in stock.
First decide whether you need sealed individual packs or would rather portion the nuts out yourself. Then check the ingredients and consider what will work best for your journey.
| What to consider | What should you look for? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual packs | Check how many sealed inner packs there are and the weight of each bag; a bulk pack isn’t the same as a box of individual bags. | If I want to share bags between travel companions or lunchboxes, I need to know how many sealed bags there are and how many grams each contains. Around 36% of consumers rank sharing as their top purchase priority. |
| Salt and ingredients | Read the ingredients and check the salt content per 100g. Consider salt, oil and added flavourings separately. | If I plan to eat cashews regularly, I check whether unsalted cashews suit my preference and what else is in the pack. Around 29% of consumers give ingredients top priority. |
| Stocking up and ordering | Compare the total quantity and number of bags. When ordering online, check the terms and estimated delivery time against your departure date. | If I’m stocking up for several trips, I want to match the quantity to my plans and know whether my order will arrive in time. Around 21% of consumers prioritise quantity and ease of ordering. |
| Taking along and sharing | Check the label for allergens and consider the eating situation. Whole nuts require extra care around young children. | If I’m taking nuts for other people, I want to check the label and share them safely, for example when young children are travelling with us. Around 14% of consumers make portability and safe use their top priority. |
A different pack doesn’t change the texture of whole nuts. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre warns that nuts can cause choking in children.
Consider the food’s texture and the eating situation first, then look at how convenient the packaging is.
The Duyvis boxes reviewed contain ten 125g bags. The number of bags doesn’t tell you what would be a suitable portion for one person.
Look at the number of bags and the weight of each bag as two separate details.
Smaller portions may take extra preparation, such as dividing the contents into containers yourself.
According to the seller, the Duyvis Dry Roasted box reviewed is roasted without added oil, but contains 0.92g of salt per 100g.
Check the preparation method and salt content separately: dry-roasted doesn’t automatically mean unsalted.

A good fit if you’re looking for one pack of roasted, unsalted cashews and want to portion them out yourself.
The title states that they are roasted and unsalted, and that the pack contains 200g.

A good fit if you want to take a ready-to-eat bag of cashews to share; the suggested portions come from the same pack.
The bag contains 125g and is described as 4–5 portions. Cashews make up 98% of the contents; the salt content is 0.92g per 100g.
Whole cashews aren’t liquids, gels, creams or pastes. The Dutch government’s 100ml rule applies to liquids and gels; nut butter falls into a different category because it’s a paste. If in doubt, also check the latest guidance from your carrier.
Schiphol lists one large Albert Heijn store and two to-go locations on Plaza. This confirms that the shops are there, but not which products they stock or whether a specific cashew multipack is available.
Store nuts in a cool, dry place in a sealed container, and follow the instructions on your pack. General storage advice can’t guarantee how long an opened or repacked portion will stay fresh.
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre warns that whole nuts can cause choking. Consider the food’s texture and the eating situation separately from the convenience of a small bag.
According to the NVWA, allergen information for pre-packed products must appear on the label. Keep the original label available if you divide cashews from a larger pack into smaller portions.
