For a school lunch each day, you could choose an unsalted multipack with an inner pack size that suits the amount you plan to take, or a larger bag that you can portion out yourself. The Voedingscentrum lists unsalted nuts as a snack option for teenagers. A box of 10 × 125 g contains individual bags for stocking up: Kantinewinkel.nl describes one such bag as around four portions, while Albert Heijn’s 4-pack label alone doesn’t tell you the weight of each inner pack. Remember to check the allergen information and your school’s rules too.
If you want to pack unsalted cashew nuts for a school lunch, check the weight of each inner pack and how much you plan to take. The Voedingscentrum lists unsalted nuts as a snack option for teenagers; Albert Heijn offers an unsalted 4-pack.
If you want to decide at home how much to put in each lunchbox, a larger bag could be a good option. Jumbo lists unsalted packs of 200 and 500 grams, PLUS has a 200-gram bag that is unsalted and unroasted, and ALDI offers 250-gram roasted, unsalted cashew nuts.
If you want several bags for planned sharing, first check whether cashew nuts are suitable for the school’s rules and the people receiving them. Foods & Goods and Kantinewinkel.nl list a box of ten 125-gram bags of Duyvis; Kantinewinkel.nl describes one bag as around four portions.
Compare the pack weight with the amount you want to take. Also check the product type, allergen information and how to store the rest.
