Start by deciding how much you want to take for one snack break: a 125–200 g bag isn’t automatically a single portion, so divide it up in advance if you want a measured snack. Then choose between unsalted and salted, and compare the preparation method and allergen information for the exact variety. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, unsalted nuts are included in the Wheel of Five, while taste preferences and convenient packaging may also influence your choice.
