Choose a smaller pack if you want to limit the total amount, but don’t assume that 125 or 130 g is automatically a single snack portion. For several snack breaks, you can portion out a larger bag yourself, as long as you can store the opened nuts according to the label. Choose salted or unsalted to suit your preference; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends eating a handful of unsalted nuts each day.
You don’t want to take your entire supply on a walk, car journey or other outing. Jumbo and Duyvis offer examples of retail packs weighing 130 and 125 g respectively; these are not automatically individual portions.
You buy a supply and divide it between several snack breaks. Jumbo lists unsalted packs of 200 and 500 g; choose an amount you can store in line with the storage instructions.
You want unsalted cashew nuts even when you’re out and about. Then compare how they’re prepared and the pack size: PLUS lists an unroasted option of 200 g, while ALDI offers a roasted, unsalted option of 250 g.
Choose this if: you want to take less with you for a limited number of snack breaks.
Bear in mind: even with a smaller bag, you’ll need to decide how much to eat each time.
Choose this if: you want to divide one larger pack between several days or people.
Bear in mind: you’ll need to portion it out in advance and store the opened supply according to the label.
| What to consider | What should you look for? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Portion per snack break | Check the net weight and whether the pack actually contains individual inner bags. | If I only want to take a small amount with me, I look at both the pack size and how it’s divided. Around 31% of consumers put portioning first. |
| Storage after opening | Read the storage advice for the exact pack and bear heat, moisture and sunlight in mind. | If I open a bag to use over several days, I want to be able to store the rest according to the label. Around 25% of consumers put storage first. |
| Salted or unsalted | Check the product name and ingredients; roasting without oil doesn’t tell you whether the nuts are unsalted. | If I’m choosing an unsalted snack or want a savoury flavour, I compare the salt content and preparation separately. Around 19% of consumers put this choice first. |
| How much to buy | Match the net weight to the number of planned snack breaks and what you can store. | If I’m buying for several snack breaks, I don’t want to take a supply that I can’t store properly. Around 13% of consumers put the amount they’ll use first. |
| Label and suitability | Check the allergen information and any warnings on the exact pack. | If I’m taking food for different people, I check the label and warnings first. Around 12% of consumers put suitability for those eating the food first. |
Net weight doesn’t tell you how many individual portions or inner packs are inside. The Joybuy product page for Duyvis 125 g describes 4–5 portions, not 4–5 separate bags.
Check the portion information and any inner packs separately. Decide in advance how much you want to take for each snack break.
A larger bag gives you more to snack on, but you’ll also need to portion it out and store it appropriately.
Choose a pack that suits the number of snack breaks and the amount you can store after opening according to the label.
The preparation method alone doesn’t tell you whether salt has been added. Duyvis describes Cashews Original as oven-roasted without added oil; the Jumbo product listing for Duyvis Oven Roasted says the variant is salted.
Check the product name and ingredients list on the pack.
Storage instructions apply to the specific pack. For its 130 g pack, Jumbo says to store in a cool, dry, dark place; that doesn’t guarantee that a warm tent is suitable for storing an opened supply.
Follow the label for the exact variant, and don’t take more opened product than you can store in those conditions.
An option if you’re looking for a savoury cashew snack. Duyvis describes Cashews Original as oven-roasted without added oil.
The product listing is for AH Unsalted Cashew Nuts.
The product information lists unsalted cashew nuts in a range of pack sizes.
Lidl Netherlands’ product listing is for unsalted cashew nuts.
According to the product information, Trader Joe's offers roasted, unsalted cashew nuts in a 250 g pack.
The product listing is for unsalted, unroasted cashew nuts in a 200 g bag.
These Joybuy product options suit different snack breaks on the go, from a smaller pack to unsalted cashew nuts you can portion out yourself.

An option for snack breaks on the go if a 160 g pack suits the amount you have planned.
The product information lists 100% cashew kernels and advises storing in a cool, dry place, away from high temperatures and direct sunlight, and sealing the pack after opening. Contains cashew.
No image available
A smaller retail pack if you want to take less with you; the product information describes 4–5 portions, not separate inner bags.
The product information says the cashews are oven-roasted without added oil, and salt is listed among the ingredients. So this isn’t an unsalted variant. After opening, seal tightly and protect from heat, sunlight and moisture. Contains cashew nuts.
No image available
An option if you’re looking for a 150 g pack of salted cashews for snack breaks.
The product information lists roasted, salted cashew nuts with sunflower oil. Store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight, heat and moisture; seal the pack tightly after opening. Contains cashew.
No image available
An option if you want to portion roasted, unsalted cashew nuts out for several snack breaks.
The product title lists 200 g. The product information states 0.067 g of salt per 100 g and advises storing in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight, heat and moisture, and sealing tightly after opening. Contains cashew.
No image available
An option if you’re looking for a smaller pack of salted cashew nuts for a snack break.
The product information lists 120 g and advises storing in a cool, dry place and consuming as soon as possible after opening. Contains cashew nuts.
Not necessarily: net weight and portion information are different things. The Joybuy product page describes the 125 g Duyvis pack as 4–5 portions, but doesn’t mention separate inner bags.
Follow the label on the exact pack. For its 130 g pack, Jumbo says to store it in a cool, dry, dark place; the Duyvis product information advises sealing tightly after opening and protecting it from heat, sunlight and moisture. This doesn’t give a fixed storage period for a warm tent.
You can’t tell from the preparation method alone. Duyvis describes Cashews Original as oven-roasted without added oil, while the Jumbo product listing explicitly describes Duyvis Oven Roasted as salted. Check the ingredients for the exact variant.
Consider the risk posed by whole nuts separately; a convenient pack doesn’t automatically make a nut suitable for a young child. Jumbo’s 130 g cashew nut pack carries a choking warning, and the Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises caution with whole nuts.
The NVWA warning dated 20 May 2026 concerns Trader Joe's unsalted cashew nuts, 170 g, with barcode 2003020120930 and best-before date 23-09-2026. Do not eat that specific pack. The warning doesn’t automatically apply to all ALDI cashew nuts.
