A multipack is handy if you want to set out individual packs for different sharing occasions on Father’s Day, but check the weight of each bag too: a small bag isn’t automatically a small lunchbox portion. Packs of 200 to 500 g are also worth considering for a sharing bowl or if you want to weigh out portions yourself. Albert Heijn lists 3- and 6-packs, while Jumbo and ALDI list packs including 500 g options. Check the salt variant and ingredients on the exact pack.
You want to set out several packs for guests or different occasions, so you’re checking both the number of bags and how much each one contains. Albert Heijn lists cashew nuts in 3- and 6-packs; Foods & Goods describes a box of Duyvis cashew nuts containing ten 125 g bags.
You want to be able to pack any leftover cashew nuts for later, so you’re comparing the amount in each pack with the portion you want to put in a lunchbox. You may need to divide a multipack or larger bag into portions yourself.
You don’t mind weighing out portions and want an amount that works for sharing as well as using later. Jumbo lists a 500 g pack of unsalted cashew nuts; ALDI also lists 250 g and 500 g packs.
Start by thinking about how you want to serve the cashew nuts. Then check the quantity, ingredients and the needs of anyone who’ll be eating them.
Choose this if: you want to set out individual packs for Father’s Day. Albert Heijn lists an unsalted 6-pack and a salted 3-pack.
Consider: the pack description doesn’t say how many grams are in each individual pack, so check the current packaging.
Choose this if: you’re planning several sharing occasions or want a larger quantity of the same variant. Foods & Goods lists a box of Duyvis Dry Roasted Cashews containing ten 125 g bags.
Consider: at 125 g per bag, you’ll still need to divide the contents if you want to pack smaller individual portions.
Choose this if: you’re filling a sharing bowl or want to weigh out portions yourself. Jumbo lists a 500 g pack of unsalted cashew nuts; ALDI lists 500 g packs in salted and unsalted varieties.
Consider: these aren’t confirmed multipacks with individual lunchbox bags, and portioning them yourself takes a little preparation.
Choose this if: you want to buy a smaller quantity or portion it out yourself. PLUS and Lidl list 200 g packs of unsalted, unroasted cashew nuts; ALDI lists 250 g packs of roasted, unsalted cashew nuts.
Consider: these packs don’t automatically provide individual lunchbox portions either; check how the exact variant has been prepared.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Handing out individual bags | The number of individual packs and the weight of each bag. | If I want to set out bags for guests or different sharing occasions, I want to know how many there are and how much each contains. Around 28% of consumers prioritise handing out individual bags. |
| Lunchbox portions | The amount in each pack and whether you’ll need to weigh out portions yourself. | For a lunchbox, I want to be able to tailor the amount I pack, even if I have to portion it myself from a larger pack. Around 28% of consumers prioritise lunchbox portions. |
| Stock and cost | The total quantity, how you plan to use it and the price per kilo. | If I’ll still be using the stock after Father’s Day, I want to compare the quantity and price per kilo with how I plan to use it. For around 17% of consumers, stock and overall cost are the most important factors. |
| Flavour and salt | Whether the variant is salted, unsalted or seasoned in another way; check this separately from how it has been roasted. | If flavour is the deciding factor, I want to distinguish between salted, unsalted and seasoned cashew nuts, as well as how they have been prepared. Around 16% of consumers prioritise flavour and salt choice. |
| Who’ll be eating them | The ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant; take young children into account. | If someone eating them has an allergy, or there are young children, I want to check the ingredients and whether the nuts are suitable first. Around 11% of consumers prioritise this personal safety consideration. |
The Duyvis box described by Foods & Goods contains 125 g bags. So the number of bags doesn’t tell you how many smaller lunchbox portions you can make.
Check both the number of bags and the weight of each one, and decide in advance whether you want to share them or pack them individually.
How a product is prepared and whether it’s salted are two different things. The ingredients listed for the Duyvis box described here include salt in the savoury variant.
Check the ingredients and salt variant on the exact pack; don’t assume it’s unsalted because the label says ‘oven roasted’.
Joybuy’s product information for Duyvis Dry Roasted Mixed Nuts describes a mix containing cashew nuts, peanuts and almonds. This isn’t the same as a pack containing only cashew nuts.
Check the product name and ingredients, not just the brand or weight.

Compare the weight, barcode and best-before date with the warning. Don’t eat a pack that matches the warning exactly.

The Duyvis bags described by Foods & Goods contain 125 g each, so you’ll need to divide them up further for smaller portions.
No. Duyvis describes Cashews Original as oven-roasted without added oil, while the ingredients listed for the savoury box described here include salt. Check the preparation method and salt variant separately on the packaging.
Amsterdam UMC advises giving children under 4 nut butter instead of whole nuts because of the risk of choking. Older children can choke too; the advice is to eat calmly at the table and stay with them when they’re eating whole nuts. A small bag doesn’t remove that risk.
