Who are these options for?

Guests who like to snack throughout the day

You want to take cashew nuts to a garden party and reseal the pack between snack breaks. Jumbo describes its 130 g pack as resealable and containing around five portions, so check the number of portions too, not just the size of the bag.

Hosts preparing portions for guests

You want to serve guests individual portions and can weigh them out in advance. Packs of 200–250 g, such as the PLUS and ALDI options mentioned, could be a useful starting point. Keep the original packaging with the portions so you can refer to the product information.

Snackers who prefer unsalted nuts

You’re looking for cashew nuts with no added salt. Bear in mind that unsalted, unroasted and no added oil are separate characteristics.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you want to snack from one pack on several occasions or prepare portions for your guests. Then choose according to how the nuts are prepared, and always check the information on the packaging.

What to consider What should you look for? Who is this most important for?
Taking portions with you Check the net weight, the stated number of portions and whether the pack is resealable. If you want to snack from the same bag while travelling and at the party, portioning matters more than simply choosing a small bag; around 38% of consumers prioritise portion convenience.
Choosing unsalted nuts Read the product name and ingredients; treat unsalted, unroasted and no added oil as separate characteristics. If you’re specifically looking for unsalted cashew nuts, don’t rely on the preparation method alone; around 23% of consumers prioritise this ingredient profile.
Sharing portions Check the total quantity and decide whether you want to weigh and pack the portions yourself. If you want to prepare small portions for several guests, weighing them out in advance can help you divide them up; around 23% of consumers prioritise this preparation.
Checking allergens Read the current ingredients list and any warnings about possible accidental presence. If you’re taking snacks for other people, you’ll want to know in advance which allergens are listed on the label; around 16% of consumers make this information their top priority when choosing.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a small pack contains one portion

    A compact bag can contain several portions. Jumbo lists around five portions for its 130 g pack.

    Check the portion information and, if needed, weigh out how much you want to take or share in advance.

  • Confusing no added oil with unsalted

    Duyvis describes Cashews Original as oven-roasted with no added oil; the shop variant reviewed is salted.

    Check the salt and ingredients separately from any claim about how the nuts are prepared.

  • Assuming different pack sizes contain the same product

    The Jumbo 130 g and 200 g packs reviewed differ in their percentage of ingredients. A different pack size doesn’t automatically mean the recipe is the same.

    Compare the product name, ingredients and quantity you need, rather than just the weight on the front of the pack.

  • Throwing away the original packaging after portioning

    The packaging contains product-specific details about ingredients, allergens, storage and shelf life.

    Keep the packaging with the portions you hand out so you can refer to the information.

Brands to consider

Duyvis

The Cashews Original range reviewed includes a 125 g oven-roasted option. Duyvis also describes Cashews Sea Salt as seasoned with coarsely ground sea salt.

  • Duyvis says Cashews Original is made without added oil.
  • Descriptions of flavour and crunch are brand claims, not independent test results. The shop variant reviewed is salted.

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn lists AH Unsalted Cashew Nuts.

  • The product listing confirms that an unsalted option is available.
  • Check the current packaging for ingredients and allergen information, as these details can change.

Jumbo

The own-brand range includes reviewed unsalted packs of 130 g and 200 g.

  • The 130 g pack is described as resealable and lists around five portions.
  • The pack sizes differ in their percentage of ingredients. The products reviewed list cashew nuts and may contain other nuts and peanuts.

Lidl

Lidl lists cashew nuts in its Alesto range and describes its Way To Go cashew nuts as Fairtrade.

  • Lidl lists Fairtrade as a feature of this product range.
  • That feature alone tells you nothing about individual portions or flavour.

ALDI

ALDI Netherlands lists TRADER JOE’S Roasted and Unsalted Cashew Nuts in a 250 g pack.

  • The preparation method, unsalted variety and weight are listed for this pack.
  • The features of this pack don’t necessarily apply to other sizes or varieties.

PLUS

PLUS lists 200 g of unsalted, unroasted cashew nuts, as well as a separate 200 g unsalted Fairtrade option.

  • The two listings offer different features to choose from.
  • Check the current packaging for details including ingredients, allergen information and origin.

Frequently asked questions

Is a 130 g pack one snack portion?

Not for Jumbo Unsalted Cashew Nuts 130 g: the product page lists around five portions and nutritional values per 25 g. This portion information applies to that product; it isn’t a recommended amount for every guest.

Are individually portioned cashew nuts suitable for someone with a cashew nut allergy?

No. Cashew nuts are still the allergen in question, even if you pack a small amount separately. Choose another snack for this guest and check its allergen information.

What should I do with the recalled ALDI cashew nuts?

Don’t eat TRADER JOE’S Unsalted Cashew Nuts 170 g with barcode 2003020120930 and best-before date 23-09-2026 if you still have this pack. The NVWA warning dated 20 May 2026 mentions possible metal fragments. The warning applies to this specific pack and doesn’t mean that all ALDI cashew nuts have been recalled.

How should you store an opened pack after the garden party?

Follow the storage instructions for your particular variety. Jumbo says to store its 130 g pack of unsalted cashew nuts in a cool, dry, dark place. The Voedingscentrum’s storage guide lists rancidity, a chewy texture and mould as signs of spoilage; this doesn’t guarantee that nuts left unprotected outdoors will stay fresh.

Can you simply give whole cashew nuts to young children?

Don’t assume that whole nuts are suitable for young children. The Jumbo pack reviewed warns that young children can choke on nuts. This product information doesn’t establish a universal age limit.
