If you want a small snack with your lunch sandwich, check the number of portions rather than just the pack size. The product description for Duyvis Cashews Sea Salt 125 g lists 4–5 portions, so the whole pack doesn’t automatically count as one lunch portion. If you regularly take nuts with you, measuring out your own unsalted portion is another option, in line with the Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s advice to eat a handful of unsalted nuts each day.
You want to take a manageable amount of cashew nuts with you when you’re out and about, so it’s worth distinguishing between a small pack and a single portion. Joybuy’s product description lists 4–5 portions for Duyvis Cashews Sea Salt 125 g.
You often take nuts with you for lunch and would rather choose an unsalted option than buy ready-portioned snack bags. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends eating a handful of unsalted nuts each day and varying the types you eat.
You choose based on preparation or flavour and want to distinguish roasted, unsalted cashew nuts from a sea-salted variety. ALDI lists roasted, unsalted cashew nuts, while Duyvis offers a sea-salted variety.
First, decide whether you need individually packed portions or would rather measure out your own. Then compare the salt content, preparation and total pack size.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Taking one portion with you | Check the net weight, the stated number of portions and whether the portions are individually wrapped. | I want to take one measured snack with my sandwich, without treating the whole pack as a single portion. Around 36% of consumers prioritise portion convenience when making this choice. |
| Choosing unsalted | Read the exact variety on the pack; “unsalted” alone doesn’t tell you how the nuts have been prepared. | I take nuts with me regularly and want to choose an unsalted option, even if I have to measure out a portion myself. Around 29% of consumers prioritise an unsalted option. |
| Flavour and preparation | Check whether the cashew nuts are roasted, unroasted or sea-salted. | I choose mainly on flavour or preparation and don’t want to confuse the two. Around 21% of consumers prioritise flavour and preparation. |
| Several lunchtime snacks | Choose a pack size that suits how much you’ll take with you, and follow the storage instructions on the pack. | I want to spread a pack over several lunches and avoid leftovers. Around 14% of consumers prioritise repeated use and avoiding leftovers. |
The product description for Duyvis Cashews Sea Salt 125 g lists 4–5 portions. So the net weight of the pack isn’t the same as one snack portion.
Check both the weight and the number of portions, and make sure the pack really contains individually wrapped portions.
ALDI’s variety is described as roasted and unsalted, while Duyvis offers a sea-salted variety. Preparation and salt content are separate features.
Check both details in the exact product name and on the current packaging.
A pack for several lunches means measuring out portions yourself and storing the rest. Cashew nuts that aren’t used in time may end up going to waste.
Choose a pack size that suits how often you take cashew nuts with you, measure out your lunch portion in advance and follow the storage instructions on the pack.
If you don’t eat them often, some of a larger opened pack may go unused.
