Want to take one clearly portioned snack with you? Choose an unsalted pack and measure out your portion in advance. Jumbo says its resealable 130 g pack contains around five portions. So a compact multi-portion pack isn’t automatically a single serving, and a ready-to-go multipack should contain individually wrapped bags. If you’re after a savoury, roasted flavour, Duyvis Cashews Original is another option, but it contains salt.
You want to know in advance how much you’ll eat during a work break. Check the amount in each individual bag, or take a portion you’ve measured out yourself. Jumbo says its resealable 130 g pack contains around five portions.
You’re looking for unsalted cashew nuts and want to compare how they’re prepared and what they contain. PLUS offers an unroasted variety made with cashew nuts alone, as well as a roasted Fairtrade variety with sunflower oil.
If you’re sharing an office snack supply, you want to keep the ingredients and allergen information for each pack easy to identify. Cashew nuts are an allergen, so check for warnings about other nuts or peanuts too.

Keep in mind: check that the product really does contain individual bags. The AH Cashewnoten kvp pack of 3 x 40 g is listed as discontinued.
Best if: you want a resealable pack from which you can measure out several portions. Jumbo says its 130 g pack contains around five portions.

Keep in mind: Duyvis says its cashews are roasted without added oil, but the seasoning mix contains salt. You’ll still need to portion out the pack.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| A clearly defined portion to take with you | Check the amount in each bag, how many individual bags there are, and whether a larger pack is resealable. Jumbo says its 130 g pack contains around five portions; the AH multipack of 3 x 40 g is listed as discontinued. | If you want to take a measured amount for one work break, portion convenience is your first consideration. Around 31% of consumers put this need first. |
| Unsalted ingredients | Read the ingredients and salt information; don’t assume a product is ‘unsalted’ just because it’s described as ‘roasted’ or ‘without added oil’. | If you want to snack on unsalted cashew nuts regularly, compare the ingredients and preparation method on the label. Around 25% of consumers prioritise this need. |
| A supply for several breaks | Compare the net weight and check whether you can reseal the pack properly after opening and store it in a dry place. | If you stock up on cashew nuts for several visits to the office and portion them out yourself, a larger pack can be practical. Around 19% of consumers put this need first. |
| Savoury flavour and preparation | Check the exact variety, seasoning mix, oil and salt; don’t rely only on the preparation claim on the front of the pack. | If you’re after a savoury, roasted snack for your break, check which ingredients have been added to the cashew nuts. Around 13% of consumers prioritise this flavour preference. |
| Clear allergen information | Keep the original ingredients and allergen information with the pack, and check the product, batch and best-before date if there’s a safety warning. | If colleagues are taking snacks from the same supply, they should be able to check the product and allergen information. Around 12% of consumers prioritise sharing food safely. |
