A large pack is a good choice if you eat cashew nuts regularly or share your supplies, and the price per kilo compares favourably with a similar smaller pack. If you only eat them occasionally, a smaller bag may better suit how much you get through. Also check whether they’re salted and how to store an opened pack. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends unsalted nuts and a varied diet, so enjoy cashew nuts as part of a varied lunch.
If you often take cashew nuts to eat at your desk or share your supplies at home, compare the price per kilo of similar products. Jumbo lists unsalted packs in both 500 g and 200 g sizes; a larger pack isn’t automatically better value.
If you want unsalted cashew nuts, check how they’re prepared and what the ingredients are, too. Dutch product information from ALDI and PLUS shows that unsalted cashew nuts are available both roasted and unroasted.
If you don’t eat cashew nuts every working day, choose a quantity that suits how much you use. ALDI lists a 250 g pack, while PLUS lists a 200 g pack of unsalted, unroasted cashew nuts. Follow the storage advice on the label.
First, choose the salt level and preparation method you’re looking for. Then compare only products that match, and choose a weight that suits how much you expect to use and how you can store it.

Weight alone doesn’t tell you whether a pack is better value. The 250 g ALDI pack and 200 g PLUS pack also differ in how the nuts are prepared.

These are separate characteristics. The ALDI cashew nuts reviewed are roasted and unsalted, while the PLUS product is unroasted and unsalted. Duyvis describes Cashews Original as made without added oil, while the Duyvis retail product listed is salted.
Check the salt level, preparation method and ingredients separately before you choose.
How you seal an opened pack can affect how well the nuts keep. Noten.nl recommends storing its own products in an airtight container in a cool, dark place; this isn’t a fixed storage period for other brands.
Follow the label and make sure you can seal the opened pack properly.
The Duyvis nut mix listed by Joybuy also contains peanuts and almonds, as well as cashew nuts. Its product identity and allergens are therefore different from those of a pack containing only cashew nuts.
Check the full product name and ingredients. A matching brand name alone doesn’t prove it’s the same product.

It’s best to enjoy cashew nuts as part of a varied lunch. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre suggests options including bread, wholemeal wraps, salad and soup, and emphasises variety. Its advice on unsalted nuts isn’t a recommendation to eat nuts alone for lunch.
Follow the storage advice on the packaging for your product. Noten.nl recommends storing its own products in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. This is a practical storage suggestion, not a fixed shelf life for other brands.
No, these are different characteristics. Duyvis describes Cashews Original as made without added oil, while the Dutch retail product listed is labelled as salted. Check the salt level, oil and preparation method separately.
Always check the current label on pre-packed products. The NVWA says allergen information must appear on the label; Business.gov.nl says label information must be available in Dutch and online. Don’t assume cashew nuts are a safe general choice for someone with a nut allergy.
No. The NVWA warning issued on 20 May 2026 concerns 170 g packs of Trader Joe’s unsalted cashew nuts with barcode 2003020120930 and a best-before date of 23 September 2026, due to possible metal particles. Do not eat a pack with this identification. The warning doesn’t automatically apply to other weights or batches.
