When you’re out and about, what matters most is the amount in each individual pack: a bag or multipack doesn’t automatically equal one snack portion. For an everyday snack, unsalted is a good starting point. If you choose a larger bag, you’ll need to weigh out a portion yourself and seal the rest properly. Albert Heijn lists Duyvis Oven roasted salted 125 g as containing 4–5 portions per pack.
You want to be able to grab something from your cupboard without treating a bag containing several portions as a single snack. Compare the amount in each pack with the stated serving size. For example, Albert Heijn lists Duyvis Oven roasted salted as containing 4–5 portions.
For an everyday snack, you prefer unsalted nuts to a savoury coating. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre includes unsalted nuts in the Wheel of Five; also check the ingredients and any allergens in the variety you choose.
You want to stock up at home and don’t mind weighing out a portion before you leave. Larger packs suit this approach; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing nuts in a tightly sealed container in a dry place.

Bear in mind: the stated servings aren’t the same as individual packs to take with you.
