If you mainly take snacks with you, a smaller bag may be more practical. If you snack regularly at home, you can portion out a larger pack yourself and store the rest in a dry, airtight container. Check the pack size and number of portions: the product description on Joybuy lists 4–5 portions for Duyvis Sea Salt 125 g. For an everyday choice, unsalted nuts are included in the Dutch Wheel of Five, according to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre.
If you take snacks with you from your student accommodation, consider how much space the packaging takes up and whether you want a small bag or an individually wrapped portion. The product description on Joybuy lists multiple portions for Duyvis Sea Salt 125 g.
If you snack regularly and want to portion out your own servings, you can compare pack sizes and prices per kilogram. Store the rest in a dry, airtight container; a larger pack is not automatically cheaper per kilogram.
If you’re looking for nuts to make part of your daily routine, check the exact variety and its ingredients. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, unsalted nuts are included in the Dutch Wheel of Five. Unsalted doesn’t automatically mean unroasted or oil-free.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this most relevant to? |
|---|---|---|
| Taking a portion with you | Check the net weight, number of portions and whether the pack contains individual bags. | If I want to take a snack with me without carrying a large bag, I look at the amount in each pack. This matters most to shoppers who value convenience when taking snacks with them; they account for around 36%. |
| Quantity and cost | Compare the price per kilogram for the same variety and choose an amount you’ll actually use. | If I want to stock up at home, I compare the price per kilogram and consider whether I’ll use the contents in time. This is a priority for shoppers who focus on cost; they account for around 29%. |
| Ingredients | Check the exact salt variety and read the ingredients, added oil and allergen information. | If I’m looking for nuts to fit into my daily routine, I want to know whether they’re unsalted and what else they contain. This matters most to shoppers who prioritise their everyday food choices; they account for around 21%. |
| Flavour and preparation | Check the full variety name and whether the nuts are unroasted, roasted or seasoned. | If I’m looking for a particular flavour or preparation method, I look beyond the name ‘cashew nuts’. This is most relevant to shoppers who prioritise flavour; they account for around 14%. |
A 125 g pack may contain several servings. The Joybuy product description lists 4–5 portions for Duyvis Sea Salt; that’s not the same as individually wrapped single servings.
Check the net weight, number of portions and whether the pack contains smaller bags. You can also portion out a serving in advance.
Pack size alone doesn’t tell you whether you’ll pay less per kilogram. The prices listed for different pack sizes may also relate to a specific variety and retailer.
Compare the price per kilogram for the same salt and preparation variety, and choose an amount that suits how much you use.
These are different product characteristics. The PLUS Fairtrade cashew nuts checked are unsalted but contain sunflower oil; Duyvis varieties also have different recipes.
Read the full variety name and ingredients rather than basing your choice on just one feature.

This information does not assess whether a product is suitable for you personally.
