Choose several standard packs if you want to split your supply between different occasions or people; go for a large bag if you want to weigh out portions for your lunchbox yourself. The AH unsalted cashews 3-pack contains three 170 g packs, while the Duyvis Sea Salt multipack contains ten 125 g bags: neither is a bundle of small, individual snack portions. Check the ingredients and allergen information too; unsalted and flavoured cashews are not the same thing.
You want to portion out cashews in advance for your morning break. Bear in mind the difference between the pack size and a snack portion: the AH unsalted cashews 3-pack contains three 170 g packs, so you’ll still need to weigh out the portions yourself. Albert Heijn lists the bundle as three separate packs.
You’re buying for several people or occasions and don’t want to open your whole supply at once. Kantinewinkel sells Duyvis Sea Salt as ten 125 g bags; the retailer describes each bag as containing around four portions.
You’re looking for an unsalted option for a regular snack. Compare plain, oil-roasted and flavoured varieties separately: unsalted doesn’t automatically mean oil-free or free from other allergens. Product information from Jumbo and PLUS, for example, lists different ingredients.
First decide whether you mainly want to portion the cashews yourself, share the packs or find a particular flavour and ingredient list.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who does this matter to? |
|---|---|---|
| Portion size | Check the weight per pack and the number of nutritional portions. For its flavoured 3-packs, Albert Heijn lists 150 g in total and six 25 g portions; this doesn’t tell you how much is in each individual pack. | For a lunchbox, you’ll want to know how much to weigh out for your morning break; around 36% of consumers prioritise portioning. |
| Sharing packs | Check how many individual packs there are and how many grams each contains. Kantinewinkel lists Duyvis Sea Salt as ten 125 g bags. | If you’re keeping cashews for different occasions or people, separate packs are useful; around 29% of consumers prioritise a supply they can share. |
| Ingredients and flavour | Compare the ingredients list and decide whether you want an unsalted option or a flavoured variety. Jumbo lists sunflower oil in its 500 g pack of unsalted cashews. | If you’re specifically looking for an unsalted option or a particular flavour, you’ll want to know what else is in the pack; around 21% of consumers prioritise ingredients and flavour. |
| Allergens and suitability | Read the allergen information on the current packaging. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises against giving whole nuts or peanuts to children under 4. | If allergies or young children are a consideration, suitability matters more than packaging convenience; around 14% of consumers say this is their most important consideration. |
The AH unsalted cashews 3-pack contains three 170 g packs; the Duyvis Sea Salt bundle contains ten 125 g bags. A pack isn’t automatically a single snack portion.
Before choosing a bundle for your lunchbox, check the weight of each pack and the number of nutritional portions separately.
You’ll still need to weigh out the amount for your lunchbox yourself and store the supply in a well-sealed container once opened.
Ingredients and allergens vary by product. Jumbo lists sunflower oil in its unsalted cashews; AH’s sour cream flavour contains milk and lactose, and PLUS states that its product may contain peanuts.
Compare the full ingredients and allergen information on the packaging, not just the product name on the front.
The NVWA warning issued on 20 May 2026 applies specifically to Trader Joe’s 170 g cashews with barcode 2003020120930 and best-before date 23-09-2026. The NVWA instruction for that batch is: do not eat. The warning does not automatically apply to all ALDI cashews.
If there’s a warning, check the exact product name, barcode and best-before date on the packaging; do not eat the batch named in the warning.
Worth considering for roasted or salted cashews. Kantinewinkel lists Duyvis Sea Salt as ten 125 g bags.
Offers both a bundle of standard unsalted packs and smaller flavoured 3-packs.
Unsalted cashews are available in a 200 g pack and a larger 500 g pack, among other sizes.

ALDI lists Trader Joe’s roasted unsalted cashews in a 250 g pack.
PLUS lists 200 g bags of unsalted, unroasted cashews.

No. According to Albert Heijn, the AH unsalted cashews 3-pack contains three separate 170 g packs. The flavoured AH 3-packs weighing 150 g list six 25 g nutritional portions. Check the number of packs, the total weight and the nutritional portion size separately.
Store cashews in a well-sealed container in a dry place. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends keeping them cool, ideally at 10 to 15 °C; also follow the instructions on the label of the product you’ve bought. The AH flavoured varieties reviewed say to store in a cool, dark, dry place and reseal the pack carefully after use.
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises against giving whole nuts or peanuts to children under 4; ground nuts or nut butter are the alternatives it suggests. Older children can choke too. Encourage children to eat calmly while seated at the table, and stay with them when they’re eating whole nuts.
The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) says that allergen information must appear on the label of pre-packed foods. Since 1 January 2026, Dutch rules have also applied to warnings about possible cross-contamination. Check the current packaging: these labelling requirements don’t guarantee that a product is suitable for everyone with an allergy.
Compare the product name, packaging, barcode and best-before date with the warning, and follow the instructions for that specific batch. On 20 May 2026, the NVWA advised consumers not to eat Trader Joe’s 170 g cashews with barcode 2003020120930 and best-before date 23-09-2026 because they may contain metal fragments. The warning doesn’t automatically apply to other cashew products.
