For taking cashews along when you pick up chips or packing them in lunchboxes, a small multipack is a good choice if you want several individual packs; larger bags are more practical for sharing. Albert Heijn lists a Katsu curry 3-pack with a total weight of 150 g, while the Duyvis Sea Salt multipack contains ten 125 g bags. So check the quantity in each bag and the flavour, and choose a large single bag only if you’re happy to portion it out yourself.
Individual packs can be handy if you want to take cashews with you for different occasions. Check both the number of bags and the quantity in each one: Albert Heijn lists a total of 150 g for its Katsu curry cashew 3-pack. For children under 4, the Voedingscentrum recommends nut butter with no added sugar or salt instead of whole nuts, due to the risk of choking.
If you want to share cashews with others, focus on the quantity per bag and the total amount. The Duyvis Sea Salt multipack on offer contains ten 125 g bags, giving you more of the same flavour than a small 3-pack.
A larger single bag is a good choice if you want to decide the portion sizes yourself. Jumbo and Lidl list 500 g packs of unsalted cashews; once opened, follow the storage advice on the packaging.
First decide whether you need individual packs, want to share with others or would rather portion them yourself.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Taking individual packs along | Check the number of inner packs, the total quantity and the amount in each bag. | If I’m packing cashews for lunchboxes or different occasions when I’ll be out and about, I want to be able to take an unopened bag each time. Around 40% of consumers say individual packs are their main priority. |
| Sharing | Compare the number of bags and the quantity in each one with how many people you plan to share with. | When I’m sharing with others, the size of the bag we open matters more than just the number of bags in the box. Around 30% of consumers prioritise having enough cashews to share. |
| Ingredients and safe use | Read the ingredients, allergen information and nutrition table for the exact product. | If the cashews are for different people, I want to check the ingredients and allergens. Around 20% of consumers focus mainly on ingredients and safe use. |
| Storing after opening | Follow the storage instructions and check how to reseal the pack after opening. | If I’m portioning out a larger bag myself, I want to know how to store the remainder according to the packaging instructions. Around 10% of consumers prioritise storage and pack type. |
A multipack doesn’t automatically contain small portions. Each bag in the Duyvis Sea Salt multipack contains 125 g; Kantinewinkel describes this as around four portions.
Check the quantity in each inner pack and think about how much you’ll want for each occasion when you’re out or sharing.
The 500 g bags of unsalted cashews listed by Jumbo and Lidl are single packs. They don’t have the same individually wrapped portions as the multipacks described here.
Choose whether you want unopened inner packs or a larger bag that you can portion out yourself.
Portioning them yourself takes time, and you’ll need a suitable way to seal the remaining cashews.
The Centraal Bureau Levensmiddelenhandel described a 2030 target relating to the certification of own-brand cashew snack nuts. This target doesn’t prove that a specific pack is already certified.
Check the wording on the exact pack. The Fairtrade label on one PLUS product doesn’t automatically apply to other products.
The examples described range from single bags to specific multipacks. Check the quantity and flavour of each pack individually.

For children under 4, the Voedingscentrum recommends nut butter with no added sugar or salt instead of nuts, due to the risk of choking. Choosing a smaller bag doesn’t change this advice.
Follow the storage instructions on the exact pack. Versenoten.nl recommends storing nuts in a tightly sealed container, such as the original bag closed with a clip or a dry storage jar. Shelf life can vary from one product to another.
Check the net quantity, best-before information, ingredients and allergens, among other details. According to the Nederlandse Voedsel- en Warenautoriteit and European labelling rules, any allergens present must be clearly stated and highlighted in the ingredients list; product-specific exceptions may apply.
No, don’t assume that every food product or opened multipack can be returned without exception. The Autoriteit Consument & Markt generally describes a 14-day cooling-off period for online purchases and notes that there are legal exceptions, including products that spoil quickly. Before opening the pack, check which terms apply to your purchase; complaints about a damaged or incorrectly delivered product are a separate matter.
