A multipack is a good fit if you want to share regular bags across coffee breaks, several days or colleagues. The Albert Heijn multipacks checked contain 170 g bags, not small individual portions. If you want to make your own lunchbox portions, an unsalted large bag is another option, but you’ll need to weigh out the nuts yourself and seal the opened bag properly. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends unsalted nuts, so compare the weight per bag, the ingredients and how much preparation you’re happy to do.
If you want to take some cashews with you before heading out, you can divide up a regular bag or large pack and seal the rest well. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing nuts in a cool, dark, dry place in a tightly sealed container.
If you’re looking for several bags for colleagues, different coffee breaks or multiple days, check the number of individual packs and the weight per bag. The Albert Heijn multipacks checked contain regular bags, not small portion packs.
If the ingredients matter more to you than a savoury flavour, compare the ingredients and choose a product labelled unsalted. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends unsalted nuts; Jumbo and ALDI list unsalted cashew options.
A good fit when: you want to share several bags across days, coffee breaks or colleagues.
Bear in mind: a regular bag isn’t automatically a personal portion for taking on the go.
A good fit when: you make lunchbox portions at home and want to use one supply on several occasions.
Bear in mind: you’ll need to weigh out the portions yourself and seal the opened bag properly.
A good fit when: you want to take a measured portion with you without dividing it up in advance.
Bear in mind: check the weight per inner pack and the number of bags; the word ‘multipack’ alone doesn’t tell you how large the portions are.
A good fit when: you want to share a bag now and then and don’t need a multipack.
Bear in mind: a single shop-bought bag isn’t a multipack or a pre-measured individual portion.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this most relevant to? |
|---|---|---|
| Taking them with you straight away | Check the weight per bag and whether it really is a portion pack. | If I want to take a snack with me before heading out without weighing it first, I look at the inner packaging; around 33% of consumers say convenience on the go is their top buying priority. |
| Sharing across days or people | Check how many regular bags the multipack contains and how much each one weighs. | If I want to share bags with colleagues or across coffee breaks, the number of individual packs matters; around 27% of consumers put sharing first. |
| Quantity and cost | Compare the total contents and price per kilogram at the same retailer and at the same time. | If cost matters more to me than the convenience of separate bags, I compare prices for the same quantity; around 20% of consumers prioritise cost. |
| Unsalted ingredients | Read the ingredients and salt information; roasted without added oil doesn’t automatically mean unsalted. | If I’m mainly looking for unsalted cashews as part of a regular snacking routine, I check the ingredients; around 20% of consumers make unsalted products their top buying priority. |
The Albert Heijn multipacks checked contain regular 170 g bags. So the number of bags doesn’t tell you how many measured portions you’ll get.
Before buying, check the weight per item and what’s in the pack, not just the number of bags.
For your own lunchbox portion, you may still need to fill a container and divide up the quantity yourself.
Duyvis describes Cashews Original as roasted without added oil, but also lists salt and flavourings in the ingredients.
Check the ingredients separately from the preparation method. If unsalted is your main requirement, choose a product labelled unsalted.
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing nuts in a cool, dark, dry place in a tightly sealed container.
Choose an amount that suits how you use them, and seal the remaining nuts after filling your lunchbox.
A product listing may show a different variant name or different product information. A similar name alone doesn’t confirm that the ingredients and allergen information are the same.
Check the exact variant and the information on the packaging; don’t rely on details from another product listing.

No. Duyvis says its Cashews Original are roasted without added oil, but the ingredients include salt and flavourings. Check the ingredients if you’re looking for unsalted cashews.
Check the ingredients list and any warnings on the packaging. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains that allergens which must be declared have to be clearly identified in the ingredients list. If there is no ingredients list, rules apply for a ‘contains’ statement, unless the allergen is already clear from the product name. A PLUS product page lists cashews as a present allergen and says that peanuts may also be present.
