Choose individual packs if you want to open a fresh bag for different moments at the campsite; opt for a large pack if you’ll share the contents and portion them yourself. Check the weight of each pack in a multipack: the Albert Heijn multipacks reviewed contain four individual packs of 170 g or 225 g, not small lunchbox portions. Also consider flavour, how the cashews are prepared, storage space and the needs of everyone eating them.
You want to divide cashews between different lunchboxes or days. Check whether a multipack contains individual packs or smaller portions: the Albert Heijn multipacks reviewed consist of packs weighing 170 g or 225 g each.
You’re taking cashews for shared snack times and choosing between several bags and one larger pack. A box of ten 125 g bags and a single 500 g pack call for different ways of opening and sharing them.
You’re looking for unsalted cashews and also paying attention to how they’re prepared and what’s in them. Unsalted, unroasted and made without added oil are different characteristics, so check the exact product details.
Suitable if: you want to open a fresh pack on different days. Albert Heijn lists multipacks containing four individual packs of 170 g or 225 g each.
Bear in mind: these aren’t small portions for one lunchbox, so you may need to portion them yourself.
Suitable if: you’re planning several group snack times and want to open bags individually. Foods & Goods describes a Duyvis Sea Salt box containing ten 125 g bags.
Bear in mind: 125 g is a sharing pack, not automatically a single serving; check whether this quantity suits your trip.
Suitable if: you want to take supplies for several people. Jumbo and ALDI list 500 g packs of cashews.
Bear in mind: there are no individual bags for each day; seal the opened pack well and store the nuts somewhere cool and dry.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Pack format | Check the number of individual packs and the weight of each one; a multipack isn’t necessarily a set of small portions. | I want to open bags when it suits me, for different days or lunchboxes; around 29% of consumers prioritise the pack format. |
| Quantity for the group | Compare the total weight and decide whether you want to take several bags or portion a large pack yourself. | I want to take enough for the group without carrying more than we need; around 22% of consumers prioritise getting the quantity right. |
| Flavour and preparation | Read the ingredients and check separately whether the variety is unsalted, unroasted or seasoned. | I choose mainly based on flavour and preparation, for example unroasted or savoury; around 21% of consumers make these their main considerations. |
| Storage after opening | Check the storage advice and think about where you can keep an opened pack sealed, cool and dry. | I want to store the opened pack properly during the trip; around 14% of consumers make storage their main consideration. |
| Suitable for everyone eating them | Check the current label for cashews and other allergens; for young children, also bear in mind the risks of whole nuts. | I need to consider allergies or young children sharing the snacks; around 14% of consumers prioritise suitability for the people eating them. |
The Albert Heijn multipacks reviewed contain four individual packs of 170 g or 225 g. So the number of packs doesn’t tell you how much will fit into each lunchbox portion.
Check the weight of each individual pack, not just the number of packs.
You may need to weigh or portion the contents yourself, and could end up taking more than you need for a lunchbox.

Keep cashews sealed and dry. Voedingscentrum recommends storing them somewhere cool, for example at 10 to 15 °C; also follow the instructions on the label of the specific pack.
Don’t assume that whole cashews are suitable as a snack for children. Voedingscentrum warns that whole nuts can cause choking and advises children to eat calmly while seated, with an adult nearby. A multipack doesn’t change the texture of the nuts.
Check the ingredients list and allergen information for the exact product. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergens that must be declared need to be clearly identifiable; where there’s no ingredients list, specific rules apply to statements such as ‘contains’. If you have an allergy, always follow the current label.
A warning about possible cross-contamination is separate from cashews being an actual ingredient. Since 1 January 2026, the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority has overseen Dutch rules on precautionary allergen information. The appropriate warning depends on the risk assessment and the applicable reference values.
