If you have coeliac disease, first choose a variant whose gluten-free status is specified at product level, then compare the calories for the same quantity. Albert Heijn lists 622 kcal per 100 g for both its 100 g and 170 g packs of unsalted cashews; mathematically, 15 g is 93.3 kcal and 25 g is 155.5 kcal. This information can help you choose between these two variants, but it doesn’t tell you which cashews from all brands contain the fewest calories.
If you have coeliac disease, you’ll want to check the exact variant, ingredients and gluten-free information before choosing based on taste or calories. Thuisarts also advises reading the label if a product doesn’t have a gluten-free logo.
