For everyday snacking on the go, a pre-measured portion in a well-sealed container is ideal for a quick coffee break. Choose unsalted cashews if that’s what you’re looking for. If you’d prefer a savoury, roasted flavour, bear in mind that the 125 g Duyvis bag contains several portions.
You want to take a measured portion of cashews with you for coffee on the go, without mindlessly eating from a pack containing several portions. The weight of each individual pack and the stated portion size help you work out how much to take.
You’re looking for unsalted cashews and also check the ingredients. Unsalted varieties can differ in whether they contain added oil.
You’re mainly choosing cashews for their savoury, roasted flavour and don’t mind taking a portion from a larger bag yourself. Roasting without added oil doesn’t mean the variety is unsalted.
First decide how much you want to take for each coffee break. Then consider whether unsalted ingredients, a roasted flavour or preparing portions at home matters most to you.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Portion size | Compare the weight of each pack with the stated portion size. Duyvis lists 30 g as the average portion for a 125 g bag; the AH 3-pack contains three separate 170 g packs. | If I want something small with my coffee, I want to know how much I’m actually taking with me. Around 36% of consumers prioritise portion convenience. |
| Unsalted ingredients | Read the ingredients for the exact variety: PLUS lists cashews, while Jumbo also lists sunflower oil. | When I’m looking for unsalted cashews, I also want to know what else is in the pack. Around 29% of consumers prioritise the ingredients. |
| Preparation and flavour | Check whether the variety is roasted or unroasted, and whether it contains salt. Duyvis says its cashews are roasted without added oil or fat, but the variety is salted. | If I prefer a savoury, roasted flavour with my coffee, that matters more to me than choosing unsalted cashews. Around 21% of consumers share this flavour preference. |
| Stocking up and storage | Check the weight and number of packs in the multipack. Follow the storage instructions too: the Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing nuts in a well-sealed container in a dry place. | I want to plan ahead for several working days and don’t mind preparing portions at home. Around 14% of consumers prioritise keeping a daily supply and preparing portions in advance. |
The AH Unsalted Cashews 3-pack consists of three separate 170 g packs. So, “3-pack” doesn’t mean you’ll get three small snack portions.
Check the pack contents and the weight of each item before choosing it to take on the go.
You’ll still need to prepare the portions yourself and store what’s left.
According to the product information, the Duyvis variety is roasted without added oil or fat, but it does contain salt. Jumbo Unsalted Cashews, on the other hand, lists sunflower oil in the ingredients.
