For sharing at the office, a Duyvis box of 10 × 125 g bags is a good fit; for a smaller lunch-box portion, you’ll need to divide up a bag first. If you want to take unsalted cashews with you, a single bag that you portion yourself is a more suitable choice than these salted multipacks. When comparing multipacks, look at the number of bags, the weight per bag and the ingredients separately.
You want to take a bag with you without having to divide up a larger pack at home. Check the weight of each inner bag: Foods & Goods lists 125 g bags for the Duyvis multipacks. The historic AH pack of 3 × 40 g is listed as discontinued, so it’s not currently available to buy.
You’re looking for individual bags that you can open and share at different lunch breaks. The Duyvis boxes of 10 × 125 g bags suit this kind of use, according to Foods & Goods; that doesn’t automatically make each inner bag a small portion.
You want unsalted cashews and don’t mind portioning them yourself. Albert Heijn, Jumbo, ALDI and PLUS list individual bags of unsalted cashews; compare the ingredients and storage instructions for the exact product.
First decide whether you want to take a bag with you as it is or portion it yourself. Then compare the ingredients and how to store the pack once opened.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Taking them with you | Check the weight of each inner bag, not just the number of bags. Foods & Goods lists 125 g per bag for the Duyvis multipacks. | If I want to put something in my lunch box without weighing it, I need to know how much is in each bag. Around 36% of consumers say convenience for taking cashews with them is their top buying priority. |
| Sharing at the office | Check how many individual bags are in the box and how big each one is. According to Foods & Goods, a Duyvis box contains 10 bags of 125 g. | If I want to share with colleagues at different times, I look for sealed inner bags and check how much is in each one. Around 29% of consumers say sharing is their top buying priority. |
| Unsalted ingredients | Read the ingredients and salt content for the exact product. Unsalted and made without added oil don’t mean the same thing. | If I’m looking for unsalted cashews to eat regularly, I compare the ingredients and portion them myself if needed. Around 21% of consumers prioritise an unsalted product. |
| Quantity and storage | Compare the total amount with what you can take with you and store. Once opened, use an airtight container and follow the storage instructions. | I want to choose a pack that I can use up at a suitable rate and store properly. Around 14% of consumers say pack size and storage are their main considerations. |
The Duyvis multipacks contain 125 g bags. So the number of inner bags doesn’t tell you how much you’ll want to take for one lunch break.
Check the weight per bag and decide in advance whether you want to share the contents or divide them into smaller portions.
Portioning them yourself takes extra effort and may mean you need an airtight container.
Duyvis describes Cashews Original as oven-roasted without added oil. Foods & Goods lists 0.92 g of salt per 100 g for the Dry Roasted version and 2.3 g per 100 g for the Sea Salt version. These are retailer product details, not independent measurements.
Compare the ingredients and salt content for the exact product; don’t infer what’s in it from the cooking method alone.
A single bag of unsalted cashews isn’t as convenient as individual inner bags. Portioning them yourself takes preparation, and you’ll need a suitable way to store any leftovers.
Check whether you’re buying one bag or several individual bags, and decide whether you want to prepare the portions yourself.
The NVWA warning applies only to Trader Joe’s unsalted cashews, 170 g, with barcode 2003020120930 and best-before date 23-09-2026. The warning refers to possible metal fragments and does not automatically apply to other packs.

It depends on how much you want to take with you. As an example, 200 g makes eight 25 g portions, 250 g makes ten and 125 g makes five. This is simply the net weight divided into portions; it doesn’t mean they’re individually packed or provide personal dietary advice.
Keep them in an airtight container in a cool, dark, dry place, and follow the storage advice on the exact pack too. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists rancidity, a chewy texture and mould as signs of loss of quality or spoilage.
No. Duyvis describes Cashews Original as roasted without added oil, while Foods & Goods lists salt for the Dry Roasted version. Check the cooking method, ingredients and salt content separately.
