First, decide how many cashews you want to set aside for lunch and whether you’ll be sharing the supply. The Albert Heijn and Duyvis multipacks reviewed contain standard packs of 125, 170 or 225 grams; the AH Sourcream 3-pack lists 150 grams in total and six 25-gram servings on the label. That doesn’t automatically make a pack one lunch portion: check the ingredients too, and choose an amount that suits how you’ll use and store them.
You want to set aside a suitable amount in advance, rather than keep dipping into a large bag while you work. Albert Heijn lists six 25-gram servings for its Sourcream 3-pack; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 grams as a reference portion for a handful of unsalted cashews.
You’re buying for housemates or several days working from home, and want to know how many individual packs are in a multipack. The Albert Heijn and Foods & Goods multipack pages list the quantities and pack sizes; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing nuts in a dry place in a tightly sealed container.
You’re looking for unsalted nuts or a particular flavour, for example, and check the ingredients and allergens before buying several packs. AH Sourcream lists milk and lactose; if you have a relevant allergy, always check the information for the exact variant.
First choose between individual bags, multipacks of standard packs, or one larger bag that you portion yourself. Then compare the net weight, serving information and ingredients for the specific variant.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Amount per lunch | Compare the net weight, number of packs and serving information on the label separately. | If I want to fill my lunchbox in advance, I need to know how many grams it holds, not just how many bags are in the multipack; around 36% of consumers prioritise pre-portioning. |
| Shared supplies | Take the number of packs and the weight per pack into account; plan how to store them in a dry place in a sealed container, too. | If I’m sharing supplies with housemates or buying for several days working from home, I want to know how much I’m actually bringing home; around 29% of consumers prioritise shared supplies. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the ingredients list and allergens for the exact flavour variant. | If I need to check ingredients or allergens carefully, I don’t want to rely on the word ‘unsalted’ alone; around 21% of consumers prioritise finding a suitable composition. |
| Unused supplies | Match the total amount to how much you expect to use and the space you have to seal opened packs. | If I want to avoid leaving too much unused, I need to choose a pack size that suits how much I’ll use; around 14% of consumers prioritise minimising unused supplies. |
Albert Heijn’s multipacks contain standard packs; the AH Sourcream 3-pack lists six servings across three packs. So the number of packs doesn’t tell you how much to set aside for each lunch.
Check the number of packs, the weight and the serving information as separate details.
Buying a larger supply may mean measuring out portions yourself and finding somewhere to store the rest in a tightly sealed container.
‘Unsalted’ doesn’t automatically mean a product contains no oil or other ingredients. AH Sourcream lists milk and lactose; Jumbo and PLUS product information lists sunflower oil.
Check the ingredients and allergens for the exact variant before choosing a multipack.
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing nuts in a dry place in a tightly sealed container, as they are susceptible to mould.
Choose an amount that suits how much you’ll use and how you can store it, and follow the storage instructions on the product label.
An airtight container can come in handy if you’re dividing a larger pack into lunch-sized portions.

No, the pack size doesn’t determine how much you’ll want to eat at one lunch. The AH multipacks reviewed contain standard packs; the AH Sourcream 3-pack lists six 25-gram servings in 150 grams total. Treat the serving information as product guidance, not a personal portion recommendation.
Store nuts in a dry place in a tightly sealed container. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends keeping them cool, ideally at 10 to 15 °C. Follow the instructions on your product label too; general storage advice doesn’t guarantee how long an opened pack will keep.
No, check the ingredients for the exact variant. Jumbo and PLUS product information lists sunflower oil in their unsalted cashews; AH Sourcream lists milk and lactose.
Don’t assume that whole cashews are suitable for young children. The AH Sourcream, Jumbo and PLUS product pages warn that they pose a choking risk to young children.
Do not eat Trader Joe’s unsalted cashews, 170 grams, with barcode 2003020120930 and best-before date 23 September 2026. On 20 May 2026, the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority warned that they may contain metal fragments. The best-before date has passed, but the warning still applies to any packs you may have with this identification; it does not apply to all ALDI cashews.
