For one working-from-home lunch, measuring out a portion yourself makes sense if you want a set amount. If you’d rather take the original pack, treat it as a multi-portion pack. Albert Heijn lists seven portions for the 170 g AH pack and four to five for the 125 g Duyvis bag, so check the portion information for the exact variant.
You want a set amount to have alongside lunch or take with you on the go. Check the number of portions, not just how small the pack looks: the 125 g and 170 g packs examined contain several portions. Albert Heijn lists these portion details for the products in question.
You’re looking for cashews with no added salt. Compare the ingredients and preparation method for the exact variant: unsalted doesn’t automatically mean unroasted or free from added oil. For example, Jumbo lists sunflower oil in its unsalted variant.
You can prepare portions at home and divide a pack across several working days. The 200 g unsalted packs examined, along with the 250 g roasted, unsalted pack, suit this purpose; seal the rest well and store it in a dry place. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing nuts in a well-sealed pack in a dry place.
Portion information varies by product: Albert Heijn lists seven portions for the 170 g AH bag and four to five for the 125 g Duyvis bag. Don’t treat these label details as general portion guidance.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Which consumers? |
|---|---|---|
| A set portion | Net weight, portion size on the label and number of portions. | If I take one snack with me for my lunch break, I want to know how much is in the pack. Around 36% of consumers prioritise a set portion that’s easy to take with them. |

Around 21% of consumers prioritise a useful supply for several days. |
| Savoury flavour | The exact variant, seasoning mix, salt content and allergen warnings. | People who consciously choose a savoury, seasoned snack want to know what else has been added to the cashews. Around 14% of consumers prioritise savoury flavour. |
