Choose a multipack if you want to open a fresh pack for different match nights; choose a larger single pack if you want to fill your own bowls or lunchboxes. The AH multipacks contain six 170 g packs, while the Duyvis box listed contains ten 125 g bags: neither offers small individual portions. Then compare salted and unsalted options, total weight and price per kilo. Pack sizes are listed by Albert Heijn, Kantinewinkel and Jumbo.
You’re looking for cashews to share in bowls and want to know how many packs you’ll need for one or more match nights. The multipacks listed contain several standard snack packs, not small individual portions. Albert Heijn lists multipacks of six 170 g packs, while Kantinewinkel lists a Duyvis box with ten 125 g bags.
You want to take some of the same stock with you or portion it out for lunchboxes. Check the weight per pack and how to store leftovers in an airtight container. Whole nuts can pose a separate safety risk for young children; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre warns that they can choke on them.
You want to buy enough without focusing only on the number of bags. Compare the total weight and price per kilo with a single larger pack. A 500 g pack, as listed on the Jumbo page, is one pack, not a multipack.
Start by checking the number of packs, the weight per pack and the total quantity. Then decide whether flavour, portioning it yourself or price per kilo matters most to you.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Packs to share | Count the individual packs and check the weight per pack and the total. The AH multipacks contain 6 × 170 g; the Duyvis box contains 10 × 125 g, according to Albert Heijn and Kantinewinkel. | If you want to open a fresh pack on several different evenings, the number of times you can do so matters; around 33% of consumers put sharing first. |
| Making lunchbox portions | A 125 g or 170 g bag isn’t automatically one lunchbox portion. If you’re portioning the nuts yourself, allow for airtight containers and follow the Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s storage advice. | If you want to choose how many nuts to take with you, a larger pack gives you more flexibility to portion them out; around 27% of consumers put lunchbox portions first. |
| Flavour and salt | Check whether the cashews are salted or unsalted, and also read the ingredients and preparation method. Unsalted doesn’t automatically mean unroasted or free from added oil. | If you’re looking for a savoury snack or prefer unsalted nuts, let that preference guide your choice; around 20% of consumers put flavour or salt preference first. |
| Price and total quantity | Compare the same variety by price per kilo and check the total quantity you’re buying. When comparing consumer prices, make sure they are all on the same VAT basis. | If you want to weigh the cost of stocking up against what you’ll actually use, both the price per kilo and the total quantity matter; around 20% of consumers put cost first. |
The AH packs listed are 170 g each, and the Duyvis bags are 125 g each. So the number of packs doesn’t tell you how many suitable lunchbox portions you’ll get.
Check the number of packs, the weight per pack and the total weight separately.
You may need to weigh the nuts yourself and divide them between bowls or containers.
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre warns that whole nuts can cause young children to choke. A smaller pack doesn’t change that risk.
Consider the safety of whole nuts separately for young children, and make sure they sit calmly with an adult nearby.
The PLUS variety listed contains sunflower oil, while the 250 g Aldi variety is roasted and unsalted. These are different characteristics.
Check the added salt, preparation method and ingredients separately.
A box of ten bags and a 500 g pack contain different quantities. Prices may also be shown with or without VAT.
Compare the consumer price per kilo, including VAT, and choose a total quantity that matches what you expect to use.
A larger pack means more to store properly in an airtight container once opened.

Work out the amount based on the number of guests and what else you’re serving alongside the cashews. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 g as the weight of a handful in its salt checker; this isn’t a portion recommendation for every guest.
No, these are different product characteristics. The 250 g Aldi variety listed is roasted and unsalted, while the ingredients of the PLUS variety labelled unsalted also include sunflower oil. Check the preparation method and ingredients separately.
Store nuts in an airtight container in a cool, dark, dry place, as recommended by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre. For an unopened pack, also follow the product-specific storage advice and check the best-before date.
No, don’t assume that whole nuts are a suitable snack for young children. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre warns that whole nuts can cause choking and advises that children sit calmly with an adult nearby while they eat.
On 20 May 2026, the NVWA issued a warning about 170 g packs of Trader Joe’s unsalted cashews, barcode 2003020120930 and best-before date 23-09-2026, due to possible metal fragments. That date has passed; do not eat cashews from this specific pack. The warning applies to this particular pack and is not an assessment of all ALDI cashews.
