If you want to share cashews across several coffee breaks, choose packs you can open one at a time. If you prefer to portion them yourself, a larger pack is a better fit. A multipack doesn’t automatically contain small lunchbox portions: check how many bags there are and the weight of each one. For everyday use, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends unsalted nuts and varying the types of nuts you eat. If you’re sharing, keep the ingredients and allergen information handy too.
You’re buying for several coffee breaks or for a group, and want to keep some packs to hand. Check both the number of items and the weight of each one; Albert Heijn and Foods & Goods describe bundles containing separate items or sharing bags.
You’re looking for a pack that suits the amount you want to take with you. Distinguish between a standard sharing pack and a small portion pack: the product or bundle name alone won’t tell you how much is in each bag.
You want to divide cashews between coffee bowls and lunchboxes, and don’t mind weighing them out yourself. Jumbo lists a 500-gram pack of unsalted cashews; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing opened nuts in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dark and dry place.
First decide whether you want to open a pack for each coffee break or portion the nuts yourself. Then check the weight per bag and the variety, so the pack suits the way you plan to use it.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Number of sharing packs | Check the number of separate items and the weight of each one. | If I want something to hand out across several coffee breaks, I need to know exactly what’s in the bundle. Around 36% of consumers in this choice scenario prioritise sharing. |
| Lunchbox convenience | Check the weight per bag and whether you’ll need to weigh out portions yourself. | For my lunchbox, I want to take a suitable amount without finding myself having to split up a standard shop-bought pack. Around 29% of consumers prioritise convenience and the amount per serving. |
| Variety and ingredients | Check whether the variety is unsalted or seasoned, and read the ingredients for the exact product. | If I eat nuts regularly, I want to know whether the variety suits my preference for unsalted nuts. Around 21% of consumers in this choice scenario prioritise the ingredients and the unsalted variety. |
| Stock and storage | Choose an amount that suits your needs and make sure you can seal an opened pack properly. | When I portion nuts myself, I want to use up the pack and store it appropriately once opened. Around 14% of consumers prioritise managing their stock and choosing an amount that suits their needs. |
The AH bundles examined are supplied as separate items, while the Duyvis box contains 125-gram bags. So the number of packs won’t tell you how many small lunchbox portions you’ll get.
Check the number of items and the weight per item separately.
If you want to portion the contents yourself, allow for extra preparation and have your own containers ready.
Duyvis says its Cashews Original are roasted without added oil, but the ingredients include salt. So this preparation method doesn’t mean the variety is unsalted.
Read the ingredients for the exact variety, and choose an explicitly unsalted option if that’s what you prefer.
A large pack for stocking up and a box of several bags are different ways to buy. A larger pack also needs to be stored properly once opened.
Choose an amount that suits your needs, and check that you can seal and store it properly.
The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) warning dated 20 May 2026 concerns Trader Joe’s 170-gram unsalted cashews, barcode 2003020120930, with a best-before date of 23-09-2026. The NVWA warns that the product may contain metal fragments and says not to eat it.
If you have older stock, check the product name, weight, barcode and best-before date against the warning. Don’t assume it applies to other ALDI packs.
Worth considering for savoury cashews in standard sharing bags and boxes containing several bags.
Worth considering for bundles of three items of unsalted or salted cashews.
Worth considering if you want to portion unsalted cashews yourself from a standard pack or a larger supply.
Worth considering if you want to take the supply chain information for a particular cashew variety into account.
Worth considering if you want to portion unsalted cashews yourself.
Worth considering if you’re looking for an unsalted cashew variety with a Fairtrade label.
This selection includes a 500-gram pack of cashews and two mixed-nut products, including 23-gram portions. Check whether you’re looking for cashews only or would also like to take a nut mix with you.

A good fit if you’re looking for a larger supply of cashews to share; the product name states 500 g. The product information lists salt, so this isn’t an unsalted variety.

The product name specifies five 23 g portions, making this a good choice if you’re looking for individual packs to take with you. It’s a nut mix, not a multipack containing cashews only.

For anyone who wants to take a selection of nuts with them or share it, rather than choosing a pack containing cashews only. The product name states 242 g; check the product information if the ingredients are important to your choice.
No. The AH bundles examined contain separate items, not three set individual snack portions. Check the weight per item and portion them yourself if each one contains more than you want to take with you.
Store nuts in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dark and dry place, and follow the storage advice on the pack too. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives this advice for storing nuts; the storage period for mixed salted nuts isn’t automatically a set period for every cashew product.
Keep the ingredients and allergen information handy. The NVWA lists nuts as an allergen that food businesses must tell consumers about; Duyvis also states that Sea Salt may contain traces of wheat, peanuts and other nuts.
No, don’t assume they are. The Jumbo product page consulted warns that young children can choke on nuts; a multipack doesn’t prove that its contents are suitable for every child.
