If you want to serve cashews on different occasions or at several tables, choose a pack with individual bags and check the weight of each one. A 500 g bag is better suited to portioning out yourself for one bowl; you can also divide unsalted cashews from a larger bag into lunchboxes. No pack automatically makes a bag a single serving.
If you’re serving several tables or want to offer cashews on different Fridays, check both the number of inner packs and the weight of each bag. Bol lists Duyvis Cashews Sea Salt as 10 bags of 125 g; these are individual packs, not defined single servings.
If you’d rather portion cashews out of a larger bag yourself, you can compare the 500 g salted and unsalted packs listed by Jumbo and ALDI, among others. Check the pack size and current price per kilo for the exact variety.
If you want to set some of your purchase aside for lunchboxes, look for an unsalted variety and check the label. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends unsalted nuts; ALDI lists a 250 g unsalted pack, while PLUS lists a 200 g unsalted Fairtrade pack.
First decide whether you want individual bags or would rather portion cashews out of one large bag yourself. Then compare the pack size and variety with how you plan to use them.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Bags and weight per pack | Check the number of bags and the weight of each one. Bol lists Duyvis Sea Salt as 10 x 125 g. | If I want to serve cashews on different occasions, I want to open only what I need and be able to assess the weight of each bag. Around 29% of consumers prioritise convenient packaging. |
| Pack size and price per kilo | Compare the pack size and current price per kilo for the same variety; a value pack is not the same as a multipack. | If I mainly want to compare the quantity I’ll actually use, I look at pack sizes on an equal-weight basis. Around 23% of consumers prioritise cost per quantity used. |
| Unsalted varieties and ingredients | Check whether the variety is salted or unsalted, and read the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack. | If I also want cashews for everyday use, I want to know which variety I’m buying and what the label says. Around 18% of consumers prioritise unsalted options. |
| Storing leftovers | Choose a total pack size that suits how much you use, and follow the storage advice on the pack. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists rancidity, a chewy texture or mould as signs of spoilage. | If I’d rather open only what I need between occasions, I consider the quantity and how to store any leftovers. Around 18% of consumers prioritise managing their supplies. |
| Country-of-origin information | Look for a statement relating to the exact product range; a claim for one range does not automatically apply to every cashew product from a brand or retailer. | If I want to take origin into account, I look for information on the specific product’s packaging. Around 12% of consumers prioritise verifiable origin information. |
A bag in a multipack may contain more than you want to serve to one person. The Duyvis pack listed by Bol contains 125 g bags.
Check the weight of each inner pack and decide for yourself how much to put on the table or take with you.

Compare the pack format first, then the current price per kilo. Portioning it yourself takes time and may require containers of your own.

No. The number of packs tells you how many bags are included, not how much one person should eat. In the Duyvis Sea Salt format listed by Bol, each inner pack contains 125 g; use the weight to decide how much to serve.
Work out the quantity based on how much you want to serve: divide the total number of grams you need by the weight of each inner pack, then round up. The Duyvis format mentioned contains 125 g per bag; the pack size does not determine how much your guests will eat.
Look for an unsalted variety if you want to follow the Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s advice. You can portion cashews from a single pack yourself; check the label of the exact variety, especially if you have a food allergy.
For opened unsalted cashews, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s general storage advice is six months in a kitchen cupboard and one year in the freezer. Also follow the label and look out for rancidity, a chewy texture or mould; don’t automatically apply this advice to snacks with different ingredients.
