For on-the-go snacking, choose a pack whose contents you genuinely intend to take as one planned portion; a 125 g bag is not automatically a single portion. If you also want cashews to share, a larger pack may be practical if you’re happy to measure out what you need and store the rest according to the label. Then factor in whether you prefer unsalted, salted or savoury-seasoned nuts.
You want to decide in advance how many cashews to take with you. Check the weight per pack and whether it really contains separate inner sachets; the name of an on-the-go pack doesn’t tell you how much is inside.
You want to put out cashews for several people and perhaps take some with you too. A larger pack could work if you’re happy to measure out what you need and store the rest according to the label.
You’re looking for nuts to enjoy on different occasions, with unsalted as your main preference. Compare the product name and ingredients of the specific variety.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this most important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Taking exactly one portion with you | Check the weight per bag and whether a multipack contains separate inner sachets. A 125 g bag isn’t automatically one eating portion. | If you want to portion your snack in advance for the journey, rather than divide it up there and then, convenience comes first. Around 33% of consumers say this is their top purchasing priority. |
| Savoury flavour for sharing | Compare the ingredients and salt per 100 g. Salted nuts and nuts with a blended seasoning are not the same thing. | If savoury flavour matters more than eating the nuts unsalted or having convenient portions, flavour is the deciding factor. Around 27% of consumers choose this as their top priority. |
| Snacking on unsalted nuts | Check that the specific variety is unsalted, and look at the net weight if you want to portion it yourself. | If you want to eat cashews regularly and prefer them unsalted, that feature matters most. Around 20% of consumers put this priority first. |
| Cost and portioning them yourself | Compare packs on the same weight basis, and factor in measuring out portions and storing what’s left. | If cost is your main concern and you don’t mind portioning the nuts yourself, this trade-off may suit you. Around 13% of consumers say this is their top priority. |
| Ingredients and origin | Read the information on the exact product’s packaging. A statement about a product range doesn’t replace ingredient or allergen information. | If your choice depends mainly on verifiable ingredients or product-specific origin information, you’ll want to be able to compare those details. Around 7% of consumers put this first. |
A 125 g pack is a pack size, not confirmation that the contents are intended for one sitting. The Voedingscentrum uses 25 g as a general guide for a handful of nuts; that doesn’t make a 125 g pack five recommended portions.
Check the net weight and whether there are inner packs, then decide for yourself how much you want to take.
