For a night in, you can choose a handy bag, several individual packs or a larger pack from which you weigh out your own portion. The total contents of a bag aren’t automatically one snack portion. Choose unsalted if you prefer, and check the ingredients, portion information and storage advice for each product.
You want to take cashews with you for a planned snack break. A small bag or multipack can be handy, but check how many grams are in each bag. Albert Heijn lists an unsalted multipack, while Jumbo offers, among other options, a 125 g salted pack.
You want cashews with no added salt. Consider the salt content separately from the preparation method: ALDI lists roasted, unsalted cashews, while PLUS lists unsalted, unroasted cashews.
You take your own portion with you more often and want to divide up a larger pack at home. ALDI lists a 250 g pack and PLUS a 200 g pack. Seal the remainder well and store it in a cool, dark, dry place, as advised by the Voedingscentrum.
Start with how much you want to take with you, then consider the salt content, preparation method and label information separately.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Taking a portion with you | The net weight of each bag and any portion information. | If I’m taking something with me for one snack break, I want to know how much I’ll actually have with me. Around 29% of consumers prioritise convenience on the go and a suitable portion size. |
| Choosing unsalted | The ‘unsalted’ label and the ingredients for the exact product. | If I don’t want added salt, I look for that label separately from the preparation method. Around 23% of consumers prioritise an unsalted option. |
| Savoury flavour | The full product name, preparation method and ingredients, including salt and oil. | If I’m looking for a savoury snack, I want to know which seasonings and ingredients are in that product. Around 18% of consumers prioritise savoury flavour. |
| Portioning them yourself | The total pack size, how much you use and the storage advice. | If I’m taking cashews with me for several occasions, I want to be able to weigh out a suitable amount at home and store the remainder properly. Around 18% of consumers prioritise portioning them themselves and using them over several occasions. |
| Allergen information | Whether the people you’re sharing with can eat cashews, and what the ingredients and allergen information say. | If I’m taking cashews for other people, I want to take their allergies into account beforehand. Around 12% of consumers prioritise allergen information when sharing snacks. |
The net weight of a pack doesn’t necessarily correspond to one snack portion. The Joybuy listing for Duyvis Sea Salt Cashews 125 g gives 4–5 portions; this information applies to that specific listing.
Check the weight and any portion information for the exact product. Divide the contents yourself if that better suits how much you want to take with you.
A preparation method or salt option doesn’t make cashews suitable for someone with a diagnosed cashew allergy. Stichting Voedselallergie states that the allergen remains stable when heated.
Don’t offer cashews to anyone with a cashew allergy. If they have other allergies, check the ingredients and warnings on the pack.
‘Oven roasted’, ‘unsalted’ and ‘no added oil’ don’t mean the same thing. According to Duyvis, the description ‘oven-roasted without added oil’ applies to Cashews Original; this doesn’t automatically apply to Sea Salt.
Check the full product name and ingredients list. Consider the salt, oil and preparation method separately.
On 20 May 2026, the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority warned of possible metal fragments in Trader Joe’s unsalted cashews 170 g, barcode 2003020120930, with a best-before date of 23-09-2026. The warning applies to that specific batch, not all ALDI cashews. The stated best-before date has passed, but that doesn’t make the affected batch safe to eat.
If there’s a warning, compare the product name, barcode and date with the pack. Don’t eat the product from the specified batch.
Dividing a larger pack yourself takes a little preparation. Nuts can deteriorate if they’re stored incorrectly; the Voedingscentrum advises keeping them in a cool, dark, dry place.
Weigh out the amount you want to take with you and seal the pack well at home. Follow the storage advice on the product label too.

Check this product listing carefully if you’re looking for a specific Duyvis option.
The title says Dry Roasted, while the description refers to Duyvis Sea Salt Cashews. It gives 4–5 portions and lists salt, wheat and peanuts among the ingredients. Check the exact pack and allergen information.
Not necessarily. The Joybuy listing for Duyvis Sea Salt Cashews 125 g gives 4–5 portions; this applies to that specific listing. Check the portion information for the product you’re buying.
Put the amount you want in a tightly sealed container before you go. The Voedingscentrum advises storing nuts in a cool, dark, dry place. Seal the larger pack well at home too, and follow the label.
The Voedingscentrum says opened unsalted cashews can be kept for six months in a kitchen cupboard or one year in the freezer; after that, their quality may deteriorate. Follow the label and don’t apply this advice to seasoned varieties without checking first. Nuts that taste rancid, feel tough or have mould on them are signs of spoilage.
Compare the net weight of each individual pack and check whether portion information is provided. For a multipack, check how many grams are in each bag; for a larger pack, think about how much you want to weigh out and how you’ll store the remainder.
