For a single snack break, portioning your cashews in advance is a practical choice: a 125 g pack may contain several servings according to the label. If you want to keep some for later, look for a resealable pack. For a savoury option, compare the salt content and ingredients of the exact flavour, as roasted does not automatically mean unsalted.
You want to take a portioned snack with you and have as little left over in an opened pack as possible. Albert Heijn lists four to five servings for Duyvis Oven roasted cashews salted, 125 g; Jumbo gives around five servings for its unsalted 130 g pack.

You want to enjoy unsalted cashews over several occasions. Jumbo describes its 130 g pack as easy to reseal; also check the ingredients and how much you want to take with you.
First decide whether you want to take one portion or keep some for later. Then compare the flavour and ingredients of the exact product variant.
| What to consider | What should you look for? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Portion and packaging | Check the net weight, servings shown on the label, closure and weight of each item in a multipack. | If I’m taking one snack and want as little left over as possible, I look at the servings and closure; around 36% of consumers have this packaging need as their main priority. |
| Savoury flavour | Compare the flavour, ingredients and salt per 100 g; the name of the cooking method doesn’t tell you how much salt it contains. | For a drink with a roasted or seasoned snack, I want to know the ingredients of that particular flavour; around 29% of consumers prioritise a savoury flavour above all else. |
| Salt and portion size | Distinguish added salt from total salt and check the portion size stated for the product. | If I want a less salty snack and would like to measure out my portion, I compare the label information; around 21% of consumers have this need as their main priority. |
| Portioning and storage | Check how much is in each pack and how you can seal and store the rest after opening. | If I want to enjoy or share my cashews over several occasions, I look at the weight per item and the storage instructions; around 14% of consumers have this as their main priority. |
Albert Heijn’s product information describes the unsalted cashew 3-pack as three separate 170 g packs. The salted bundle contains three 225 g packs, so the number of packs doesn’t tell you how many snack portions they contain.
Check the weight of each pack and the number of servings shown on the label before choosing a multipack.
Three separate packs also need more storage space than one small snack pack.
