First decide whether you want to take one measured portion with you or need cashews for several occasions. Duyvis Sea Salt is available in a 125 g pack, but that doesn’t automatically make it one portion. Choose unsalted if avoiding added salt is your priority, and compare the ingredients and nutritional information for the exact variety of salted or flavoured cashews.
If you want to decide in advance how much to take with you, check the net weight and any portion guidance. Even a smaller shop-bought pack may contain several portions. Weighing out a portion yourself and sealing the rest properly is another option. The Voedingscentrum gives 25 g as an example of a handful of unsalted nuts.
If you prefer a salted or flavoured variety, compare the exact product and its ingredients list. Duyvis describes Original as oven-roasted without added oil; that product feature doesn’t automatically apply to Sea Salt. Lidl lists both unsalted and spicy roasted varieties for the product reviewed.
A larger pack may suit you if you want snacks for several occasions and can portion out and seal the contents yourself. Unsalted doesn’t automatically mean unroasted or oil-free: ALDI describes its 250 g variety as roasted and unsalted, while Jumbo lists sunflower oil in its 500 g unsalted pack.
First decide how many cashews you want to take for one occasion. Then compare the flavour, ingredients and pack size with how often you’ll use the rest.
| What to consider | What should you look for? | Who might this matter to? |
|---|---|---|
| Portion size | Compare the net weight with how much you want to take; check whether the pack really contains individual sachets. | If I want one measured portion for the journey, I check whether I’ll need to portion it out myself; around 31% of consumers prioritise portion size and portability. |

Choose the exact variety you want and check the ingredients and nutritional information on the pack. Unsalted, unroasted and made without added oil don’t mean the same thing. An unsalted variety, for example, may be roasted or contain oil.
Store the nuts in a well-sealed container somewhere cool, dark and dry, as recommended by the Voedingscentrum. For an unopened shop-bought pack, also follow the storage instructions and check the best-before date on the packaging.
According to the Nederlandse Voedsel- en Warenautoriteit, allergen information for pre-packed products must appear on the label. Also read any information about possible traces if that’s relevant to you. Duyvis Sea Salt, for example, lists wheat, peanuts and other nuts.
