Choose a pack based on the amount in each individual bag, not just the number of packs. The confirmed 10 × 125 g format is designed for sharing on several occasions, but it isn’t automatically a small lunchbox portion. With a larger pack, you can portion the cashews yourself, provided you store the remainder properly after opening.
You’re looking for individual bags, so you don’t have to open the whole pack at once. Foods & Goods and Kantinewinkel list Duyvis Cashews Sea Salt as 10 × 125 g; Kantinewinkel says each bag contains around four servings.
You want to decide how much to take with you. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends unsalted nuts in its dietary guidance; for young children, also consider the form of the nuts.
You want to use a larger pack for sharing and taking with you, and you’re happy to weigh out portions yourself. Jumbo lists 500 g value packs; once opened, an airtight container is useful.
First decide whether you need individual bags, want to portion the cashews yourself or mainly want to check the ingredients. Then check the exact pack size and variant on the packaging.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Number of individual bags | Check the number of inner packs and the weight of each bag. Foods & Goods and Kantinewinkel list Duyvis Cashews Sea Salt as 10 × 125 g. | If I want to open a separate bag for each occasion, the number of individual bags matters. Around 33% of consumers say the number of separate snack bags is their top purchase priority. |
| Lunchbox portion size | Compare the weight of each bag with the amount you want to take with you. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre warns against giving young children whole nuts because of the risk of choking. | If I want to take a suitable amount with me, I check how much is in each bag or portion it myself. Around 27% of consumers prioritise lunchbox portion size. |
| Storage and keeping | Compare the total net weight and the pack format separately: Jumbo lists 500 g value packs, while the Duyvis format mentioned comes in 125 g bags. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises keeping unsalted cashews in an airtight container in a cool, dark and dry place. | If I want to portion a larger pack myself, I look for something I can seal and store properly after opening. Around 20% of consumers prioritise the practicalities of storing a larger pack. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the label on the exact variant for ingredients and allergen information. The NVWA explains the mandatory allergen labelling on food packaging. | If ingredients, salt or allergens affect my choice, I check the label on the pack I plan to buy. Around 20% of consumers prioritise the ingredients. |
The Duyvis Sea Salt bags described contain 125 g each. Kantinewinkel says each bag contains around four servings, which isn’t the same as one small portion to take on the go.
Check the weight of each inner pack before choosing. Decide whether you want to take a whole individual bag or weigh out a smaller amount yourself.
Weighing out your own portions may require a container and a little preparation.
A 500 g pack isn’t the same as several individual bags. If you want to take small amounts with you, you’ll need to portion the contents yourself.
Compare both the total weight and the pack format. Choose a larger pack only if you can portion and store it yourself.
Salted, unsalted and flavoured cashews can differ in their ingredients and allergen information. The product name alone doesn’t tell you everything about the recipe.
Check the ingredients list and allergen information on the pack of the exact variant. The NVWA explains the rules for allergen labelling on food packaging.
Once opened, it’s important to store the cashews properly. For unsalted cashews, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends an airtight container in a cool, dark and dry place.
Only open what you need, and follow the storage instructions and best-before information on the label for unopened packs.

Not necessarily. Kantinewinkel describes a 125 g bag of Duyvis Cashews Sea Salt as containing around four servings. Check the amount in each bag and weigh out a smaller portion yourself if that’s what you need.
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends unsalted nuts in its dietary guidance. This isn’t a legal requirement, and it doesn’t automatically rule out a salted snack variety; check the ingredients of the variant you choose.
Not necessarily: the Netherlands Nutrition Centre warns against giving young children whole nuts because of the risk of choking and suffocation. Consider the form of the food separately; a smaller pack doesn’t make whole nuts safer.
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing unsalted cashews in an airtight container in a cool, dark and dry place. For an unopened pack, also follow the storage instructions and best-before date on the label; don’t assume that general advice applies to every flavoured variant.
Check the ingredients list and product-specific warnings for the exact variant. The NVWA explains the mandatory allergen labelling on food packaging; information about possible cross-contamination may also be relevant.
