Several individual packs can be handy if you want to split up your supply; one larger bag is a better fit if you’re sharing the same cashews with housemates and weighing out your own portions. A seasoned 3-pack is a different option: the AH Katsu curry variety contains 150 grams and lists six 25-gram servings. The AH 4-packs, on the other hand, contain four individual packs of 170 or 225 grams each, so the number of packs isn’t the same as the number of lunchbox portions.
You want to take cashews with you and decide how much to pack. So check the amount in each pack and distinguish it from the number of servings. Albert Heijn’s product information makes this difference clear for both the 4-packs and the individual products.
You’re buying for a shared kitchen and choosing between several individual packs or one bag that everyone can help themselves to. Compare the total amount and follow the storage instructions for the specific product; Jumbo, for example, provides these for its 500-gram pack.
You want to choose an unsalted or seasoned variety that suits what you and your housemates eat. Check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variety: unsalted doesn’t automatically mean it contains no oil or other flavourings. Product information from Jumbo, Duyvis and PLUS shows that ingredients can vary.
First decide whether you want to divide up the cashews, weigh them out together or choose a particular flavour. Examples from Albert Heijn and Jumbo show why the number of packs, total amount and serving size are separate details.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who should consider this? |
|---|---|---|
| Lunchbox portions | Check the amount in each pack and the stated serving size separately. | If you want to take a chosen amount with you, check how much you can weigh out each time. Around 46% of consumers put lunchbox portions first. |
| Shared supplies | Compare the total amount and decide whether you want to divide up individual packs or weigh out portions together from one bag. | If several housemates use the same variety, you’ll want a supply that suits the way you use it. Around 36% of consumers prioritise a manageable supply for a shared kitchen. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact flavour and pack. | If you share with housemates, you’ll want to know exactly what’s in the variety you choose and what allergen information is provided. Around 18% of consumers make this their top priority. |
According to Albert Heijn, the AH 4-packs contain four packs of 170 or 225 grams. The AH Katsu curry 3-pack, by contrast, lists six servings in 150 grams in total.
Before choosing, check the number of packs, the amount in each pack and the serving size as separate details.
The two AH unsalted 4-packs we looked at differ in the amount in each pack: 170 versus 225 grams. This also means the total amount is different.
Check the full product name and the amount in each pack, not just the words ‘unsalted 4-pack’.
A different pack size could mean you end up with more or less in your cupboard than you intended.
The Jumbo pack contains sunflower oil. The AH Katsu curry variety contains spices and oil. Duyvis describes its Original variety as roasted without added oil, while the ingredients list includes salt.
Read the ingredients list for the exact variety; the word ‘unsalted’ doesn’t tell you everything about what’s in it.
