Weighing your snack is a practical way to make it lighter; unsalted cashews or nuts roasted without added oil are not automatically low in fat. The Joybuy products below list 43 to 60,1 g of fat per 100 g. For a ‘low fat’ claim, solid foods must contain no more than 3 g per 100 g, according to the European Commission. The Voedingscentrum gives 25 g of unsalted cashews as an example portion containing 154 kcal, not as personal dietary advice.
You want to keep enjoying cashews while watching TV and, above all, choose how much you snack on. Weighing a portion and adjusting the nutritional values to the amount you eat can help you make an informed choice. The Voedingscentrum gives 25 g as an example portion.
You’re specifically looking for ‘reduced fat’ or ‘low fat’ and don’t want to confuse this with unsalted nuts or a product made without added oil. Compare the nutritional information and the exact claim for the specific variety; the European Commission sets the limit for a ‘low fat’ claim.
You want an unsalted snack and are also choosing between options such as roasted and unroasted. PLUS lists an unsalted, unroasted variety, while ALDI lists roasted, unsalted cashews.
First decide what matters most to you: portion size, a substantiated low-fat claim, salt content or packaging. Then compare the exact product variety.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Portion and nutritional information | Weigh the amount you eat and compare nutritional values per 100 g. The Voedingscentrum gives 25 g and 154 kcal as an example for unsalted cashews. | If you want to decide for yourself how much you eat while watching TV, portion size matters more than the size of the bag. Around 36% of consumers put portion control first. |
| The low-fat claim | Check the claim and total fat per 100 g on the packaging. For a ‘low fat’ claim on solid foods, the limit is 3 g per 100 g, according to the European Commission. | If you’re specifically looking for a substantiated low-fat claim, you’ll want to assess the exact variety and its nutritional information. Around 29% of consumers give confidence in the claim top priority. |
| Salt and preparation | Check whether the variety is unsalted, unroasted or roasted. These characteristics alone don’t mean the product contains less fat. | If you want an unsalted snack and also prefer it roasted or unroasted, check both characteristics separately. Around 21% of consumers prioritise this combination. |
| Packaging and storage | Choose a net weight that suits how you’ll use the nuts; store them in a cool, dry place in a sealed container. The Voedingscentrum gives 10 to 15 °C as a cool storage temperature. | If you want to avoid leaving a large bag open for too long, check its size and how you can store the rest. Around 14% of consumers prioritise packaging that suits their needs. |
Salt content and preparation method are not the same as total fat content. For a ‘low fat’ claim on solid foods, the European Commission sets a limit of 3 g of fat per 100 g.
Check the total fat per 100 g and the exact claim on the packaging. Assess salt content and preparation method separately.
Nutritional values per portion can differ because the portion sizes chosen are not the same. Values per 100 g give you a consistent basis for comparing labels.
Compare the values per 100 g first, then work out the amount you want to weigh out for yourself.
Duyvis describes Cashews Original as oven-roasted without added oil. Joybuy’s product information for Cashews Sea Salt lists sunflower oil as an ingredient, so the varieties are not interchangeable.
Use only the ingredients and nutritional information for the full name of the variety you’re buying.
Nuts should be stored in a sealed container in a dry place. A bag that doesn’t suit how much you eat can be inconvenient and leave you with unused nuts.
Choose packaging that suits your needs and seal the rest properly after weighing out a portion.
