What should you look for when buying?
First decide how much you want to eat at each snack occasion. Then choose the salt variety and preparation method, and pick a pack size that suits sharing or storage.
| What to consider |
What to look for |
Who is this most relevant to? |
| Portion and net weight |
Compare the pack size with the amount you want to take with you or set aside. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 g as a general serving for a handful of unsalted nuts; this isn’t a required portion for everyone. |
If I want to decide how much to snack on in advance, I look at the net weight and any portion information. Around 33% of consumers prioritise portion control. |
| Choosing unsalted |
Check the salt variety on the pack. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre includes unsalted nuts in its Wheel of Five healthy eating guidelines; unsalted doesn’t automatically mean unroasted. |
If you’re looking for unsalted cashews first and foremost, check the variety, then look at how they’re prepared. Around 27% of consumers prioritise this choice. |
| Flavour and preparation |
Read the variety name and preparation method. Duyvis describes Cashews Original as oven-roasted without added oil; that alone doesn’t mean the product is unsalted. |
If a particular flavour or preparation is the deciding factor for my TV snack, I check these details separately on the pack. Around 20% of consumers prioritise flavour or preparation. |
| Sharing and storage |
Choose a total weight that suits the number of snack occasions, and follow the storage instructions on the pack after opening. Jumbo also lists cashews in 500 g packs. |
If I’m sharing or planning snacks for several evenings, I check whether the amount suits my needs and whether I can store the remainder. Around 20% of consumers prioritise sharing or stocking up. |

Frequently asked questions
Is a 125 g bag of cashews meant to be eaten by one person in one sitting?
Not necessarily. Joybuy Netherlands lists Duyvis Sea Salt Cashews in a 125 g pack as containing 4–5 portions. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 g as a general serving for a handful of unsalted nuts; this isn’t a required portion for everyone.
Are unsalted cashews always unroasted?
No. ALDI lists 250 g of roasted, unsalted cashews, while PLUS lists 200 g of unsalted, unroasted cashews. So check the salt variety and preparation method separately.
Does a 3-pack mean you get three small snack portions?
No. Albert Heijn lists a 3-pack of unsalted cashews, but multipacks can contain several full-size packs too. Check the net weight of each inner pack before choosing it as a portion-sized option.
How should you store cashews after measuring out a portion?
First, follow the storage instructions on the pack. As additional guidance, Noten.nl recommends storing almost all of its nut products in an airtight container in a cool, dark place; this isn’t a fixed shelf life for other products.
Which recall warning applies to ALDI cashews?
The NVWA warning dated 20 May 2026 concerns ALDI TRADER JOE'S Unsalted Cashews, 170 g, with barcode 2003020120930 and best-before date 23-09-2026. That date has passed, but do not eat any remaining pack from this specific batch. The warning doesn’t automatically apply to the 250 g ALDI pack.
