Who are these options for?

A portion to take with you or enjoy in front of the TV

You want to prepare or take a set amount with you. A 125 g bag isn’t necessarily one eating portion; Joybuy Netherlands’ product description lists Duyvis Sea Salt Cashews as containing 4–5 portions.

Shoppers looking for unsalted cashews

You choose unsalted cashews, then decide whether you want them roasted or unroasted. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre includes unsalted nuts in its Wheel of Five healthy eating guidelines.

Sharing or planning several snack occasions

You’re looking for a pack you can share between several people or enjoy over a few evenings. Jumbo lists cashews in packs of 500 g, among other sizes; also check how to store the remainder after opening.

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.

Common buying mistakes

  • Assuming a small bag is one eating portion

    A 125 g bag isn’t automatically intended to be eaten in one sitting. Joybuy Netherlands lists the Duyvis sea salt variety as containing 4–5 portions.

    Decide in advance how much you want to take with you or serve, then compare that with the pack size and any portion information.

  • Assuming a multipack is made up of individual portions

    The name ‘3-pack’ doesn’t tell you how much is in each inner pack. Albert Heijn also lists multipacks as several items offered at a volume discount.

    Check the number of packs and the net weight of each one before choosing the product for individual snack occasions.

    Otherwise, you could end up with more left over than you need for a single snack occasion.

  • Assuming no added oil means unsalted

    The manufacturer describes Duyvis Cashews Original as oven-roasted without added oil. Preparation method and salt variety are separate product characteristics.

    Check both the salt variety and the preparation method on the current pack.

  • Buying a large pack without a way to store it

    You can divide a larger pack between several snack occasions, but after opening you should follow the product’s storage instructions.

    Choose an amount that suits your needs, and check whether you can seal and store the remainder as directed on the pack.

Brands with relevant cashew varieties

Duyvis

There are varieties for anyone looking for a savoury flavour, including a sea salt option and Cashews Original.

  • Duyvis describes Cashews Original as oven-roasted without added oil; the listed pack size is 125 g.
  • The manufacturer’s description of the flavour and crunch isn’t an independent assessment. The sea salt variety is a separate product, and 125 g isn’t the same as one portion.

Albert Heijn

The own-brand range includes unsalted cashews, with a separate listing for an unsalted 3-pack.

  • The product name confirms it’s a 3-pack.
  • The name alone doesn’t tell you the weight of each inner pack or prove that they’re three small eating portions. Check the current packaging.

Jumbo

Product listings include salted, unsalted and unroasted cashew varieties.

  • Jumbo lists 200 g varieties and 500 g value packs, including salted and unsalted options.
  • The weight and variety don’t tell you whether every pack can be resealed. Check the packaging and storage instructions.

Lidl

Way To Go cashews may be worth considering if the supply chain described is important to you.

  • Lidl says the cashews are processed in Tanzania before being sent to the Netherlands. Lidl also reports that participating farmers receive an additional premium on top of the Fairtrade minimum price and premium.
  • This supply chain description doesn’t automatically apply to all Lidl cashews, and it doesn’t mean that there’s a specific portion-sized pack.

ALDI

TRADER JOE'S cashews are listed as a roasted, unsalted variety in a 250 g pack.

  • ALDI Netherlands’ product page confirms the preparation method, salt variety and 250 g pack size.
  • The pack isn’t automatically one portion. An NVWA warning for a specific 170 g batch doesn’t necessarily apply to this product or the entire range.

PLUS

The listed own-brand variety is unsalted and unroasted, in a 200 g pack.

  • PLUS lists home delivery and collection as ordering options for this product.
  • Product information and origin may change; check the current label and order details.

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.
