If you want to take coated peanuts with you or hand them out without weighing them, individually wrapped snack packs are made for the job: Foods & Goods lists a Duyvis pack containing 20 bags of 45 g each. For sharing from larger packs, Albert Heijn’s Duyvis Provencale 4-pack is another option, with four 275 g bags; a single bag means portioning them yourself. When choosing, check the number of inner packs, the weight per bag, and the ingredients and allergens on the packaging.
You want to take an individually wrapped snack with you alongside your sandwich, without weighing it out first. Foods & Goods lists Duyvis Provencale in 20 bags of 45 g each; Albert Heijn’s Duyvis 4-pack contains four bags of 275 g each. So check both the number of inner packs and the weight per bag.
You’re buying for a shared lunch and want to decide whether everyone gets their own bag or you share from a larger one. The product information from Foods & Goods and Albert Heijn shows that 20 small bags and four larger bags offer different ways to share.
You want to decide for yourself how many coated peanuts to take and are comparing single bags with individually wrapped snacks. Jumbo lists Duyvis Provencale in a single 125 g bag; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing opened coated peanuts in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, dark place.
Start by deciding whether you want to take an individual bag with you, share with others or portion out an amount from a single bag yourself.
| What to consider | What to look for when buying | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Ready to take with you | Check the number of individual bags, the weight per bag and whether they’re individually wrapped. | If I want to take something with me alongside my sandwich without weighing it out, I look for small, sealed bags. Around 36% of consumers prioritise grab-and-go convenience. |
| Sharing or eating together | Decide how many individual bags you need and how much you want to open at each lunch. | For a shared lunch, I want to know whether everyone gets their own bag or we share from a larger pack. Around 29% of consumers prioritise sharing. |
| Quantity and leftovers | Compare the total amount with how much you expect to use, and check the storage advice for after opening. | If I don’t know how much people will eat, I want to choose an amount I can finish and store the rest properly. Around 21% of consumers focus mainly on quantity and leftovers. |
| Ingredients and portion size | Check the ingredients, allergens and precautionary warnings on the packaging you receive. | If I need to consider the ingredients or want to choose my own portion size, I check the label and portion it myself if needed. Around 14% of consumers focus on ingredients and portion control. |
A multipack may consist of larger bags. Albert Heijn’s Duyvis Provencale 4-pack contains four 275 g bags; the Foods & Goods pack contains 20 bags of 45 g each.
Check both the number of packs and the weight per pack before choosing.
The Foods & Goods snack box contains 900 g in total. So the number of bags alone doesn’t tell you how many coated peanuts you’ll be taking with you overall.
Choose a total amount that suits your needs and only open what you need.
Ingredients and the risk of cross-contamination vary by product. Jumbo’s product information for 125 g of Duyvis Provencale lists peanuts and wheat; PLUS’s information for Mild lists peanuts, wheat, celery and milk, among other ingredients.
Check the label for the exact variant and ask about relevant allergies when sharing. Consider listed allergens and precautionary warnings separately.

Check whether the snack is individually wrapped and look at the weight per bag. This helps you tell the difference between small bags that are ready to take with you and larger bags that you’ll need to portion out yourself.
Store them in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, dark place. For opened coated peanuts, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends 2–5 days in a kitchen cupboard; also follow the storage instructions on your pack.
Check the ingredients and any precautionary warnings on the exact pack. Jumbo’s product information for 125 g of Duyvis Provencale lists peanuts and wheat; the possible presence of other allergens varies by product and variant.
You can’t tell from the weight alone. The Joybuy product name refers to one 275 g pack; check the product information to see whether it contains individual inner bags. If you want to take smaller amounts with you, you’ll need to portion them out from a single bag.
