Who might coated peanuts be a good choice for?

Mindful snackers

If you want to eat coated peanuts while keeping an eye on your weight, check the energy content of the amount you actually have. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre emphasises that understanding what and how much you eat can help you assess your diet.

Anyone exercising with a protein target

If you’re thinking about getting extra protein around exercise, compare the snack’s contribution with that of other foods. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists quark, yoghurt, milk, tofu, nuts and beans, among other options, for additional protein.

Portion-conscious snack buyers

A pack containing individual sachets can make it practical to set aside an amount. For the Duyvis Provencale multipack reviewed, Foods & Goods lists twenty 45 g sachets; this pack size is not a personal portion recommendation.

What should you look for when choosing?

What to consider What to look for Who is this important for?
Energy in your portion Check the kcal per 100 g and weigh the amount you eat. Use the label value and the number of grams to calculate the figures for the same product. If I’m keeping an eye on my weight, I want to know how much energy my weighed snack provides; around 34% of consumers rank energy as their top purchasing priority.
Protein content Compare protein and kcal on the same basis, and calculate both for the same amount. A protein claim alone does not prove that a product aids recovery. When I’m considering coated peanuts as part of a shop for exercise, I want to assess their protein content alongside their energy; around 33% of consumers give protein the highest priority in this context.
Setting aside an amount Check the weight of each inner sachet, the number of sachets and the storage instructions. A small pack is not automatically a suitable portion. If I want to set aside an amount for a snack in advance, I look for a pack size that makes this practical; around 20% of consumers prioritise portion planning.
Total pack size Check the net weight and the number of inner packs, so you know how much you’re bringing home and storing. If I don’t want to buy more snacks than I plan to use, I check the total contents; around 13% of consumers rank pack size as their top priority.

Common things to watch out for

  • Eating more to get extra protein

    Based on the nutritional values per 100 g listed by PLUS, the full 125 g pack of Duyvis Cocktail contains 18,75 g of protein and 676,25 kcal. Eating more of the same product therefore increases both your protein and energy intake.

    Calculate the protein and energy for the same weighed amount, and consider these figures as part of your overall diet.

  • Assuming a 45 g sachet is the right portion for you

    According to Foods & Goods, the Duyvis Provencale multipack reviewed contains twenty 45 g sachets. This fixed pack size doesn’t tell you whether the contents fit your eating plan.

    First decide how much you want to eat, then use the nutritional values for that exact flavour and pack.

  • Treating every flavour and pack as the same

    The Duyvis Cocktail pack reviewed lists peanuts, wheat and milk as allergens present. The manufacturer lists possible traces of milk, soya, mustard and various nuts for Provencale.

    Check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional values on the exact pack you choose.
