If you want to grab a pack without weighing anything, choose a multipack that clearly states the number of packs and the weight of each one. Duyvis Provençale, for example, is listed as 20 packs of 45 g; a larger bag is another option if you’d prefer to portion it yourself. When packing lunch for yourself or someone else, always check the ingredients and warnings on the packaging.
