For gaming or lunchboxes, individual boxes are handy if you want to prepare portions in advance; choose the number of boxes to suit the snack occasions you have planned. AH Hamsterchef Raisins contains 10 boxes of 14 grams, while Jumbo Sweet Raisins contains 14 boxes of 14 grams. With a large bag, you’ll need to weigh out and store the portions yourself. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends eating no more than 20 grams of dried fruit a day; this is dietary advice, not a legal limit on purchases.
If you want to prepare a snack for each player without having to divide up a large bag first, check how many boxes are included. Albert Heijn lists 10 boxes of 14 grams for its regular Hamsterchef raisins, while Jumbo lists 14 boxes of 14 grams for its Sweet Raisins.
For small portions to take with you, each of the AH and Jumbo boxes mentioned contains 14 grams. When planning, remember to include any other dried fruit you eat that day.
If you’d rather weigh out the portions yourself, you could also look at larger packs. The PLUS and ALDI bags mentioned aren’t multipacks: you’ll need to portion out the contents yourself and seal the opened pack properly.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this for? |
|---|---|---|
| Number of individual portions | Count the inner packs and check the weight of each box; AH and Jumbo both list 14 grams per box. | If I’m preparing snacks for several players or lunchboxes, I want enough individual boxes; around 33% of consumers say the number of individual portions is their top priority when buying. |
| Portion size | Check the weight of each box and the nutritional information per portion. Remember to count any other dried fruit you eat that day. | If I want to set a limit on the amount in advance, I look beyond a single box and consider other snack occasions too; around 27% of consumers put portion control first. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant and pack. The AH apple variant lists sulphites; Jumbo mentions the possible presence of several allergens. | If I’m choosing snacks for myself or someone else, I want to know whether the exact ingredients meet any relevant preferences or allergy requirements; around 20% of consumers make ingredients their top priority. |
| Portioning and storing it yourself | A large bag means weighing out the portions yourself and using a container that seals well. Compare this with the convenience of ready-portioned boxes. | If I can prepare portions at home, I’m happy to divide them up myself as long as I can store the rest properly; around 20% of consumers say portioning it themselves is their top priority when buying. |
A 375- or 500-gram bag, for example, isn’t the same as a multipack of pre-portioned boxes. Portioning it yourself takes preparation and requires a suitable way to store the rest.
Before buying, check how many inner packs there are and how many grams each box contains. If you choose a large bag, decide how you’ll weigh out and store the portions too.
Weighing and portioning it yourself takes time; you may also need your own containers with secure lids.
Albert Heijn lists 0 grams of added sugars and 65 grams of total sugars per 100 grams for AH Hamsterchef Raisins. These are two different figures.
Check both total and added sugars on the label, and pay attention to the stated portion size.
The AH variant with apple pieces lists sulphur dioxide (E220, sulphites). Jumbo Sweet Raisins lists the possible presence of nuts, milk and soya, among other allergens.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack, especially if you’re preparing snacks for someone else.
