Individual boxes are handy for lunchboxes and sharing when you want pre-measured portions; a large bag is a better choice if you want to portion the fruit yourself and use raisins for breakfast or baking too. Compare the number of boxes and the weight per portion, and check the ingredients, allergen information and storage advice for the exact variety.

How long a pack lasts also depends on how much you use and how you store it after opening.
