Choose individual snack boxes if you want small portions ready to add to lunch boxes or hand out; compare both the number of boxes and the weight of each one. A larger bag is a better choice if you want to portion it yourself and use raisins at home too. Keep portions small, and check the ingredients and allergens for the exact product variant.
Handy if you want to get portions ready for school in advance. Check the number of boxes and the weight of each one, rather than looking only at the pack’s total weight. For the raisin multipacks mentioned, Albert Heijn and Jumbo list portions of 14 grams.
If you need portions for different children or occasions, count the boxes and compare that number with your plans. Also check the ingredients and allergen information before choosing a product variant.
A larger bag may suit you if you use raisins at home and want to decide how much to pack for school yourself. Once opened, follow the storage instructions on the pack; PLUS advises storing its stand-up pouch in a cool, dry, dark place.
First decide whether you want ready-portioned snack boxes or would rather portion the fruit yourself. Then compare the number of portions, the weight per portion and the ingredients of the exact product variant.
