If you want something ready to take along or hand out, choose a product with individual bags. Duyvis Borrelnootjes Provencale is available in a 20-pack, with 45 g in each bag. If unsalted nuts and choosing your own portion size matter more, a larger bag of unsalted mixed nuts that you can weigh out yourself is a better fit. Whichever option you choose, check the ingredients, allergens and quantity per pack.
You want to take your own bag of snacks with you over New Year’s Eve, or have individual bags ready for guests, without weighing out portions in advance. According to product information from Albert Heijn and Sligro, the Duyvis Provencale pack contains 20 bags of 45 g each.
You mainly want unsalted nuts and to choose your own portion size. A larger bag of unsalted mixed nuts could suit you if you want to weigh out portions in advance; Albert Heijn lists 20 portions of 25 g in its 500 g mix.
You’re buying for several people and want to know which ingredients and allergens are in each variety before serving. Seasoned party nuts and unsalted nut mixes have different ingredients, and a vegan label doesn’t mean a product is allergen-free.
Choose this if: you want a ready-to-go snack for yourself or bags to hand out. Duyvis Provencale is available in packs of 20 bags, each containing 45 g.
Bear in mind: this is a seasoned peanut product, not an unsalted nut mix; the product information lists peanuts and wheat.
Choose this if: unsalted nuts and choosing your own portion size are your priorities. AH and PLUS offer 500 g unsalted mixes, according to their product descriptions.
Bear in mind: you’ll need to weigh and pack the portions yourself. A portion size listed on a large bag doesn’t mean it contains individual bags.
Choose this if: you’ll mainly be snacking together in one place and individual portions aren’t essential. Jumbo lists 200 g nut mixes; Lidl lists a 200 g unroasted, unsalted mix.
Bear in mind: if you want a portion to take with you, you’ll still need to divide the snacks and pack them in a resealable container or bag.

Check the ingredients list and any warnings about possible cross-contamination for each variety. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergens present must be clearly identifiable in the ingredients list. From 1 January 2026, Dutch rules also apply to warnings about possible cross-contamination; this labelling isn’t a personal guarantee that a product is suitable for everyone.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack for the variety you’ve chosen. Albert Heijn recommends storing the nut mix in a cool, dry place and sealing it well; for Duyvis Provencale, it recommends an airtight, light-proof container. Voedingscentrum advises keeping nuts tightly sealed and dry, preferably in a cool place.
No, Voedingscentrum advises against giving whole nuts or peanuts to children under 4 because of the risk of choking. This advice applies to young children; it isn’t a general restriction for other people.
