Who is this buying guide for?

Snacks to take along or hand out

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.

Mindful portion choosers

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.

Hosts catering for different dietary needs

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.

What should you look for when buying?

Individual bags

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.

Portioning it yourself

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.

A larger bag to share

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.

What to consider What should you check? Who is this important to?
A portion to take with you Check the number of individual bags and the weight of each one; a portion size isn’t the same as an inner pack. If you want to take one bag with you or hand out snacks, the quantity in each bag matters. Around 31% of consumers prioritise individual portions that are ready to use.
Unsalted nuts and portion control Check the ingredients and listed salt content, and decide how many grams you want to weigh out. The 25 g on the AH pack is the portion size listed there. If you want unsalted nuts and to choose how much to take with you, the mix’s ingredients are key. Around 19% of consumers prioritise this combination of needs.
Your preferred savoury snack flavour Check whether the product contains nuts, peanuts or coated peanuts, and see which flavourings are listed. If you’re looking for a seasoned snack or the flavour of a particular nut mix, compare the ingredients and product description. Around 19% of consumers place the greatest importance on their preferred flavour.
Ingredients and allergens Check which allergens are highlighted in the ingredients list, and read any warnings about possible cross-contamination. If you’re buying snacks for different people, an ingredient or warning could determine which variety you choose. Around 19% of consumers prioritise checking ingredients and allergens.
Quantity to suit your budget Compare the total quantity and the number of snack occasions it will cover. If you’re portioning it yourself, factor in the time and packaging materials too. If you want to work out in advance how many snacks fit your budget, consider both the pack format and the quantity. Around 12% of consumers prioritise the total cost and usable quantity.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a vegan label means it’s suitable for everyone

    The product information for Duyvis Provencale lists peanuts and wheat. A dietary label doesn’t rule out allergens.

    Check the ingredients and any cross-contamination warnings for the people who’ll be eating the snack.

  • Confusing a large bag with individual portion bags

    A pack listing several portions doesn’t mean each portion is individually wrapped.

    Check how many inner packs there are. Choose a larger bag only if portioning it yourself or sharing it suits your plans.

  • Assuming party nuts are the same as plain unsalted nuts

    Duyvis describes its Borrelnootjes as peanuts coated in batter. They have different ingredients from an unsalted nut mix.

    Compare the ingredients and choose the snack you’re looking for, rather than relying on the word ‘nuts’ alone.

Frequently asked questions

Is the listed portion the same as an individual bag?

No, a portion size doesn’t automatically mean that the portion is packed separately. Duyvis Provencale is described as 20 individual bags of 45 g each; the 500 g AH Nut Mix lists 20 portions of 25 g. Check the packaging to see whether the portions are actually in individual bags.

What should I check for allergens in nut snacks?

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.

How should I store nuts once the pack is open?

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.

Can children under 4 eat whole nuts or peanuts?

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.
