A nut mix may seem simple to choose, but the differences between cocktail nuts, coated peanuts and mixed nuts can be significant. Some packs contain mainly peanuts with a crunchy coating, while others consist of unsalted nuts or a combination of nuts and dried fruit. Pack size, allergens and salt content can also vary considerably from one product to another.
If you simply buy nuts based on attractive packaging, you could end up with a snack that is not suitable for the occasion. That is why it is worth paying particular attention to the following pitfalls.
A 300-gram bag may seem convenient for a party, but is less practical if you are looking for a small portion to take with you. Conversely, a small jar can soon run out when you want to serve nuts with drinks to several people. So do not just compare the price: also check the weight per pack and the number of individual portions.
In seasoned nuts and coated peanuts, a significant proportion may sometimes consist of starch, oil, sugar and flavourings. That is not necessarily a problem, but it does give the product a different character from a mix containing almonds, walnuts, cashews or hazelnuts. Always check the ingredient order: ingredients are generally listed from the largest to the smallest proportion.
Nuts, peanuts, milk, wheat, soya and sesame are commonly found in cocktail nuts. A product may also contain traces of other nuts. The product description and the label should match accurately. If the information conflicts, it is best to follow the details on the current packaging and contact the manufacturer if in doubt. This is particularly important if you have an allergy or intolerance.
For everyday use, unsalted nuts or unroasted mixed nuts are often better suited to those who prefer a neutral flavour. According to the product information, g'woon Unroasted Mixed Nuts consists of 30% hazelnuts, 30% walnuts, 20% almonds and 20% cashews. The nutritional information states 0 grams of salt per 100 grams.
If you are looking for a snack for a party, salted nuts, cocktail nuts and coated peanuts are natural choices. With these varieties, pay attention to the proportion of peanuts and the amount of coating. A BBQ, Provençal or Oriental seasoning mix may, for example, contain ingredients such as wheat starch, milk derivatives, sugar or flavour enhancers.
Always compare nutritional values per 100 grams, rather than per portion alone. This makes different packs easier to compare. In the product information provided, for example, salt content ranges from 0 grams in the unsalted g'woon mix to 2.1 grams per 100 grams in g'woon Spicy Cocktail Nuts.
The sugar content may also be higher in nuts with dried fruit. g'woon Cashew Nut Cranberry Mix contains 50% cashews and 50% sweetened dried cranberries. The packaging states 32.5 grams of sugar per 100 grams. This makes the mix sweeter than a pure nut mix, making it suitable for anyone looking for a combination of soft fruit flavour and crunchy nuts.
A resealable jar or bag helps to preserve the crunch after opening, provided you close the packaging properly and store it in a dry place. Individual portions are easier to manage at work, while travelling or at school. ChaCha Daily Nuts comes in 5 portions of 23 grams, with walnuts, raisins, cranberries, cashews, almonds and hazelnuts.
Also check the best-before information on the packaging. The date may vary between production batches. Store nut mix in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, heat and moisture. Discard the product if the packaging is damaged or if the smell and flavour have clearly changed.

For drinks and nibbles, salted nuts, cocktail nuts and seasoned nuts are popular choices. Choose a larger pack if you are sharing with several people. Check in advance that the flavour complements the drinks and that any allergens present are not an issue.
According to the product information for the relevant product, unsalted nuts contain no added salt. However, nutritional values and ingredients vary from one mix to another. Always check the current label and pay attention to the portion size.
