Choose individual packs if you want something ready to take with you; choose a resealable or larger pack if you’d like to portion it yourself or share the supply. According to Foods & Goods, the Duyvis portion pack contains 20 x 60 g bags, 1,200 g in total, and is salted. One bag isn’t automatically a suitable portion to eat.
If you want to grab a sealed bag between moving, lectures and travelling, compare the weight per bag with the number of bags and the total pack size. Foods & Goods and Bidfood list the Duyvis portion pack as containing 20 x 60 g bags.
If you want to divide a larger pack into portions to take with you, check the total pack size and how you can seal the rest. ALDI lists a 200 g resealable pack for the hazelnuts reviewed here; the examples reviewed at Jumbo and PLUS come in different pack sizes.
If you’re looking for unsalted nuts, first decide whether you want a single type or a mix. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre distinguishes unsalted nuts from salted nuts and borrelnoten, among other products.
If you’re taking nuts to lectures or your new room, start with the packaging: do you want something ready to grab, to portion yourself or to keep as a supply?
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Ready to take with you | Check the weight per bag, the number of bags and the total pack size. Also check whether you can reseal the pack once it’s open. | If I want something to take with me on a busy moving day or day of lectures without any preparation, convenience matters most to me. Around 28% of consumers put convenience for taking food with them first. |
| Supply and quantity | Compare the total pack size and consider whether you’re buying just for yourself or sharing the supply. A 500 g pack needs a different storage spot from a bag to take on the go. | If I want to choose a quantity that suits my room or share with housemates, I focus on how much I can store. Around 22% of consumers give supply and quantity top priority. |
| Unsalted or savoury | Check the ingredients and see whether salt, seasoning or a coating has been added. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre distinguishes unsalted nuts from salted nuts and borrelnoten. | If I’m looking for unsalted nuts, I don’t want to accidentally choose a salted or seasoned variety. Around 22% of consumers put this choice first. |
| Type and ingredients | Check which types of nuts are listed on the pack, and whether it’s a single type, a mix or peanuts with a coating. | If I have a preference for hazelnuts, a mix or a savoury snack, for example, the ingredients determine my choice. Around 17% of consumers prioritise flavour and ingredients. |
| Allergens and sharing | Read the allergen information and warnings about possible cross-contamination on the current packaging. The NVWA states that allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked products. | If I’m buying nuts for myself or someone else and an allergy is a concern, I check the exact variety and packaging. Around 11% of consumers put checking for allergens first. |
