For taking on the go, with no preparation
If you want to be able to grab a sealed pack as you leave, individual packs are practical. Duyvis packs are available in 45 g and 60 g sizes; you can decide how much you want to eat during your coffee break.
Who are these packs suitable for?
A regular unsalted routine
If you want to weigh your own portions, consider a multi-portion pack of unsalted nuts. The AH and Jumbo mixes reviewed list 25 g as the labelled portion, but they are not multipacks of individual portion-sized bags. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends a handful of unsalted nuts every day and eating a variety.
A savoury coffee break
If flavour comes first, compare the exact product: salted peanuts and coated snack nuts are different from an unsalted nut mix. Duyvis describes its range as including peanuts, mixes and coated snack nuts; the brand’s product information does not provide an independent comparison of flavour or quality.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide how much preparation and how large a supply suit your morning break. Then check the ingredients and the information on the pack.
Individual packs
Choose this if: you want to take a sealed pack with you without weighing it out in advance. Bidfood Nederland, for example, describes Duyvis peanuts as a box of twenty 60 g packs.
Bear in mind: 60 g is the weight of one pack, and the box contains several packs. Check that this quantity suits how much you’ll use.
Multi-portion bags of unsalted nuts
Choose this if: you want to weigh out your own portions at home. Jumbo lists eight labelled portions in 200 g, while Albert Heijn lists twenty 25 g portions in the 500 g pack reviewed.
Bear in mind: the portions are not individually wrapped, so you’ll need to seal the rest of the pack properly after weighing some out.
Unroasted, unsalted mix
Choose this if: you’re specifically looking for an unroasted, unsalted nut mix. Lidl describes a 200 g bag.
Bear in mind: this is a multi-portion pack. Lidl lists this version as available in store only.
Coated snack nuts
Choose this if: a spicy flavour and crunchy coating are important to you. Bidfood Nederland describes Duyvis Provençale in 45 g packs.
Bear in mind: a smaller pack doesn’t make its contents equivalent to an unsalted nut mix. Check the ingredients for the flavour you choose.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who does this matter most to? |
|---|---|---|
| Ready to take with you | The number of individual packs, the weight of each pack and the total contents of the box. | If I want something to take with me without weighing it out, I’d rather choose a sealed pack. Around 33% of consumers prioritise convenience when taking a snack with them. |
| Unsalted and portioned yourself | The exact unsalted product, its ingredients, and the difference between the labelled portion and the total pack size. | If I want to eat unsalted nuts regularly and decide how much to have, a multi-portion bag may suit me better. Around 27% of consumers prioritise this routine and portion size. |
| Flavour and ingredients | Which nuts are included and whether it’s a salted or coated variety. | If I’m mainly looking for something savoury or spicy, I compare the flavour and ingredients of the specific product. Around 13% of consumers make flavour and ingredients their top priority. |
| Quantity and stock | The total contents and whether you can store the rest properly once opened. | If I want to buy a quantity that suits how much I use, I take the box size into account. Around 20% of consumers prioritise having the right amount in stock. |
| Allergens | The ingredients and warnings about possible accidental presence on the current pack. | If a diagnosed allergy determines my choice, I first check whether the exact product is suitable for the person who’ll be eating it. Around 7% of consumers name allergen information as their top purchase priority. |
Common mistakes when choosing
-
Assuming a snack pack is the right portion for you
The Duyvis product described comes in 60 g packs. The AH and Jumbo mixes reviewed list 25 g as the labelled portion. So the weight of a pack isn’t necessarily the amount you want to take with you.
First decide how much you want to take for your coffee break, then choose whether an individual pack or weighing out your own portion suits you best.
-
Assuming all nut mixes contain the same ingredients
The Jumbo mix reviewed lists peanuts and cashews among its ingredients; the AH mix contains walnuts and lists peanuts as a possible presence. Salted peanuts and coated snack nuts also differ from unsalted mixes.
Compare the ingredients and allergens for the exact product, not just the brand name or pack size.
-
Buying a box of small packs when you don’t need much in stock
A pack of twenty 60 g bags contains a different quantity from a single multi-portion bag of 200 or 500 g.
Check the total contents and choose a quantity that suits how much you use. If you portion the nuts yourself, seal the rest of the pack properly.
A box of several packs takes up more storage space and may last longer than you need; choose a box size that matches how often you take the snack with you.

- Bidfood Nederland describes a box of twenty 60 g packs of salted peanuts; bol lists the same pack format.

- The product information lists twenty 25 g labelled portions and almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts and Brazil nuts.

Frequently asked questions
Does ‘eight portions’ mean I’ll get eight small bags?
No. For the 200 g Jumbo Unsalted Nut Mix, this refers to labelled portions, not eight individual bags. Albert Heijn lists twenty 25 g portions for the 500 g mix reviewed. If you want individual bags, this should be stated separately on the pack, as it is for Duyvis 20 × 60 g.
How many nuts should I take with me for my coffee?
Choose an amount based on how much you want to take with you and eat; a labelled portion isn’t a personal recommendation. The AH and Jumbo mixes reviewed list 25 g as a portion. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends a handful of unsalted nuts every day and eating a variety. So you don’t necessarily need to finish a 60 g Duyvis pack in one break.
How should I store the rest if I portion it myself?
Store nuts in a cool, dark, dry place in a well-sealed container. As general storage advice, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre says opened mixed unsalted nuts can be kept in a kitchen cupboard for six months. Also follow the instructions on your pack.
What allergen information should I check on a nut snack?
Check both the ingredients and the warning about possible accidental presence on the pack for the exact product. Dutch government information on food labelling states that label information must be available in Dutch and online. This information requirement doesn’t prove that a particular product is suitable for your allergy.
What does ‘may contain’ mean on a Dutch label?
It warns that an allergen may be present accidentally; this is different from an allergen being added as an ingredient. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA), rules for precautionary allergen warnings have applied since 1 January 2026: based on a risk assessment, the permitted warnings are ‘May contain X’ and ‘Not suitable for people with an X allergy’. Check the current information on the pack.
