| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Protein per portion | Compare protein and energy on the same basis, using the nutritional information on the exact pack. | If you want to know what your own snack portion contributes, check the amount you actually eat. An estimated 36% of consumers give protein per portion the highest priority. |
| Unsalted variety | Check that the pack says unsalted; compare the ingredients if you switch between varieties. | If you eat nuts regularly, finding an unsalted variety you enjoy can be a deciding factor. Around 29% of consumers prioritise an unsalted option for everyday use. |
| Suitable pack size | Compare the net weight and think about how much you use at a time and how often you eat nuts. | If you’re looking for a pack that suits how much you consume, the quantity per bag matters. An estimated 21% of consumers give a suitable pack size the highest priority. |
| Flavour and use | Choose the exact flavour and preparation; don’t assume the nutritional values are the same as those of another variety. | If you want to use nuts both as a snack and in dishes, flavour and how you’ll use them can shape your choice. Around 14% of consumers prioritise flavour and convenience. |
