A snack with no preparation
You want to take an individual sachet with you and open it on the go, without weighing out nuts beforehand. Duyvis lists 45 g sachets; HANOS offers a box of 20.
Who are these options for?
Choosing an unsalted snack
You’re looking for a nut mix explicitly labelled as unsalted and are happy to portion it out yourself in advance. PLUS, Albert Heijn and Jumbo list unsalted nut mixes.
Dividing up a supply for the campsite
You want to dip into one pack at different times and are mindful of sealing and storage. ALDI lists a resealable 200 g nut mix; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing nuts in a sealed container in a dry, preferably cool place.
What should you look for when buying?
First decide whether you want individual sachets or can portion the nuts yourself. Then check the ingredients, allergens and storage instructions for your chosen pack.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this relevant to? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Check the weight of each inner sachet and the number of sachets; a portion size on the pack doesn’t necessarily mean the nuts are individually wrapped. | If I want to grab a snack on the go without weighing it out first, I look for individual sachets. Around 36% of consumers consider being able to take a snack with them straight away their main purchasing priority. |
| Unsalted ingredients | Look specifically for ‘unsalted’ and read the ingredients; ‘unroasted’ doesn’t automatically mean ‘unsalted’. | If I want unsalted nuts and can portion them myself, I check the ingredients. Around 29% of consumers prioritise an unsalted mix. |
| Seasoned flavour and coating | Read the flavour description and the ingredients and allergen information on the specific pack. | If I’m looking for a savoury coated snack to enjoy with a drink, I check the flavour and ingredients. Around 21% of consumers make a seasoned flavour their top priority. |
| Several snacking occasions | Check whether the pack is resealable and follow the storage advice; portioning it yourself may take extra preparation. | If I want to dip into one pack at different times, I make sure it can be sealed and stored properly. Around 14% of consumers prioritise being able to enjoy a product on several occasions. |
Common mistakes
-
Confusing a nutritional serving with an individual sachet
A pack listing several portions isn’t necessarily divided into individual inner sachets. For Duyvis Provencale in a 125 g pack, the product page describes 30 g portions, but doesn’t confirm that they’re individually wrapped.
Check the number of inner sachets and the weight of each one, not just the portion size listed. Portioning the nuts yourself may require some preparation and extra bags or containers.
-
Treating ‘unroasted’, ‘unsalted’ and ‘uncoated’ as the same thing
These are different product characteristics. ALDI describes its 200 g nut mix as unroasted; PLUS describes its 200 g mix as both unroasted and unsalted. Duyvis Provencale has a coating containing wheat.
Check each characteristic separately in the product name and ingredients list, especially if you have a salt preference or an allergy.
-
Assuming nuts will keep in the heat at a campsite
Keeping nuts sealed and dry is still important; general storage advice doesn’t guarantee that they’ll stay in good condition in a warm or damp tent.
Take only what you need, seal any leftovers and follow the storage advice on the pack. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises keeping nuts sealed and dry, preferably in a cool place.
Brands and nut ranges to help you choose
Duyvis
A good option for seasoned peanut snacks, such as Borrelnootjes Provencale.
- Duyvis describes the coating as crunchy with an onion and garlic flavour. HANOS lists 45 g sachets and a box of 20.
- This isn’t a plain unsalted nut mix. Duyvis lists peanuts and wheat; the manufacturer notes that it may contain milk, soya, mustard and nuts. Check the label on the pack you choose.
Albert Heijn
The AH range includes an unsalted nut mix for anyone who wants to portion it themselves.
- Albert Heijn’s range page lists AH Unsalted Nut Mix, 200 g.
- A 200 g pack isn’t automatically divided into individual sachets; check the packaging if resealability matters to you.
Jumbo
The own-brand range offers an unsalted mix that you can portion yourself.
- Jumbo lists Unsalted Nut Mix, 200 g.
- The product listing doesn’t confirm that it comes in individual snack sachets or a resealable pack.
Lidl
Alesto is Lidl’s range of nuts and dried fruit.
- Lidl’s brand page includes nuts among the products in the Alesto range.
- The range listing doesn’t mean that every pack is unsalted, resealable or individually portioned.

TRADER JOE'S Unroasted Nut Mix, 200 g, is a good option if you want to dip into one pack several times.
- ALDI lists hazelnuts, cashews, walnuts and almonds, an unroasted mix and a resealable pack.

PLUS
PLUS Unroasted Unsalted Nut Mix, 200 g, is a good fit if you’re looking for a mix explicitly labelled as unsalted.
- The product page confirms that the mix is unroasted and unsalted, and says to store it in a cool, dark place.

Frequently asked questions
Is a 45 g sachet automatically the right portion?
No. The 45 g is the pack size Duyvis lists for Provencale, not a universal nutritional recommendation. Choose an amount that suits your needs.
How should I store nuts at a campsite?
Keep nuts sealed and dry, preferably in a cool place, and follow the instructions on the packaging. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives 10 to 15 °C as an example of cool storage. So don’t leave a bag in direct sunlight or in the warmest part of your tent; this doesn’t guarantee that nuts will keep indefinitely in campsite heat.
How can I tell if an opened nut mix has gone off?
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists rancid, chewy or mouldy nuts as signs of spoilage or loss of quality. Don’t assume that storage guidance for a kitchen cupboard will apply in a warm or damp tent.
What should I check if I have a food allergy?
Read the allergen information on the specific pack, including any warnings about possible cross-contamination. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information for prepacked products must appear on the label. Duyvis Provencale lists peanuts and wheat; the manufacturer also notes that it may contain milk, soya, mustard and nuts. Check the label on the specific variant.
What allergen rules apply to prepacked products in the Netherlands?
According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, suppliers must provide information about the 14 specified allergens under European Regulation 1169/2011; for prepacked products, this information appears on the label. From 1 January 2026, the NVWA will also check warnings about possible cross-contamination during inspections, in line with the Precautionary Allergen Labelling Policy. These are requirements for suppliers.
