If you want to take a snack with you without any preparation, check the weight of each pack: the confirmed Duyvis small pack contains 60 g, while the Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 g of unsalted nuts as a reference handful. If you prefer unsalted nuts or want to choose your own portion size, you can weigh some out from a larger pack, but this takes preparation and careful storage. A snack in your gym bag is not automatically a meal for around your workout.
You want to decide in advance how many nuts you’ll eat and are looking for a pack or a portion you can weigh out yourself to take with you. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 g as a reference handful; a confirmed Duyvis pack contains 60 g, so the pack size and the portion you want are not necessarily the same.
You’re specifically looking for an unsalted snack and want to check the exact variety rather than relying on a sporty-sounding product name. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends eating a handful of unsalted nuts every day and varying the types you eat.
You want to portion out snacks from a larger pack and consider resealing and storage important. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing nuts in a cool, dark, dry place in a well-sealed container.
First decide how much you want to take with you, then compare the nutritional values for that weighed portion. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 g of unsalted nuts as a general reference handful.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Portion and convenience | Check the weight of each individual pack and decide whether you want to eat the whole pack or weigh out a portion. The Duyvis pack contains 60 g per pack. | If I want to grab something to take with me but still decide how much I eat, portion control comes first. Around 36% of consumers give a measured portion that’s easy to take with them top priority. |
| Unsalted ingredients | Check the full variety name and ingredients, and read the label for salt and allergens. | If I’m looking for unsalted nuts, I want to be able to check this explicitly on the variety. Around 29% of consumers prioritise an unsalted product. |
| Nutritional value per portion | Compare the nutritional information for the exact variety and the amount you’ll actually eat, rather than looking only at the values per 100 g. | If I want to know what my snack contains around a workout, I check the nutritional value of my own portion. Around 21% of consumers prioritise this information. |
| Stock and storage | Check whether the packaging is resealable and use a well-sealed container for portions you weigh out yourself. Store nuts in a cool, dark, dry place. | If I want to make several snacks from one larger pack, sealing and storage are deciding factors for me. Around 14% of consumers prioritise stock and storage. |

Check the allergen information on the packaging of the exact variety. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information for prepacked products must appear on the label; peanuts and tree nuts are separate allergen categories. ‘Unsalted’ tells you nothing about allergens.
Use a well-sealed container and store the nuts in a cool, dark, dry place, as recommended by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre. For an unopened product, also follow the storage advice and best-before date on the packaging; a gym bag doesn’t automatically provide the same storage conditions.
