Choose individual portion bags if you want to hand out or take along sealed portions; Duyvis describes Unsalted Nutmix Walnut as a multipack of 4 × 30 g. A larger bag is a better fit if you want to portion the nuts yourself or share them from bowls, but it isn’t a multipack. Compare the price per kilo and check the ingredients, allergens and suitability for children before you choose.
You want to hand out sealed bags on King’s Day without portioning the nuts yourself beforehand. Duyvis describes a Walnut multipack with four 30 g bags; when choosing, check how many individual bags there are and how much each contains.
You want to decide in advance how much to take along. You can use a factory-portioned pack or divide the nuts from a larger pack yourself. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre warns that children can choke on whole nuts and peanuts, so assess whether the way they’re served is suitable separately.
You’re putting nuts out in bowls or making several portions yourself. A larger bag can be an alternative to individual bags, but it isn’t a multipack. You could also compare unsalted nut mixes with coated peanuts if you’re looking for a different mix.
Choose this if: you want to hand out or take along sealed bags. Duyvis describes the Walnut mix as 4 × 30 g.
Bear in mind: the amount in each bag is fixed; the pack size isn’t dietary advice for every age group.
Choose this if: you want to portion the nuts yourself and store the rest in the same pack. ALDI describes Trader Joe’s unroasted nut mix as a 200 g resealable pack.
Bear in mind: you’ll need to portion it yourself; one resealable bag isn’t a multipack.
Choose this if: you’re sharing nuts in bowls or making several portions yourself. PLUS lists a stand-up pouch with 500 g of unroasted, unsalted nut mix.
Bear in mind: a larger bag won’t give you individual sealed lunchbox portions; work out how much you need yourself.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who might care most about this? |
|---|---|---|
| Sealed bags | Count the individual bags and check how many grams each contains. Duyvis describes a pack of 4 × 30 g. | If I want to hand out or take along bags without weighing portions in advance, I need to know how many I’ll need; around 31% of consumers prioritise convenience when handing them out. |
| Portioning it yourself | Check the contents of the larger pack and see whether it’s resealable. | For my lunchbox, I want to be able to choose the amount myself rather than take a fixed-size bag; around 25% of consumers prioritise portions they can adjust. |
| Ingredients | Read the ingredients and nutritional information for the exact variety. Duyvis describes the Walnut mix as unsalted and Borrelnootjes as peanuts with a crunchy coating. | Unsalted nuts or a coated snack matter more to me than convenient packaging; around 19% of consumers prioritise the ingredients. |
| Quantity and cost | Compare the current price per kilo for products with similar ingredients and work out how much you’ll actually use. | I don’t want to buy more than we’ll use, and I want to compare packs on a like-for-like basis; around 13% of consumers prioritise cost and avoiding leftovers. |
| Allergens and suitability | Read the allergen information on the pack. Assess whole nuts and peanuts separately for children; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre warns about choking. | If someone with an allergy is sharing the snack, or it’s for a child, I check the ingredients and suitability first; around 12% of consumers consider allergens or children’s safety decisive. |
A smaller bag doesn’t change the way the food needs to be eaten. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre warns that children can choke on whole nuts and peanuts.
Assess whether the food is suitable for the child separately; don’t choose based only on the weight of each bag.
A multipack contains individual bags; a large bag or stand-up pouch is one pack, even if you divide it into several portions yourself.
Check the number of individual packs and the amount in each bag before working out how much you need.
An unsalted nut mix and peanuts with a crunchy coating have different ingredients. Duyvis describes Borrelnootjes as peanuts with this type of coating.
Compare the ingredients, nutritional information and allergens for the exact variety rather than looking only at the brand and pack size.
A multipack and a larger bag can have different total weights, so comparing only the price per pack isn’t like for like.
Compare the current price per kilo for products with similar ingredients and work out in advance how many bags or portions you’ll need.

First, count how many individual bags you want to hand out. The multipack described by Duyvis contains four bags; divide the number of bags you need by four and round up. This works out how many bags to hand out, not the recommended amount of nuts per person.
No, assess whether they’re suitable to eat separately. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre warns that children can choke on whole nuts and peanuts. A small bag or portion pack doesn’t remove that risk.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack for the exact variety. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked products. An unsalted nut mix isn’t automatically free from allergens or ‘may contain’ warnings.
Follow the storage instructions and use-by information on your pack. For opened mixed unsalted nuts, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives general guidance of six months in a kitchen cupboard or one year in the freezer; quality may deteriorate after that. Rancid, chewy or mouldy nuts are signs of spoilage. This advice doesn’t automatically apply to every type of snack.
No. The warning issued by the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority on 20 May 2026 concerned Trader Joe’s 170 g unsalted cashews with a best-before date (THT) of 23 September 2026, due to possible metal fragments; the NVWA advised people not to eat this product. The warning doesn’t automatically apply to other Trader Joe’s products. Check the brand, product, weight and THT on the relevant pack.
