Choose individual portion packs if you want to take nuts with you or share them without weighing them out; a larger bag is a better fit if you portion them yourself and use the supply regularly. Work out the protein contribution using the nutritional information for that exact variety and the amount you eat: Flink lists 27 g of protein per 100 g for Duyvis Unsalted Peanuts 235 g, but that figure does not automatically apply to a nut mix. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre includes unsalted nuts in the Wheel of Five; if you’re sharing them, also check the allergen information and whether they’re suitable for the person receiving them.
You want to know how much protein you’ll get from the amount you take with you. So check the weight of your portion and the nutritional information for the exact variety, rather than relying on the name on the pack alone. Duyvis lists a multipack of Unsalted Nutmix Walnut with four 30 g sachets.
You want to hand out or take nuts with you individually, without weighing them first. Individually packed portions can be handy; if you’re sharing them, check the ingredients and allergen information for that variety.
You’re preparing several lunchboxes and want to decide how much goes in each one. Compare the net weight with how much you use, and follow the storage instructions once the pack has been opened.
Choose these when: you want to take nuts with you or share them without any preparation; Duyvis lists a Walnut multipack with 30 g sachets.
The trade-off: the fixed sachet size may not match the portion you want.
Choose this when: you’re filling several lunchboxes at home and want to decide on the quantities yourself; Jumbo and ALDI list 500 g nut mixes.
The trade-off: you’ll need to portion the nuts yourself and store the opened pack according to the instructions.
Choose this when: you want to use the bags one after another. Five Star Trading Holland describes a Duyvis pack containing ten 235 g bags.
The trade-off: these aren’t ten small lunch portions; you’ll need to portion them yourself if you want smaller amounts.
Choose this when: you want to weigh out a portion of a specific peanut variety and calculate its protein contribution.
The trade-off: nutritional information for peanuts does not apply to a mixed nut selection; also check peanuts as a separate allergen.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Protein per portion eaten | Check the protein and energy per 100 g for the exact variety, and weigh the amount you actually eat. | If I want to estimate the protein in my lunch portion, I need the nutritional information for that exact mix and the weight I eat; around 34% of consumers make this calculation their top priority. |
| Taking them with you and sharing | Check the number of individual packs and the weight of each sachet; distinguish small portions from larger bags intended for stocking up. | When I want to take nuts with me or share them without weighing them, I choose individual sachets; around 33% of consumers give this convenience top priority. |
| Stocking up and portioning yourself | Choose a net weight that suits how much you use, and follow the storage instructions after opening. | If I’m considering a larger pack, I want to portion it myself and keep a supply that suits how much I use; around 20% of consumers prioritise the size of their supply. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current ingredients list and allergen information. The NVWA lists peanuts and nuts separately as allergens. | When I share nuts with someone, I first check that the ingredients and allergen information are suitable for them; around 13% of consumers make this their first selection criterion. |
A pack containing ten 235 g bags is very different from the Duyvis Walnut multipack with 30 g sachets. The number of packs alone doesn’t tell you how much you’ll have for each lunch.
Check both the number of individual packs and the weight of each one.
Making smaller portions yourself takes time to prepare.
The 27 g of protein per 100 g listed by Flink applies to Duyvis Unsalted Peanuts 235 g, not automatically to other Duyvis products or mixes.
Use the nutritional information for the exact variety and the weight of your portion.
A 500 g pack tells you how much is in it, not how well it suits the way you use it.
Choose a size you can portion and use, and follow the storage instructions on the pack once it’s open.
A large opened pack needs enough storage space and care to keep it properly sealed.
Peanuts and nuts are separate allergens. Jumbo also warns that young children could choke on nuts in its 200 g unroasted nut mix.
Check the current allergen information and consider the person receiving them and the product’s texture.
The product information covers both a small multipack of portions and larger bag sizes.
The product information covers AH Unsalted Nut Mix and a product page for Duyvis Unsalted Nutmix Walnut.
The Dutch product information reviewed lists unroasted nut mixes in different pack sizes.
The product page confirms nut mixes as a category to compare.
ALDI lists a 500 g unsalted nut mix under the Trader Joe’s product name.
The official unsalted nuts category is relevant if an unsalted mix is your first selection criterion.

The individual sachets may suit you if you want to take nuts with you without weighing them out first. Check the portion weight, nutritional information and allergens on the pack before calculating the contribution from your portion.

The product name lists a variety of nuts, seeds and chickpeas; the product description says the mix is salted. If you’re considering it for a lunchbox, check the ingredients and nutritional information for this variety.

Think of these as a snack coated in a savoury coating, not simply as an uncoated nut mix. The listed allergen information includes peanuts, gluten (wheat and barley) and soya; milk, nuts and mustard may also be present.
Multiply the value per 100 g by the weight of your portion, then divide by 100. Flink lists 27 g of protein and 614 kcal per 100 g for Duyvis Unsalted Peanuts 235 g; a 30 g portion for calculation purposes would therefore contain 8,1 g of protein and 184,2 kcal. The 30 g is just an example for the calculation, not a personal portion recommendation. Don’t use these values for other varieties.
No. Following a diet that takes protein into account doesn’t automatically mean that this product claim applies. The European Commission says that nutrition claims are permitted only when they are included in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006; check the claim and its conditions for the exact variety.
The NVWA says that allergen information for pre-packed products must appear on the label; peanuts and nuts are listed separately. New Dutch rules on warnings about allergens that may accidentally get into food have applied since 1 January 2026. The NVWA has been monitoring compliance since 2026, so check the current packaging.
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists a handful of unsalted nuts as a snack for children aged 4 to 12. That doesn’t mean whole nuts are suitable for every young child: Jumbo warns that young children could choke on them. Also take allergies and the rules at school or childcare into account.
Nut specialist Nootje recommends storing nuts in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Also follow the storage instructions and use-by date on the pack; general storage advice doesn’t give a set shelf life for every variety.
