Choose an individually wrapped pack if you want to take nuts with you without any preparation; a larger pack is a better fit if you’d rather measure out an amount at home. Then check the contents of each pack, the ingredients and the allergen information: convenient packaging doesn’t automatically mean the amount or mix is right for you.
You want to be able to take a sealed pack out of your bag mid-morning, without weighing out nuts at home. Duyvis lists a multipack of 4x30 g for its Unsalted Nutmix Walnut, among other options. This is packaging information, not a personal portion recommendation.
You want to decide how much to take with you and pay attention to the ingredients. Check the contents of each individual pack and the ingredients for the exact variety, rather than relying on labels such as ‘snack’ or ‘grab bag’.
You prepare your morning snack at home and want to choose the amount yourself. A larger pack, such as the unsalted mixed nuts listed by Albert Heijn or Jumbo Noten Mix Ongezouten 200 g, means measuring out and storing the nuts yourself.
A good fit if: you want to take a sealed pack with you first thing in the morning. Duyvis lists a multipack of 4x30 g for its Unsalted Nutmix Walnut.
Bear in mind: the amount in each pack is fixed; 30 g is the pack size, not a general personal recommendation.
A good fit if: you want to portion the nuts yourself at home and choose how much to have at each snack break. Examples include AH mixed nuts and Jumbo Noten Mix Ongezouten 200 g.
Bear in mind: portioning takes preparation; store any remaining nuts in a sealed container in a dry place, as recommended by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre.
A good fit if: you prefer a savoury taste and are deliberately choosing a salted variety. Jumbo lists both salted and unsalted mixed nuts.
Bear in mind: compare the nutritional information for the exact variety; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre includes unsalted nuts among the choices in its Wheel of Five.

A product range may come in different pack sizes. The name alone won’t tell you how much is in each individual pack.
Check the contents of each pack and decide for yourself how much you want to take with you. The 30 g listed for one Duyvis variety is packaging information.
The ingredients and allergen information apply to the exact variety. A safety warning may also be limited to a product with a specific best-before date or barcode.
Read the label and, if there’s a warning, check the product name, variety, best-before date and any barcode.
A multipack and a larger bag differ in size and how they’re used. Comparing the packs alone won’t tell you what the same quantity of similar nuts costs.
Compare products by matching the quantity and choosing a similar mix. Factor in the time it takes to portion and store them, too.
