For anyone who wants to set off without weighing anything out
You want to be able to grab individual snack packs before you leave. JIP SNEL lists Duyvis Provencale packs of 45 g, with a minimum order quantity of 20.
Who are these options for?
For anyone who wants to portion out unsalted nuts
You want to take an unsalted nut snack with you and don’t mind dividing it into portions in advance. Jumbo and PLUS offer unsalted varieties in 200 g bags.

You want to be able to reseal the packaging between snacks. ALDI lists a resealable pack for its 200 g TRADER JOE'S Unroasted Nut Mix; keep the nuts sealed and dry, too.
What should you consider when choosing?
First decide what matters most to you: convenience, an unsalted mix, proper storage, sharing safely or choosing an appropriate total quantity.
| What to consider | What should you look for? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual packs and quantity | Check the contents of each pack and the minimum order quantity. JIP SNEL lists 45 g per pack and a minimum order quantity of 20. | If you don’t want to weigh anything out before you leave, individual packs are handy to take with you; around 31% of consumers put grab-and-go convenience first. |
| Ingredients | The Netherlands Nutrition Centre includes unsalted nuts in its Wheel of Five; seasoned party nuts are a different product choice. | If you’re looking for an unsalted nut snack, portioning it yourself could suit you; around 25% of consumers prioritise an unsalted mix. |
| Sealing and storage | The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends keeping nuts sealed and dry, and gives 10 to 15 °C as the ideal storage temperature. | If you want to snack from the same bag more than once during an outing, consider both how to seal it and where to store it; around 19% of consumers prioritise keeping snacks fresh between snack breaks. |
| Sharing safely | Read the ingredients and allergen information, and check the packaging for warnings about cross-contamination. The NVWA lists peanuts and nuts separately as allergens. | If you’re sharing snacks with your travel companions, consider allergies and the age of any young children; around 13% of consumers put safe sharing first. |
| Total quantity | Compare the pack size and minimum order quantity. As well as the 20 packs of 45 g, JIP SNEL also lists offers on unsalted nuts in 200 g bags at Jumbo and PLUS. | If you’re mainly looking for a suitable supply at a manageable cost, compare the total order with how much you expect to use; around 12% of consumers prioritise total quantity and cost. |
Common pitfalls
-
Assuming a small bag is a recommended serving
The 45 g stated for the Duyvis pack in question is the net weight of the packaging, not nutritional advice.
Check the contents of each pack and decide for yourself how much you want to take on your outing.
-
Assuming party nuts are the same as unsalted nuts
Duyvis describes Provencale as peanuts with a crunchy coating flavoured with onion and garlic. Party nuts and unsalted nuts are different product choices; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre includes unsalted nuts in its Wheel of Five.
Choose based on the ingredients and the type of snack you’re looking for, not just the word ‘nuts’.
-
Assuming resealable packaging is suitable for every storage situation
Resealable packaging doesn’t replace proper storage. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends keeping nuts sealed and dry.
Before you set off, think about where you can keep the pack dry and suitably cool during your journey and outing.
-
Looking at just one snack pack
JIP SNEL lists a minimum order quantity of 20 for the Duyvis packs in question. As a result, you may end up ordering more than you need for your trip.
Check the minimum order quantity and compare the total amount with the number of snack breaks you have planned.
Brands to consider
Duyvis
Worth considering if you’re looking for a seasoned snack to enjoy with drinks in an individual pack.
- JIP SNEL lists 45 g Provencale packs, sold in quantities of 20. Duyvis describes the flavour as onion and garlic in a crunchy coating.
- The flavour description comes from the manufacturer. Party nuts are not an unsalted nut mix; 45 g is the pack size, not nutritional advice.
Albert Heijn
AH Unsalted Nut Mix is an option if you want to portion it out yourself.
- The product page lists an unsalted nut mix.
- Albert Heijn recommends checking the packaging, as product information can change.
Jumbo
Jumbo Unsalted Nut Mix, 200 g, is suitable for portioning out in advance.
- The product page lists the unsalted variety and a pack size of 200 g.
- The 200 g bag isn’t an individual snack pack, so you’ll need to measure out the amount you want yourself.
Lidl
The Alesto range includes both plain nuts and seasoned party snacks.
- Lidl describes products including cashew nuts and seasoned peanuts in a batter coating.
- The range description doesn’t confirm that every product is individually portioned or resealable; check the packaging of the variety you choose.
ALDI
TRADER JOE'S Unroasted Nut Mix, 200 g, is an option for several snack breaks.
- ALDI lists hazelnuts, cashews, walnuts and almonds in resealable packaging.
- Unroasted doesn’t necessarily mean unsalted; you’ll also need to portion out the 200 g bag yourself.
PLUS
PLUS Unsalted Nut Mix in a 200 g stand-up pouch is an option if you want to portion it out yourself.
- The product name specifies the unsalted variety and a net weight of 200 g.
- A stand-up pouch doesn’t necessarily mean the packaging is resealable or contains individual portions.

Frequently asked questions
Does a small pack automatically count as a suitable serving?
No. For the Duyvis product in question, 45 g is the net weight of the pack, not personal nutritional advice. Check the ingredients separately and consider how much you want to take with you.
How should you take nuts you’ve portioned out yourself?
Portion out the amount you want before you leave, and keep the nuts sealed and dry. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives 10 to 15 °C as the ideal storage temperature; bear this in mind when choosing where to store them during warm-weather outings.
Can you give whole nuts to a child under four?
The MDL Fonds advises against giving whole nuts to children under four because of the risk of choking. Putting the nuts in a small snack pack doesn’t change this.
What should you check for allergens on a nut pack in the Netherlands?
Check the allergen information on the packaging of the product you’re actually buying; the NVWA lists peanuts and nuts separately as allergens. Dutch rules on cross-contamination warnings have applied since 1 January 2026, so check this information too if someone has an allergy.
Do you have to buy 20 snack packs for just a few outings?
Not necessarily. JIP SNEL lists a minimum order quantity of 20 for the Duyvis packs in question. A larger bag of unsalted nuts is another option, allowing you to portion it out yourself; compare the total order with how much you expect to use.
Do you always have a cooling-off period when ordering nuts online?
Online purchases generally come with a statutory cooling-off period of up to 14 days after delivery, but there are exceptions, such as products that spoil quickly. ACM ConsuWijzer explains the rule and its exceptions; check which terms apply to the specific purchase.
