Are you looking for a crunchy coating and a savoury flavour? Duyvis describes Borrelnootjes as peanuts with a coating. Check the ingredients to distinguish this snack from an unsalted nut mix.
First decide what matters most to you: convenience, portioning it yourself, the ingredients, the flavour or a pack size that suits your needs.
| What to consider | What should you look for? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Taking a portion with you | Check the weight of each individual packet and how many packets there are. A multipack doesn’t tell you how much is in each packet. | If I want to grab a snack on the go without weighing it first, I look for a clearly defined portion. Around 31% of consumers prioritise convenience when taking a snack with them. |
| Choosing unsalted nuts | Read the ingredients and compare salt levels on the same basis, such as per 100 grams. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre includes unsalted nuts in the Wheel of Five. | If I want an unsalted snack rather than a seasoned snack to enjoy with drinks, I compare the product type and the information on the label. Around 25% of consumers prioritise an unsalted option. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check both the ingredients list and any warnings about possible traces; they answer different questions. | If certain ingredients or allergens matter to me, I check the current packaging rather than relying on the product name. Around 13% of consumers prioritise a suitable composition. |
| Flavour and texture | Check whether the product contains uncoated nuts or coated peanuts, and see which flavourings are listed. | If I’m mainly after a savoury flavour and a crunchy coating, I choose a savoury snack rather than an unsalted nut mix. Around 19% of consumers prioritise that savoury crunch. |
| Storing a larger pack | Check the total weight, number of portions and storage instructions. Seal an opened pack well and keep it somewhere dry. | If I buy a larger pack, I want to be able to use that quantity and store the rest properly. Around 12% of consumers prioritise a pack size that suits their needs. |

Store nuts somewhere cool and dry in a well-sealed container. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends a cool storage temperature of 10 to 15 °C. Also follow the storage instructions and use-by information on the packaging you’re using.
Check both the ingredients list and any warning about possible traces. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked foods. Since 1 January 2026, the Netherlands has also had rules on warnings about possible cross-contamination; these requirements don’t guarantee that a product is suitable for every individual with an allergy.
No. The Jumbo mix reviewed here lists peanuts as an ingredient, while the AH mix reviewed here warns that peanuts may be present. Check the ingredients list and any precautionary warning on the current packaging; the product name doesn’t prove that a product is suitable for you.
First compare the total weight and the weight per packet or portion, then decide whether you want individual packets or prefer to portion the nuts yourself. For example, the packs reviewed here range from 20 packets of 45 grams to a 200-gram bag; comparing only the number of packs isn’t a like-for-like comparison.
