Choose individual packs if you want to take nuts with you or hand them out without weighing them. A larger pack is a better fit if you want to choose the quantity and mix yourself. For individual packs, compare the number of bags and the weight per bag, and check the ingredients and allergens too. A pack’s total contents won’t necessarily match the amount you want to eat with your lunch.
You want to take a sealed bag with your sandwich and don’t want to weigh out a portion in advance. The number of bags and the amount in each are important factors when choosing. Examples supported by product details include packs of twenty 60 g bags and twenty 45 g bags.
You want to decide how many nuts to take and which mix to choose. A larger bag may suit you if you’re happy to portion it yourself. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 g of unsalted nuts as a guide for a handful; this isn’t a personal dietary recommendation.
You want to give several people their own individual bag. As well as checking the number of bags, look at the ingredients and allergens: plain peanuts and peanuts with a crunchy, wheat-containing coating don’t have the same ingredients.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual bags | Check both the number of bags and the weight per bag. | If I want to take or hand out a bag without weighing it, the pack size is a deciding factor. Around 31% of consumers put this convenience first. |
| Choosing your own amount | Check the total weight, ingredients and whether you’ll need to portion it yourself. | If I want to choose my own lunch portion and nut mix, a larger pack may be a better fit. Around 31% of consumers put choosing their own quantity and mix first. |
| Flavour and texture | Distinguish between plain peanuts and peanuts with a crunchy seasoned coating. | If I’m looking for a particular flavour or crunch, I want to know which type of product I’m choosing. Around 23% of consumers put flavour and texture first. |
| Allergens | Read the current label for the exact product, including when handing it out. | If I’m taking food for myself or someone else, I want to be able to check the ingredients and warnings. Around 15% of consumers make allergen information their first consideration. |
The name Mini Nut Mix doesn’t tell you how many individual bags are in a pack. A larger bag and a box of individual bags offer different formats.
For a multipack, check the number of bags and the weight per bag. If you choose a larger bag, expect to portion it yourself.
Portioning it yourself takes preparation; use a sealable container for your lunchbox.
Borrelnootjes Provencale have a crunchy coating that includes wheat-containing starch. So the weight of the bag doesn’t consist of peanuts alone.
Compare the ingredients and product type before comparing pack weights. Duyvis lists wheat in the starch used in Provencale.
The bag sizes supported by product details are 45 g or 60 g. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 g of unsalted nuts as a guide for a handful; this comparison doesn’t determine what amount is right for you.
Decide how much you want to take with you. Choose a size that suits you or portion a larger pack in advance.
If you want to eat less than the contents of an opened bag, you’ll have some left over.
Foodello listed a batch of Duyvis Salted Peanuts with a best-before date of 1 November 2025. That date isn’t a reliable guide to what’s available now.
Check the best-before date on the pack you’re actually buying.
Two multipack formats with individual bags are supported by product details: salted peanuts and Borrelnootjes Provencale.
Albert Heijn lists Duyvis Borrelnootjes Provencale 20-pack.

No. The listed Duyvis bags contain 45 g or 60 g, while the Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 g of unsalted nuts as a guide for a handful. This isn’t a personal recommendation; decide for yourself how much you want to take with you.
Use containers that seal securely and store nuts somewhere cool, dark and dry. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre warns that nuts are susceptible to mould and can absorb odours. For an unopened pack, follow the storage instructions and best-before date on the product.
Compare the number of bags, the weight per bag and the total weight. This helps you see whether you’re getting individual packs or need to portion the nuts yourself, rather than comparing only the outer packaging.
Read the label on the exact variety and consider who will be eating the product. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) states that allergen information must appear on prepacked products; peanuts and tree nuts are listed separately. Since 1 January 2026, Dutch rules for warnings about unintentional cross-contamination require the warnings ‘May contain X’ and ‘Not suitable for people with an X allergy’. This information alone doesn’t tell you whether a product is suitable for a particular person.
No. Duyvis lists peanuts, sunflower oil and salt for its Salted Peanuts; Provencale also has a crunchy coating that includes wheat-containing starch. Check the ingredients for the exact variety, even if both products are sold in individual bags.
