Portion-conscious snackers
You want to keep eating peanuts while deciding in advance how many to have. Weighing your portion helps you match the amount you eat to the nutritional information on the pack.
Who are these peanuts for?
Those looking for an unsalted snack
You want to factor in the salt content and tell unsalted peanuts apart from savoury roasted varieties. The nutritional information for the specific variant is still important.
Adding them to your online shop
You want to add peanuts to your online grocery order and check the product variant, delivery terms and availability for your address.
What to look for in peanuts with fewer snack calories
First compare the nutritional information per 100 g, then weigh your own portion, and finally check that the variant and ordering option suit you.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Calories per portion | Compare kcal per 100 g and weigh your portion. AH lists a 25 g portion for its unsalted own-brand peanuts; Jumbo uses a 30 g portion for its unsalted variant. | If I want to decide how much to snack on, I’d rather look at what I actually weigh out than just the bag; around 39% of consumers prioritise calories per portion. |
| Salt and preparation | Read the nutritional information and ingredients for the exact variant. The AH page lists 1.4 g of salt per 100 g for Duyvis Oven Roasted Peanuts Original. | If I’m looking for an unsalted snack, I don’t want to rely on the preparation name; around 23% of consumers prioritise the ingredients, including salt. |
| Ordering online | The checked product pages from AH, Jumbo and PLUS offer online ordering for the variants listed. Check stock and delivery options for your address. | If I want my peanuts delivered with my regular groceries, I want to be able to check the variant and delivery option in advance; around 23% of consumers prioritise delivery convenience. |
| Ordering terms | Check the terms and chosen delivery slot with the retailer you’re ordering from; these can vary between providers. | If I’m planning my whole order, I want to take the delivery terms into account rather than looking at just one pack; around 15% of consumers focus mainly on the terms for the whole order. |
Common pitfalls when choosing peanuts
-
Assuming unsalted or oven-roasted means low in calories
Salt content, preparation method and energy are different product characteristics. The five variants compared list 602–625 kcal per 100 g; according to the European Commission, solid foods can only carry a ‘low energy’ claim if they contain no more than 40 kcal per 100 g.
Use the nutritional information for the exact variant. Choosing a smaller portion is a portion decision, not proof that the product itself is low in calories.
-
Comparing portions of different weights
The AH product page for unsalted peanuts gives a portion size of 25 g, while Jumbo lists a 30 g portion for its unsalted variant. This means the portion values are not directly comparable.
Compare values per 100 g first, then work out the figures for each variant using the same portion weight.
-
Relying on the product page alone when ordering home delivery
An online product page doesn’t mean the variant is available at your address or can be delivered at a time that suits you. Grocery order terms vary by provider and delivery slot.
Check the latest ordering and delivery terms on the retailer’s website before completing your order.
-
Ignoring a safety warning or applying it to an entire brand
On 20 May 2026, Albert Heijn issued a recall for AH Extra Large Salted Peanuts (tub) with a best-before date of 04-11-2026 due to possible metal fragments. The warning applies to that specific batch, not automatically to other AH peanuts.
Check the product name and best-before date. Do not eat the affected batch, and follow Albert Heijn’s refund instructions.
Brands and variants to consider
Duyvis
Worth considering if you’re comparing unsalted peanuts with a savoury roasted variety.

Frequently asked questions
Can these peanuts be described as low in calories?
Not based on the nutritional information listed. For solid foods, the European Commission sets a maximum of 40 kcal (170 kJ) per 100 g for a ‘low energy’ claim. To claim reduced energy, the energy content must be reduced by at least 30%, and the characteristic responsible for the reduction must also be stated.
How do I calculate the calories in my portion?
Multiply the kcal per 100 g by the weight of your portion, then divide by 100. For example, 25 g of Jumbo Unsalted Peanuts is 602 × 25 ÷ 100 = 150.5 kcal, based on the value listed by Jumbo. This calculation uses the declared average nutritional value.
Which of these peanuts can I order online?
The checked product pages from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS offer online ordering for the variants listed. Check current availability and delivery options for your address. Lidl lists the variant checked as available in store only; the Aldi product page refers to a store visit.
What should I look out for if I have a peanut allergy?
The peanut products listed contain peanuts, whether salted or not. Always check the allergen information on the pack of the exact variant. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked foods.
What should I do if I have the recalled AH pack?
Do not eat the affected batch, and follow Albert Heijn’s recall instructions. The recall issued on 20 May 2026 concerns AH Extra Large Salted Peanuts (tub) with a best-before date of 04-11-2026 and possible metal fragments. The warning does not automatically apply to other AH peanuts.
