Common pitfalls
-
The word ‘value’ doesn’t tell you how much your household will use
A larger pack is only a good fit if the amount suits how much you use. Also compare the same type of peanuts and check the net weight.
First choose the ingredients you’re looking for, then decide which pack size is practical.
-
A product page isn’t the same as a delivery service
Lidl confirms that groceries aren’t sold through its website or app and that it doesn’t offer a grocery delivery service. On 12 October 2026, Albert Heijn reported that its websites, apps and customer service were temporarily unavailable; its shops remained open.
Check how to place your order and which delivery slots are available before planning your grocery shop. Albert Heijn’s notice described the situation at that time.
If a delivery option isn’t available, you may need to visit a shop or order from another retailer.
-
Unsalted doesn’t mean allergen-free
Unsalted peanuts still contain peanuts. Choosing a variant with no added salt doesn’t change the allergen information.
Check the information on the packaging of the exact variant.
-
A large bag needs careful storage once opened
For its 370 g salted peanuts, Duyvis recommends storing an opened bag in a light- and airtight container.
Choose a pack size that suits how much you use, and follow the storage instructions for the product you buy.
To store this Duyvis pack as recommended, you’ll need a suitable storage container once it’s opened.

Frequently asked questions
How do I compare a large bag with smaller packs?
First compare the total net weight, and make sure you’re comparing the same type of peanuts. Two 250 g packs of Jumbo unsalted peanuts contain the same amount as one 500 g pack.
Does unsalted mean there’s exactly 0 g of salt?
Not necessarily. Jumbo lists 0,01 g of salt per 100 g for its 500 g unsalted variant, from naturally occurring sodium. Check the nutritional information for the exact variant.
How should I store an opened bag of peanuts?
Follow the instructions for the product you buy. The product information for Duyvis salted peanuts 370 g recommends storing an opened bag in a light- and airtight container. For its 500 g pack of unsalted peanuts, PLUS recommends storing in a cool, dry place away from light.
Which allergen information should I check?
Check the information on the exact pack: unsalted peanuts still contain peanuts. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked products. According to the European Union’s guidance on Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011, mandatory food information must be available free of charge before purchase when selling at a distance.
Are whole peanuts automatically suitable as a snack for young children?
No. The Jumbo and PLUS product information reviewed warns that young children can choke on peanuts. Bear this warning in mind when choosing and offering whole peanuts.
