Snackers on the go
You want to take an amount that’s right for one snack break, without having to divide up a larger bag while you’re out. Check the net weight, any serving information and the instructions for storing the product after opening.
If you want to take a measured snack with you, choose according to how much you need and portion out a multi-serving pack in advance: a bag isn’t automatically one portion. If you’re looking for an unsalted option, check the exact product name and ingredients. Oven-roasting without added oil or fat doesn’t automatically mean the almonds are unsalted. Also check the storage instructions and whether your chosen supermarket can deliver your order or have it ready for collection.

It depends on how much you choose to have as a snack. As an example, 150 g makes six 25 g portions. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 g as a handful in a nutritional reference for unsalted nuts; this isn’t personal advice or a serving size stated for a specific product.

Follow the advice for the variety you’ve chosen. The Jumbo product page recommends storing the almonds in a cool, dry, dark place; for the Duyvis variety described, PLUS recommends keeping an opened bag in an airtight, lightproof container. This advice doesn’t guarantee a specific shelf life.
Check the product information before ordering and also read the packaging when it arrives. Business.gov.nl explains that food information in the Netherlands must be available in Dutch and online; the NVWA says allergen information for prepacked products should appear on the label.
No, don’t assume that they are. The product description for the Anatolia variety mentioned warns that it poses a choking risk to young children. The warning doesn’t specify an age limit, so check the information on the exact pack.
