When choosing organic almonds after exercise, check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information on the exact pack, and tailor your portion to your overall diet. The 150g AH pack lists 19g of protein per 100g, which works out at 4.75g for a 25g portion. The PLUS pack lists 21.3g per 100g, or around 5.3g per 25g. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre explains that organic certification is not proof of better muscle recovery, and that you should consider your protein intake as part of your usual diet.
If you want something to eat alongside your usual food after the gym, compare the protein per portion with the amount you actually eat. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre provides information about protein requirements for people who exercise.
If organic sourcing matters to you, check the organic label and the information on the pack. The Netherlands Enterprise Agency and the Dutch Government explain how organic product information is labelled.
If you eat almonds regularly, the net weight and how well the pack reseals may be worth considering. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing nuts in a dry, tightly sealed container.
Best for: occasional snacking or taking a small amount with you.
Bear in mind: you’ll need to weigh out your own portion; a smaller pack says nothing about nutritional quality.
Best for: regularly adding a weighed portion to your breakfast.
Bear in mind: once opened, the larger quantity needs to be kept dry and tightly sealed.
The percentages give an indication of how consumers might prioritise their first purchase for this snacking or breakfast occasion.

How much protein and energy you get depends on how many almonds you eat. So a figure per 100g may not reflect what you get from a small handful.

The ingredients in Duyvis Almonds Original include salt and flavourings. So a preparation claim on its own doesn’t mean a product is unsalted or organic.
