Start by checking the product information to confirm its organic status, then make sure the ingredients and preparation method suit your breakfast. Next, choose an amount that matches how much you use and how much storage space you have: a larger pack gives you more to keep in stock, while a smaller one takes up less space.
You’re looking for almonds with product information to support their organic status, and you also check the ingredients and salt content for your breakfast. The European Commission and the Government of the Netherlands explain that organic labelling is subject to checks and certification.
You buy enough for several breakfasts at once and want to match the pack size to how much you use and where you can store opened almonds. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing unsalted almonds in a cool, dark and dry place, in a well-sealed container.
You include almonds in your weekly shop and compare the current price per kilo of organic varieties. Bear in mind that PLUS lists local price differences and says the delivery price applies.
First check the organic product labelling, then compare the preparation method, cost, pack size and allergen information.
| What to consider | What should you look for? | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Organic certification | Check the organic product information and, where shown, the EU organic logo and the code of the inspection body. | If I’m specifically looking for organic almonds, I want to be able to check that claim on the pack I choose. Around 28% of consumers put certification first. |
| Preparation and ingredients | Read the ingredients list and check whether the almonds are unroasted, roasted and/or unsalted. | For my breakfast, I want a preparation method and ingredients list that suit what I’m looking for. Around 22% of consumers give suitability for breakfast top priority. |
| Comparing costs | Compare the current price per kilo for the same type of organic almonds, and check the price for your shop or delivery. | If I add almonds to my regular shop, I want to compare the cost of similar packs side by side. Around 22% of consumers put the total purchase cost first. |
| Quantity and storage | Choose a net weight that matches how much you use, and check the storage instructions and how the pack reseals after opening. | When I’m buying enough for several breakfasts at once, the pack size needs to suit how much I can use and store. Around 17% of consumers put stock management first. |
| Allergens | Check the ingredients and warnings about the possible presence of other allergens on the exact pack. | If allergens are relevant to someone in my household, I want to check the information for that specific variety. Around 11% of consumers put this check first. |
These terms describe how the almonds are prepared or what has been added; they don’t, on their own, mean the almonds have been produced under certified organic standards.
Check the organic product information separately from the ingredients and preparation method. The European Commission and the Government of the Netherlands explain the requirements for organic labelling.
A large quantity is only a good choice if you can use it and store it properly after opening. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises keeping unsalted almonds in a cool, dark and dry place, in a well-sealed container.
Choose a pack size that suits how much you’ll actually use, and make sure you have somewhere suitable to store it.
A pack that doesn’t suit how much you use or the storage space you have could take up room for too long or lead to waste.
The Dutch Consumers’ Association survey on 24 April 2026 looked at 166 organic products across 13 supermarkets. It is not a current price comparison of these specific almonds.
Before you buy, compare the current price per kilo of the exact organic varieties and check the price for your shop or delivery.
Almonds are an allergen in their own right. The possible presence of other allergens also varies by product and pack; organic status doesn’t change that.
If food allergies are a concern, read the ingredients list and product-specific warnings on the pack. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains allergen labelling.
The product information for AH Organic Unroasted Almonds refers to a 400 g pack.
Jumbo Organic Unroasted Almonds come in a 175 g pack.
The PLUS Organic variety reviewed comes in a 150 g tub and contains unroasted, unsalted almonds with their skins on.
Duyvis Almonds Original is a roasted almond variety to consider if you’re looking for a different preparation method.
The Trader Joe’s Almonds reviewed are roasted and unsalted, and come in a 200 g pack.
Lidl has a general Bio Organic range, but this doesn’t provide product information about any specific pack of almonds.
No, the rules vary depending on the product and its origin. The European Commission says the logo is compulsory for pre-packaged food produced in the EU and sold as organic; different rules apply to imported or unpackaged products. If the logo is used, the inspection code and the agricultural origin must also be included on the label.
The code identifies the inspection body and isn’t exclusively a Dutch code. For example, a 150 g AH pack lists IT-BIO-009. Consider the product information as a whole; a different code isn’t, by itself, a reason to assume the product isn’t organic.
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises keeping them in a cool, dark and dry place in a well-sealed container. For opened unsalted almonds, its storage guide recommends up to six months in a kitchen cupboard or one year in the freezer; their quality may deteriorate after that. Follow the label too, and don’t eat almonds if they’re rancid, tough or mouldy.
Check the ingredients list and any warnings about the possible presence of other allergens on the exact variety. Almonds are an allergen in their own right. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergens which must be declared need to be clearly identified in the ingredients list; product-specific warnings may vary from pack to pack.
Not necessarily. PLUS says local prices may vary and that the delivery price applies. So check the price for your actual order rather than treating a web price you saw earlier as fixed.
