If you want to enjoy the same almonds at breakfast and during a TV night, check the ingredients, how they’re prepared and the organic product information. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list unroasted, unsalted organic almonds; PLUS lists organic almonds as an ingredient. Then choose a pack that suits how you’ll use them, and always check the allergen information: organic almonds aren’t suitable for anyone with an almond allergy.
You’re looking for organic almonds with no added salt that you can enjoy at breakfast and from a bowl during a TV night. Compare the ingredients and how they’re prepared, not just the description on the front of the pack. Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS provide product information about organic almonds.
You don’t eat almonds every day and want a pack that suits how often you’ll use them and the space you have to store them. The Albert Heijn, PLUS and Jumbo product pages list packs of 150 or 175 grams; the storage advice can help you decide how much you’ll use in time.
You want to check the organic claim and read the allergen information too. All three products reviewed contain almonds. None of them is suitable for anyone with an almond allergy; if you have other allergies, check the warnings on the specific product’s packaging.
Start with the product-specific organic information and ingredients, then compare allergens, pack size and storage instructions for the way you’ll use the almonds at breakfast and as a TV snack.
| What to consider | What should you look for? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Organic product information | Check the organic designation and any EU organic logo and control information. The European Commission says the logo is intended for products certified as organic by an authorised control authority or control body. | If I’m buying organic, I want to be able to verify the claim on the product. Around 28% of consumers say verifiable organic certification is their top priority. |
| Ingredients and preparation | Check whether the almonds are unroasted and unsalted, and see which ingredients are listed on the label. Albert Heijn and Jumbo describe the products reviewed as unroasted and unsalted; the ingredients lists for Jumbo and PLUS list only organic almonds. | I want one simple option for breakfast and as a TV snack, rather than choosing a separately seasoned snack. For around 22% of consumers, a simple ingredient list comes first. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredients and product-specific warnings about possible cross-contamination. The products reviewed contain almonds; warnings about other nuts, peanuts and sesame may vary by product. | If someone sharing the food with me has a relevant allergy, I want to know what’s in the pack and which warnings apply. Around 17% of consumers give allergen information top priority. |
| Pack size and storage | Compare the net weight with how much you’ll use, and follow the storage instructions on the packaging. The packs reviewed contain 150 or 175 grams and advise storing in a cool, dry, dark place. Voedingscentrum gives six months in a kitchen cupboard as general storage advice for opened, unsalted almonds. | I want a quantity that suits occasional snacking or regular use at breakfast. Around 17% of consumers prioritise portion convenience and managing their supplies. |
| Where to buy and cost | Compare the current price on a like-for-like basis and check where you can buy the pack. Albert Heijn lists the product reviewed as available in store; this doesn’t tell you whether it’s in stock at a particular location. | I want to work out in advance what quantity and buying option suit me, and what they’ll cost. For around 16% of consumers, the total cost of the purchase is the main consideration. |
Organic certification doesn’t mean a product is free from allergens. The almond products reviewed contain almonds and may also carry warnings about other allergens.
Check the ingredients and warnings on the pack you’re buying. Don’t choose an almond product for someone with an almond allergy.
A description such as ‘roasted’ or ‘savoury’ doesn’t, by itself, prove that a product is certified organic. How it’s prepared, any added ingredients and the organic product information are separate things to check.
Look for product-specific organic information, and also read the ingredients and preparation details.
For the 150-gram pack reviewed, Albert Heijn lists six product portions of 25 grams. This is information about the pack, not personal dietary advice.
If you don’t want to use the whole pack, portion some into a bowl beforehand and store the rest according to the packaging instructions.
A larger pack is only practical if you use its contents before the quality starts to decline. Unopened and opened products may also have different storage instructions.
Choose a pack size that suits how often you eat almonds, and follow the storage advice on the packaging.
