For an organic late-night snack, choose an unsalted variety whose organic status you can check on the packaging, and decide on your portion separately from its certification. The European Commission links the EU organic logo to organic certification; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives an average of 158 kcal per 25 g of unsalted almonds as an example for the category, not as a personal portion recommendation.
You want to buy organic almonds and are looking for a verifiable claim on the packaging, rather than just words such as ‘pure’ or ‘natural’. The European Commission explains the certification behind the EU organic logo; Skal Biocontrole describes ‘organic’ as a legally protected term.
You want to choose an unsalted snack and keep an eye on how much you serve yourself. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives an average of 158 kcal per 25 g of unsalted almonds; this is an example for the category, not a personal portion recommendation.
You want a pack you can use for a snack as well as at other mealtimes. Unroasted almonds and a savoury roasted variety differ in flavour and composition, as product information from Albert Heijn, PLUS and Duyvis shows.
First check the organic claim and ingredients. Then compare the portion, flavour and storage instructions with how you plan to use the almonds.
| What to consider | What to look for when buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Organic origin | Check the EU organic logo and control code, and look separately at the stated origin. The European Commission explains the requirements for the logo, while Skal Biocontrole explains the protected term ‘organic’. | If organic origin is essential for my late-night snack, I want to be able to check the claim on the pack I choose. Around 31% of consumers in this choice context make this their top priority when buying. |
| Portion and ingredients | Compare nutritional values on the same basis, and check the salt and ingredients. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives an average of 158 kcal per 25 g of unsalted almonds as an example for the category. | I want to know how much I’m serving and what nutritional value that portion provides, not just what’s listed for the whole pack. Around 31% of consumers give portion size and ingredients the highest priority. |
| Flavour and versatility | Compare unroasted, lightly roasted and savoury roasted varieties; check the ingredients and salt separately. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends unroasted or lightly roasted nuts. | If I want to enjoy almonds both as a snack and at another mealtime, such as breakfast, I look for a flavour that works for both. Around 23% of consumers prioritise flavour and versatility. |
| Freshness and storage | Choose a pack size that suits your needs and follow the storage instructions on the label. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing nuts in a sealed container in a dry place, preferably somewhere cool. | If I only snack occasionally, I want to be able to store some without leaving the pack open. Around 15% of consumers give suitable storage and freshness the highest priority. |

The product title states 200 g. After opening, store the almonds in a sealed container in a cool, dry place.
No, not in every situation. According to the European Commission, the logo is compulsory for pre-packed foods produced in the EU and sold as organic; its use is optional for certain imported or non-pre-packed organic products. Where the logo is used, the packaging must also state the control code and the agricultural origin.
No. Don’t treat ‘natural’ as a substitute for an organic claim. Skal Biocontrole describes ‘organic’ as a legally protected term, and the European Commission links the EU organic logo to organic certification.
25 g is a useful amount for comparing nutritional values: the Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives an average of 158 kcal for this quantity of unsalted almonds. This is an example of nutritional value, not a universally recommended extra evening portion.
