If you want to add organic cashew nuts to your online grocery order, compare the unsalted options from AH Biologisch and BIO+ at PLUS by checking their ingredients and ordering conditions. Looking for unroasted nuts without cooking oil? Check how they are processed and whether the exact pack is available to order online: organic and unsalted does not automatically mean unroasted.
You want to add cashew nuts to your breakfast and check the organic labelling on the pack, rather than relying on words such as ‘natural’. The European Commission explains that the EU organic logo is reserved for certified organic products.
You want unsalted nuts that have not been fried in oil, so you distinguish between unroasted, roasted and fried. Product information from Albert Heijn and PLUS shows why you should check the processing method and ingredients separately.
You want your nuts delivered with your regular groceries, so you check whether that specific option is available to order online.
First check the organic labelling, then the processing method and ingredients, and finally whether the exact pack is available to order online.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who should prioritise this? |
|---|---|---|
| Organic certification | Check the organic labelling and, where applicable, the EU organic logo, control code and agricultural origin on the exact pack. | If I buy organic, I want the labelling to match the specific pack. Around 36% of consumers prioritise verifiable organic certification. |
| Processing and ingredients | Check whether the nuts are unroasted, roasted or fried, and read the ingredients list. Albert Heijn and PLUS list sunflower oil in the organic options available to order that were reviewed. | If I want to avoid cooking oil or pay close attention to ingredients, I check the full list and allergen information. Around 29% of consumers prioritise ingredients and processing. |
| Ordering online | Check whether the exact option is available in your online basket and review the ordering conditions for your chosen delivery slot. | If I want my nuts delivered with my regular groceries, that specific pack needs to be available to order online. Around 21% of consumers prioritise ease of ordering. |
| Packaging and storage | Choose a net weight that suits how much you use, and follow the storage advice on the pack. The AH Biologisch and BIO+ options reviewed for online ordering both contain 200 g. | If I don’t use cashew nuts often, I want a quantity that suits my needs and can be stored as directed on the label. Around 14% of consumers prioritise stock levels and packaging. |
Organic certification alone does not tell you whether nuts are unroasted or contain cooking oil. So an unsalted option could still be fried or roasted.
Check the organic labelling and ingredients separately, and read how the exact option has been processed.
A product page may refer to an option sold only in store or no longer available in the online range. This could mean your grocery order doesn’t include the pack you’re looking for.
Check the online availability of the exact option before completing your grocery order.
If the option isn’t available online, you may need to make a separate trip to the shop or place a different order.
AH Biologisch offers an unsalted fried option for online orders, as well as a separate unroasted option.
BIO+ is the product brand for the 200 g pack of unsalted cashew nuts; PLUS is where you can order them.
The organic option reviewed is Jumbo Organic Unroasted Cashew Nuts, in a 175 g pack.
Lidl describes 175 g packs of organic unroasted cashew nuts.
Duyvis Cashews Original is worth considering if you’re looking for oven-roasted nuts without added oil.
ALDI’s product page describes TRADER JOE'S Roasted and Unsalted Cashew Nuts in a 250 g pack.
No. An unsalted option may be fried or roasted and contain sunflower oil. So check how the exact pack has been processed and read its ingredients, rather than relying on the word ‘unsalted’.
Not always. The European Commission says the logo is compulsory for pre-packed organic food produced in the EU and sold as organic. It is optional for imported organic products that meet EU import requirements. The logo must be accompanied by the control code and an indication of the agricultural origin.
Read the allergen information for the exact option before ordering, and check the pack when it arrives too. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains that allergen information must be available; organic does not mean allergen-free. For example, BIO+ lists cashew nuts and a possible presence of peanuts.
It depends on the exact option. Albert Heijn lists the 150 g organic unroasted pack reviewed as available in store only; the 175 g Jumbo pack reviewed is no longer in the online range, and Lidl lists its option as available in store. Check current availability before ordering.
Follow the label and store the nuts somewhere cool, dry and dark. For opened unsalted cashew nuts, Voedingscentrum’s general advice is to keep them in a kitchen cupboard for six months or in the freezer for one year; always follow the product instructions and use your judgement about quality. Rancidity, a chewy texture or mould are signs that they have spoiled.
