If you’re taking whole peanuts with you to have alongside lunch and organic is important to you, first check the organic labelling on the exact pack. Then look at the salt content, allergens and how much you want to take with you. The European Commission says the EU organic logo must be accompanied by the control body’s code number and an indication of agricultural origin. Albert Heijn describes an unsalted option as organic, but that product description is no substitute for checking the pack. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses a 25-gram handful as a general nutritional reference for unsalted peanuts, not as a universal portion recommendation.
