Choose a multipack with individual bags if you want to take them with you or hand them out without weighing anything: Duyvis Provençale is listed as 20 bags of 45 g. If you’d rather decide how much to put in your lunchbox, a larger bag that you portion at home is a better fit. In either case, check the label and storage instructions for the exact variety.
Want to grab an individual bag as you head out without weighing it first? Foods & Goods lists Duyvis Provençale as 20 bags of 45 g. Decide for yourself whether that amount is right for what you want to take with you.
Individual bags are handy when you want to share out pre-portioned snacks. Before handing them out, check the ingredients and allergens on the packaging of the exact variety.
If you want to decide how much goes into each lunchbox, you can portion out a larger bag at home. Jumbo lists its Cocktail value pack as containing 500 g; once opened, follow the storage advice on the packaging.
