A snack on the go
Want to take a set amount with you without weighing it out at home? Duyvis Provençale is available in individual 45 g bags. That’s the weight of the bag’s contents, not a recommended serving.
Who are these packs for?
Portioning your own snack to share
If you want to share or decide for yourself how much to take, a larger bag can be a practical option. Jumbo, PLUS and ALDI list 300 g packs of party nuts; you decide how much to take out and keep the rest tightly sealed.
A snack shopper who checks ingredients
If ingredients or allergens influence your choice, check the information on the exact packaging. The Duyvis Provençale 45 g pack described here contains peanuts and wheat; product information and warnings can vary between variants.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether you want to take an individual bag with you or portion it yourself; then check which variant and pack size best suit the occasion.
Duyvis Provençale is available in 45 g bags, while JIP SNEL lists a pack containing 20 bags. Jumbo also lists a 125 g bag of Provençale. These pack sizes don’t tell you how much you should eat at one time.
| What to consider | What should you look for? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Amount in each bag | Check the contents of each individual bag and how many bags are in the multipack. | If you want to take a pre-portioned bag with you or hand out individual snacks. Around 33% of consumers prioritise portion convenience. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and any warnings on the exact variant. | If an allergy or other dietary requirement affects what you can choose. Around 27% of consumers prioritise suitability. |
| How much you’ll use | Check the total contents and consider whether you’ll share the larger pack or portion it yourself. | If you take party nuts with you regularly and want to choose a pack size you’ll actually use. Around 20% of consumers prioritise using up the amount they buy. |
| Flavour | Choose the variant you’d like and check the ingredients on that specific pack. | If you’re looking for a particular flavour for a get-together, whether for yourself or to share. Around 20% of consumers let their preferred flavour guide their choice. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a small pack is one recommended serving
The stated weight tells you how much is in the pack, not what’s generally recommended for one eating occasion.
Check the contents of each individual bag and decide for yourself how much you want to take or eat.
-
Relying on the flavour name alone if you have an allergy
The Duyvis Provençale 45 g pack described here contains peanuts and wheat. Other variants may have different ingredients or warnings.
Read the ingredients and warnings on the packaging of the exact variant. A flavour name or label such as ‘vegetarian’ doesn’t mean a product is allergen-free.
-
Applying advice about unsalted nuts to every party snack
The Voedingscentrum’s advice is for unsalted nuts; party nuts also have a coating and may contain added flavourings.
Check the ingredients and nutritional information for the specific snack rather than relying on the word ‘nuts’ alone.

Duyvis offers Provençale in individual 45 g bags and in a 125 g bag.
- The different pack sizes suit taking snacks with you, handing them out or portioning them yourself.
- Duyvis describes Provençale as having an onion and garlic flavour; this is the brand’s description, not an independent taste assessment. The 45 g variant described here contains peanuts and wheat.
Albert Heijn
Albert Heijn lists AH Borrelnoten cocktail as an own-brand product.
- A relevant product range if you’re looking for party nuts at Albert Heijn.
- Albert Heijn says product information may change. Check the ingredients and allergens on the pack you choose.
Jumbo
Jumbo lists cocktail- and Shanghai-style party nuts, as well as larger packs.
- The variants and pack sizes mentioned offer options for portioning snacks yourself.

Lidl
Lidl sells party nuts and presents Alesto as its range of nuts and savoury party snacks.
- A relevant retailer and product range to consider when choosing snacks for a get-together.
- Describing Alesto as a quality range is brand positioning, not an independent comparison of taste or nutritional value.
ALDI
ALDI lists Trader Joe’s party nuts in 300 g bags, in bacon and cheese, poesta or paprika flavours.
- The product page lists specific flavours and a larger bag that you can portion yourself.

PLUS
PLUS lists products including Borrelnoten Mild and Ham Kaas in 300 g bags.
- The product pages state the pack size and storage advice. PLUS describes the products mentioned as vegetarian.

Frequently asked questions
Is a 45 g bag or a 125 g pack automatically one recommended serving?
No. The weight tells you how much is in the pack, not what’s generally recommended for one eating occasion. Decide for yourself how much you want to take or eat.
How can I check party nuts if I have an allergy?
Read the ingredients and any warnings on the packaging of the exact variant. The Duyvis Provençale 45 g pack described here contains peanuts and wheat; don’t rely on the flavour name or information about a different variant alone.
What does a warning such as ‘May contain X’ mean?
This type of warning indicates possible cross-contamination. The NVWA says that producers or retailers must carry out a risk assessment for this. If you have a relevant allergy, the warning is important information alongside the ingredients list.
How should I store an opened bag of party nuts?
Seal the bag tightly and keep the contents dry. The Voedingscentrum advises storing nuts in a cool place; PLUS recommends keeping the party nuts in question somewhere cool, dry and dark. Follow the specific advice on your packaging too.
How do I choose between individual bags and a larger pack?
Choose individual bags if you want to take a set amount with you or hand them out. A larger bag is a good fit if you want to portion it yourself or share; check the total contents and whether you’ll actually use that amount.
