If you want to take peanuts with you without any preparation, choose individual bags and check the weight per bag; the Duyvis portion pack listed contains 60 g bags of salted peanuts. For an unsalted addition to breakfast, a larger pack that you can portion yourself is a better fit if you have time to prepare portions in advance. A multipack of 235 g bags is a bulk pack, not a multipack of small breakfast portions.
You want to grab a sealed bag from the cupboard and take it with you. Compare the number of individual bags, the weight per bag and whether they’re salted or unsalted. Dutch retailers list Duyvis 60 g portion bags.
You want to portion unsalted peanuts yourself to add to breakfast. A larger pack suits this approach, as long as you choose the amount carefully. The Voedingscentrum lists wholegrain breakfast cereals with yoghurt or a fortified dairy alternative and fruit as a breakfast option.
You use the same pack for several people or occasions. Compare multipacks of smaller bags with one larger bag, and bear children’s age and the risk of choking in mind. The Voedingscentrum advises against giving whole peanuts or nuts to children under 4.
First decide whether you want to take a bag with you, portion a larger pack yourself or share a bulk pack. Then check whether the peanuts are salted and how much each bag contains.
A good fit if: you want to take a sealed bag with you or hand one out straight away.
Bear in mind: the Duyvis option listed is salted. At 60 g per bag, it’s not the same as the Voedingscentrum’s 25 g handful used as a nutritional reference.
A good fit if: you want to divide a larger pack between several mealtimes or people.
Bear in mind: the Duyvis multipack listed contains 10 bags of 235 g. These are sharing bags, not pre-measured breakfast portions.
A good fit if: you want unsalted peanuts and can weigh out portions in advance.
Bear in mind: you’ll need to organise the portioning and storage yourself; the pack doesn’t determine how much you eat.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Taking them with you | Check the number of individual bags, the weight per bag and whether the peanuts are salted. | If I want to take a bag with me without weighing it, what matters most is how many are ready to go. Around 29% of consumers prioritise convenience on the go. |
| Unsalted and portion size | Read the ingredients and nutritional information for the exact product; don’t treat a reference amount as personal advice. | If I want an unsalted addition and to choose my own portion size, I’ll pick a pack that I can weigh out. Around 29% of consumers prioritise this nutritional choice and portion control. |
| Comparing larger packs | Compare the same salted or unsalted variety by price per kilogram and total weight, and factor in any delivery costs. | If I’m buying for several breakfasts or lunchboxes, I want to know which pack size suits my needs. Around 21% of consumers put the cost of a larger pack first. |
| Sharing and storage | Check the allergen and storage information, and take the age of those eating them into account. | If I’m sharing peanuts with others, I want to keep the ingredient and storage information with the portions. Around 21% of consumers focus on sharing and storage with care. |
A multipack may contain individual bags for taking with you, or it may contain larger sharing bags. For example, Duyvis options listed by Dutch retailers include 20 bags of 60 g and 10 bags of 235 g.
Check both the number of inner packs and the weight per bag before choosing.
For unsalted peanuts, the Voedingscentrum gives a nutritional reference of 157 kilocalories per 25 g handful. A 60 g bag contains more; the pack size doesn’t determine how much you want to eat.
Choose your portion size separately from the bag size, and check whether the peanuts are salted or unsalted.
A larger bag needs to be portioned by you; it isn’t automatically a multipack of portion-sized bags.
Compare the same salted or unsalted variety by price per kilogram, and choose a pack that suits how much you use.
The Voedingscentrum advises against giving whole peanuts or nuts to children under 4 because of the risk of choking. Older children can choke too.
Don’t give whole peanuts to children under 4; encourage older children to eat slowly and supervise them appropriately.
