Choose a small, ready-to-eat pack if you want to snack straight away while you’re out; go for a larger pack if you’d rather measure out and store your own portions. The contents of a pack aren’t automatically the right amount for one snack: check the variety, ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack too.
If you want to snack while you’re out without decanting peanuts at home first, check the weight per pack as well as the pack size sold. Duyvis lists salted peanuts in a 60 g pack; Foods & Goods describes a multipack containing 20 packs of 60 g each.
If you want to decide how much to take with you, or prefer an unsalted variety, larger bags that you can portion out in advance are an option. Jumbo and PLUS list unsalted peanuts in 250 g packs.
If you want to prepare several snacks from one bag, compare the pack sizes and think about how you’ll seal the rest. ALDI and Lidl list salted peanuts in 250 g packs; the Nutrition Centre advises storing nuts in a tightly sealed container in a dry place.
| Consideration | What to look for when buying | Who this matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Ready to take with you | Check the weight per pack and whether you’re buying a single pack or a multipack. | If I want to snack straight away while I’m out, I don’t want to have to decant the peanuts first; around 36% of consumers say convenience on the go is their top buying priority. |
| Quantity and salt | Choose salted or unsalted peanuts and compare nutritional values on the same basis, for example per 100 g. | If I want to choose my own snack size and whether it’s salted, I’m happy to portion it out in advance; around 29% of consumers prioritise portioning their snacks themselves. |
| Flavour and texture | Check whether they’re plain peanuts or peanuts with a seasoned coating, and read the ingredients. | If I’m looking for a particular peanut flavour or a seasoned coating, I don’t want to lump those varieties together when comparing them; around 21% of consumers put flavour first. |
| Stocking up and storage | Compare pack sizes for the varieties you’re considering, and think about how you’ll seal the rest after opening. | If I want to get several snacks out of one pack, I take portioning and storage into account; around 14% of consumers put stocking up and cost first. |
60 g is the contents of the Duyvis pack mentioned, not automatically the amount you’ll want to eat in one sitting. General nutritional information about nuts may also use a different weight basis.
Choose your own snack portion separately from the pack size, and compare the nutritional values of the exact variety on the same basis.

Take only the amount you need from the bag, then seal the rest properly and store it somewhere cool and dry.
