Choose peanuts after exercise only if you can tolerate them: peanuts are an allergen in their own right, and a general free-from claim does not make them suitable for everyone. Check the ingredients and warnings on the exact pack, and compare nutritional values per weighed portion. Flink lists 27 g of protein and 614 kcal per 100 g for Duyvis Unsalted, but these values do not prove any specific recovery benefit.
You’re looking for a snack after exercise, but need to avoid a particular allergen or ingredient. So check the ingredients and any warnings about the possible presence of other allergens on the exact pack. Stichting Voedselallergie explains that peanuts are an allergen in their own right.
You want to know how much protein a weighed portion of peanuts provides, without treating the snack as a proven recovery product. Voedingscentrum provides general information about protein and sport; when comparing products, check the nutritional values on the same portion basis.
You want to take added salt, how much you eat and the pack size into account. The term ‘unsalted’ says nothing in itself about allergens or the overall nutritional value.
First check whether peanuts are suitable for your dietary needs. Then choose between unsalted, salted or coated peanuts, and compare nutritional values and pack sizes based on your own portion.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the ingredients, allergen information and warnings on the exact product variant. | If I need to avoid a particular allergen or ingredient, a general free-from claim isn’t enough for me. Around 36% of consumers prioritise avoiding a specific allergen or ingredient. |
| Protein per portion | Compare protein per 100 g with the amount you actually weigh out. | I want to know how much protein my snack actually provides, rather than relying only on the value per 100 g. Around 29% of consumers prioritise the protein contribution of a snack. |
| Salt and energy | Check whether the product is unsalted, and compare salt and energy per equal-sized portion. | If I’m considering my salt and energy intake, I want to assess both the product variant and my portion. Around 21% of consumers prioritise this balance. |
| Packaging and use | Compare the net weight, price per kilogram and storage instructions after opening. | If I snack on peanuts regularly, I want to choose packaging that suits my usage and price comparisons. Around 14% of consumers consider packaging, how they buy and cost to be most important. |
Peanuts contain peanuts, so they aren’t suitable for anyone with a peanut allergy. A claim about a different ingredient doesn’t replace the allergen information; a warning about the possible presence of other nuts may also be relevant to your choice.
Identify the ingredient you need to avoid and check the ingredients and warnings on that specific pack. Don’t choose peanuts if you have a peanut allergy.
Flink lists 27 g of protein and 614 kcal per 100 g for Duyvis Unsalted. For an illustrative 25 g portion, that works out at 6.75 g of protein and 153.5 kcal. This is a calculation example, not a recommended portion or recovery dose.
Weigh the amount you want to eat and compare protein and energy on the same portion basis. Don’t treat nutritional values as proof of any specific recovery benefit.
Salted peanuts and coated peanuts are made differently from plain unsalted peanuts. Information about one variant doesn’t automatically apply to another flavour or preparation.
Check the ingredients, allergen information and nutritional values again for the variant you’ve chosen.
