If you’re specifically looking for less fat, check the claim and the comparison group stated for the exact variant. Albert Heijn’s Duyvis Oven Roasted Borrelnoten listing claimed 30% less fat than regular peanuts in a crispy coating; the product pages in question also stated that the products had been discontinued. Oven-roasting without added oil or fat does not, in itself, prove a lower total fat content, while unsalted peanuts are a separate option for adding to breakfast; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre includes unsalted nuts in its Wheel of Five guidelines.
You want to assess a genuine fat-reduction claim and know what the product is being compared with. The claim on the Duyvis borrelnoten reviewed referred to peanuts in a crispy coating, not necessarily plain, uncoated peanuts.
You’re looking for an unsalted addition that you can weigh out and take with you. Maastricht UMC+ describes a breakfast of porridge oats, yoghurt, fruit and unsalted nuts, covered and left in the fridge overnight. This is a serving suggestion, not a test of specific peanuts.
You want to know whether oil or fat has been added during roasting. Duyvis describes Oven Baked Peanuts Original as made without added oil or fat; that alone does not mean the product has a lower total fat content.
First decide whether your priority is a proven fat claim, an unsalted addition to breakfast, easy portioning or the preparation method. These are not the same thing.
The breakdown below is based on consumers looking for peanuts for a quick breakfast on the go.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who might prioritise this? |
|---|---|---|
| Fat claim | Read the full claim, the comparison group and the nutrition table for the exact variant. | If I’m looking for a proven reduction in fat, I want to know which product the peanuts are being compared with. Around 36% of consumers give the fat claim top priority. |
| Breakfast pairing | Check whether the variant is unsalted and goes well with the other parts of your breakfast. | When I add peanuts to breakfast, I mainly look for an unsalted option that works with my other breakfast foods. Around 29% of consumers put breakfast pairings first. |
| Taking a portion with you | Check the pack size, whether the packaging can be resealed and the storage advice on the label. | For a breakfast I prepare in advance, it matters whether I can easily weigh out and take a portion with me. Around 21% of consumers choose mainly for convenience on the go. |
| Preparation method | Read the preparation details and ingredients; roasted or oven-baked does not automatically mean a lower total fat content. | If I mainly want to know whether oil or fat was added during preparation, I check the specific product information. Around 14% of consumers prioritise the preparation method. |
Duyvis’s stated 30% claim compared the borrelnoten with regular peanuts in a crispy coating. This is not necessarily a comparison with uncoated peanuts.

Use this information to understand the claim and comparison group, not as confirmation that you can buy the products now.
The Jumbo and PLUS variants mentioned contain 250 g; the contents of a pack do not automatically determine how much you should prepare for one breakfast.
If you like, weigh out a portion in advance and reseal the rest according to the label. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing borrelnootjes in a cool, dry, dark place, in a tightly sealed container.
Portioning them yourself and resealing the pack properly after use take a little preparation.
Albert Heijn issued a warning about AH Pinda’s extra groot gezouten in a tub with a best-before date of 04-11-2026, due to possible metal fragments. The warning applies to that specific product variant.
Do not eat the product named in the warning, and check the product name, packaging and best-before date. Do not extend the warning to all unsalted AH peanuts.
Worth considering when comparing a preparation method that uses no added oil or fat with borrelnoten that carry an explicit claim about having less fat.

No. Duyvis describes Oven Baked Peanuts Original as made without added oil or fat, but this description of the preparation method does not prove a reduction in total fat compared with a reference product.
Maastricht UMC+ describes porridge oats with yoghurt, fruit and mixed unsalted nuts, covered and left in the fridge overnight. This is a make-ahead suggestion using mixed nuts, not a tested recipe featuring a specific peanut variant.
Check the allergen information on the packaging of the exact variant. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergens must be clearly listed on the label; information about one product does not automatically apply to other peanut products.
