First, choose a specific type of peanut whose ingredients and warnings are compatible with your gluten-free diet. Then compare the protein and energy content for the portion you actually eat. As a worked example, 25 g of Duyvis unsalted peanuts provide 6.75 g of protein and 153.5 kcal, based on published nutritional values. This is a nutritional contribution, not proof of faster recovery or that a claim such as ‘high in protein’ is permitted. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, most people who do sport do not need special protein products if they eat a healthy, varied diet.
You have coeliac disease and want to add peanuts to your sports nutrition. First, check the exact variety, then see how much protein your portion provides. The Dutch Coeliac Society also advises checking the ingredients of snacks with added ingredients.
You want to know how much protein you get from the amount you actually eat, while also keeping the snack’s energy content in mind. The nutritional values for the specific variety help you assess both for the same portion.
You want to buy a suitable variety at your usual supermarket. Compare the current packaging and product variety; a supermarket’s own-brand range is not automatically suitable for a gluten-free diet.
First check the ingredients and gluten information on the specific pack; only then compare protein, energy and practical packaging features.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Suitability for coeliac disease | Check the ingredients and any relevant warnings on the packaging of the exact variety. | If I want to eat peanuts with coeliac disease, the specific variety needs to be compatible with my gluten-free diet. Around 36% of consumers say suitability for coeliac disease is their main purchasing priority. |
| Protein per portion | Convert the nutritional value per 100 g to the amount you actually eat. | I want to know how my snack contributes to my sports nutrition, not just what it contains per 100 g. Around 29% of consumers prioritise the protein in their own snack portion. |
| Portion and energy | Compare protein and energy for the same portion size, using the values for the exact variety. | If I want to tailor the amount I snack on, I need to be able to assess the energy content for that same portion. Around 21% of consumers give portion size and energy the highest priority. |
| Packaging and purchase | Check the pack size and full product variety; compare the cost per kilogram if relevant. | I want packaging that suits my shopping and how I use the product, without assuming that similar product names refer to the same version. Around 14% of consumers prioritise practical purchasing and packaging costs. |
Plain peanuts and peanuts coated in batter or with other added ingredients do not have the same composition. The Dutch Coeliac Society advises checking for gluten-containing ingredients in mixes.
Check the ingredients and any warnings for the exact variety before choosing it.
Foodello lists Duyvis unsalted peanuts as containing 27 g of protein per 100 g. That works out at 6.75 g of protein in a 25 g portion.
Use the same actual portion size when comparing protein and energy.
The Joybuy product page for Duyvis unsalted peanuts uses the description ‘source of protein’. This is not the same as a substantiated ‘high in protein’ claim.
Base your comparison on the nutritional values for the exact variety, and do not turn the product description into a stronger claim.
An older Jumbo product page for unsalted peanuts says that the variety is no longer part of its online range. A similar name does not prove that the current pack has the same contents or recipe.

No. The Dutch Coeliac Society lists separately packaged unroasted and roasted peanuts as gluten-free, but advises checking mixes for gluten-containing additions. Peanuts with a batter coating are a separate product with different ingredients, so check their ingredients and warnings.
According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, new rules came into force on 1 January 2026 governing how and when food businesses must warn about the unintended presence of allergens. The Dutch Coeliac Society explains that warnings such as ‘may contain cereals containing gluten’ indicate a possible risk; they do not establish that every item contains gluten.
Based on the published figure of 27 g of protein per 100 g, 25 g provides 6.75 g of protein by calculation. At the published 614 kcal per 100 g, the same amount contains 153.5 kcal. This is a calculation based on average nutritional values, not a measurement of your own pack.
According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, most people who do sport do not need special protein shakes or bars if they eat a healthy, varied diet. Your protein requirements may be higher if you do strength or endurance training, but this general advice does not determine how many peanuts you personally need.
Check the current packaging for the exact variety before eating the product. Recipes and allergen information can change. If you have questions, contact the relevant supermarket and give the full product name so they can answer about the right variety.
