If you want to take something with you without any preparation, choose an individual bag; if you want to decide how much to have, measure out a portion from a larger pack in advance. Check the weight of each bag: the Duyvis multipack described by Foods & Goods contains 60 g bags, while Albert Heijn’s unsalted 4-pack consists of four separate 295 g packs. Unsalted peanuts are in line with the Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s general advice on nuts, but which flavour goes best with coffee is a matter of personal preference.
If you want to take a sealed bag with you to have alongside your coffee without weighing out peanuts first, check the weight of each individual bag. The Duyvis multipack covered in our research contains 60 g bags; Foods & Goods describes a box of 20 bags.
If you want to decide how much to take with you, a larger pack is a good choice for measuring out a portion in advance. Store the opened pack in a tightly sealed container; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises keeping peanuts in a cool, dark and dry place.
If you’re mainly looking for salted or seasoned peanuts, compare the exact product and its ingredients. A savoury flavour doesn’t necessarily mean it goes better with coffee.
First decide what matters most to you: convenience, control over the amount, flavour, or a regular routine for stocking and storing your peanuts. The scenarios below will help you compare these priorities.
The pack examples vary considerably: Foods & Goods lists 20 bags of 60 g in the Duyvis multipack; Albert Heijn describes its unsalted 4-pack as four separate 295 g items. So a pack label alone doesn’t tell you how much is in each individual pack.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this most important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Ready to take with you | Check the number of bags and the weight of each one, not just the pack name. | If I don’t want to weigh anything before I leave, a sealed bag matters to me. Around 33% of consumers prioritise being able to take something with them without preparation. |
| Quantity and ingredients | Check the ingredients and nutritional information for the exact product; decide for yourself how much you want to take. | If I want to choose my own portion and ingredients, I compare the information for the specific pack. Around 27% of consumers prioritise having that control. |
| Flavour preference | Choose the type of flavour, then check that the ingredients match your preference. | If I’m mainly looking for a salted or seasoned flavour to have with my coffee, that’s my priority. For around 20% of consumers, flavour is the most important consideration. |
| Stocking up and storage | Choose an amount you’ll use and follow the storage advice on the pack. | If I regularly take peanuts with me, I want to be able to seal the pack properly once it’s open. Around 20% of consumers prioritise having a regular routine for stocking and storing their peanuts. |
A portion pack and a 4-pack can have very different packaging formats. Foods & Goods describes Duyvis bags of 60 g; Albert Heijn describes its unsalted 4-pack as four separate 295 g packs.
Check both the number of individual packs and the weight of each one. Then decide separately how much you want to take with you for one coffee break.
A multipack of large packs could leave you with more stock than you intended to buy for one coffee break.
Unsalted, salted, seasoned and coated peanuts are different product varieties. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s general advice on unsalted nuts doesn’t automatically apply to every peanut snack.
Compare the ingredients and nutritional information for the exact product, using the same weight each time. Don’t rely on the flavour name instead of checking what’s in the product.
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing peanuts in a cool, dark and dry place in a tightly sealed container.
Measure out the portion you’re taking with you in advance, then seal the remaining peanuts properly straight away. Also follow the storage advice on your pack.

No. 60 g is the weight of the Duyvis bag covered in our research; it won’t necessarily be the portion you want. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 g as a handful in its nutritional table for unsalted peanuts; Duyvis lists an average portion of 30 g for its 235 g unsalted variety. These amounts come from different product information, so decide for yourself how much you want to take with you.
Store the remaining peanuts in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dark and dry place. This is the Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s storage advice for peanuts; also follow the instructions on your pack. For Duyvis Unsalted Peanuts 235 g, the product information recommends storing them in a light- and airtight container after opening.
No, peanuts contain peanuts as an ingredient. If you have other food allergies, also check the ingredients and warnings about the possible presence of other allergens. For example, the product information for Duyvis Unsalted Peanuts 235 g states ‘Contains: Peanuts’ and ‘May contain: Nuts’.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack of the exact variety. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked products. This requirement doesn’t prove that a particular product is suitable for your allergy; check the product information if you’re unsure.
