For a film night, a small bag is a good choice if you want to set aside a set amount beforehand or take some with you. A larger bag is more practical if you’re filling bowls yourself for several snack breaks. Choose unsalted if that’s the variety you’re looking for when snacking regularly, or salted and seasoned if flavour is your priority. Always check the ingredients, allergens and contents of the exact pack.
You’re looking for an individual bag to enjoy in front of the TV or take with you, without having to open a large bag each time. Duyvis lists salted peanuts in a 60 g pack; Foods & Goods also describes a box containing individual 60 g bags.
You prefer unsalted peanuts when you snack regularly. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre includes unsalted nuts, including peanuts, in its Wheel of Five guidelines.
You want to fill bowls for several people or snack breaks. Dutch ranges at retailers such as Jumbo and PLUS include larger bags; how you’ll store the rest after opening is also worth considering when making your choice.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size and quantity | Net weight per bag and the number of bags in a multipack. | If I want to take some with me or set aside a specific amount beforehand, I look at the size of each bag. Around 31% of consumers prioritise pack size and quantity. |
| Unsalted ingredients | The variety and salt content per 100 g shown on the pack. | If I snack regularly, I may be looking specifically for an unsalted variety. Around 25% of consumers prioritise this. |
| Flavour and preparation | The exact flavour, ingredients and nutritional information. | If I’m looking for a savoury or seasoned flavour, I compare the product variety rather than relying on the preparation name alone. Around 19% of consumers prioritise flavour. |
| Sharing and storage | The net weight and storage instructions for an opened bag. | If I’m sharing with others or planning several snack breaks, I want to be able to divide the contents and store any leftovers properly. Around 13% of consumers prioritise this combination. |
| Allergens | The ingredients and any warnings on the current pack. | If several people are sharing, I first check that the information is suitable for those who’ll be eating. Around 12% of consumers prioritise this check. |
A 60 g pack tells you how much it contains, not how much is right for you. Duyvis lists, among other options, a 60 g salted pack.
Decide for yourself how much you want to set aside. If you’re choosing unsalted peanuts for regular snacking, you can also take the Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s advice into account.
The Duyvis portion pack described by Foods & Goods contains 20 bags of 60 g each. It’s a box with several packs, not a single bag.
Before choosing, check both the number of bags and the weight of each one.
A multipack may contain more in total than you need for one film night.
Unsalted peanuts still contain peanuts and may also contain other nuts. The 235 g Duyvis variety lists peanuts and warns that other nuts may be present.
Check the current allergen information for everyone who’ll be eating. If a child has a peanut allergy, don’t choose a product from the peanut category.
Albert Heijn’s warning concerns AH Extra Large Salted Peanuts in a tub with a best-before date of 04-11-2026. According to Albert Heijn, the affected packs may contain metal fragments.
