Choose a ready-to-go pack if you want to take peanuts with you without any preparation; measuring out your own unsalted peanuts is a better option if you want to choose the quantity and variety yourself. FOOX lists the Duyvis multipack as a box of 20 60-gram bags, while the Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses a 25-gram handful of unsalted peanuts as a nutritional reference. A convenient pack to take with you and a quantity that suits your snack break are therefore two separate choices.
For anyone who wants to take an individually wrapped pack between home, school and a place to study. FOOX lists the Duyvis multipack as a box of 20 60-gram bags; remember to check the weight of each bag too.
For anyone who wants to measure out their own amount of unsalted peanuts in advance, rather than taking a whole shop-bought bag. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses a 25-gram handful as a nutritional reference; this is not a recommended portion size.
For anyone who wants to divide a shop-bought pack between several snack breaks and compare packs by weight. The 250- and 300-gram PLUS packs are different products and should be assessed separately.
A good fit if: you want to grab something for a study break without measuring it out first. FOOX lists the Duyvis multipack as containing 20 60-gram bags.
Bear in mind: the quantity in each bag is fixed, and the variety listed is salted. Check whether 60 grams suits your planned snack break.

Bear in mind: you’ll need to portion them in advance and take a suitable resealable container with you.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Convenience and pack weight | Check the weight of each individual bag as well as the number of bags in the box. | If I want to grab something without any preparation, I make sure the pack doesn’t contain more than I want for my study break. Around 38% of consumers prioritise convenience when taking snacks with them. |
| Unsalted ingredients | Read the ingredients and salt content for the exact variety; check allergen information separately. | If I’m looking for unsalted peanuts for regular breaks, I check the packaging rather than relying on the brand name alone. Around 31% of consumers give ingredients their highest priority. |
| Cost per snack break | Compare current costs per kilogram, then compare the cost for the same quantity of your choice; check the unit you need to buy as well. | If I’m buying peanuts for several study breaks, I want to compare shop-bought bags and boxes on an equal basis. Around 16% of consumers give the cost per snack break the most weight in their decision. |
| Flavour you prefer | Check the full variety name and ingredients; plain peanuts are not the same as coated peanuts. | If I want to take a particular flavour with me, I check the product itself rather than looking at the brand name alone. Around 15% of consumers consider flavour their deciding priority. |
