Choose individual packs if you want to hand them out or take them with you without portioning them first. Choose a larger bag if you want to decide how much to have and can seal the rest properly. Bidfood lists the Duyvis box as containing twenty 60 g bags, 1.20 kg in total. The 60 g is the pack size; it is not automatically a suitable amount for one late-night snack.
You’re looking for bags you can hand out or take with you individually. So check both the number of individual bags and the weight of each one, not just the total weight of the box. There are extra choking-related precautions for young children: the Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises against giving whole peanuts or nuts to children under 4.
You want to decide for yourself how much to have and make a deliberate choice between salted and unsalted peanuts. A larger bag could suit you if you portion it yourself and seal the rest properly. PLUS also lists sunflower oil alongside peanuts in its unsalted variety.
You’re putting peanuts out for several people and don’t necessarily need individual bags. A large pack is a different option from a multipack, so consider how much you’ll use and how you’ll store an opened bag.
Choose these if: you want to hand out or take bags with you without portioning them first. Bidfood lists the Duyvis box as containing 20 bags of 60 g, 1.20 kg in total.
Bear in mind: the total weight of the box and the contents of each bag. A 60 g bag isn’t automatically the amount you’ll want for one snack.
Choose this if: you want to decide how much to have or fill a bowl for sharing.
Bear in mind: you’ll need to portion it yourself and seal the opened pack properly. Also check the salt variety and ingredients.
First decide what matters most to you: individual packs, choosing your own portion, keeping some in stock or a particular flavour.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who this matters most to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual bags for sharing | Check the number of individual bags, the weight of each bag and the total weight. | If I want to hand out peanuts or take them in a lunchbox, I want to know how many individual bags there are and how much each one weighs. Around 36% of consumers prioritise individual bags. |
| Portion size and salt preference | Compare the pack size with how much you want to have, and check whether the variety is salted or unsalted. | For my late-night snack, I want to choose how much to have and make a deliberate choice between salted and unsalted. Around 29% of consumers prioritise portion size and salt preference. |
| Keeping stock and storage | Choose a total weight that suits how much you use, and check how to seal an opened pack properly. | If I want to keep some in stock, I check that the total weight suits how often we eat peanuts and that I can seal an opened bag properly. Around 21% of consumers consider having a useful supply their main priority. |
| Flavour | Keep plain salted peanuts, unsalted varieties and peanuts in a coating separate in your mind. | If my flavour preference is the deciding factor, I want to know exactly which variety I’m buying. Around 14% of consumers prioritise flavour over pack type or portion size. |
According to Bidfood, each Duyvis bag contains 60 g. This tells you how much is in the pack, not how much you should eat as a late-night snack.
First decide how much you want to have, then check whether the contents of each bag suit you.
A 500 g pack or a multi-buy offer isn’t the same as a box of individually wrapped bags.
Check the number of individual bags and the weight of each one. Don’t rely on the total weight or the offer name alone.
The 300 g PLUS variety lists 96% peanuts and sunflower oil, as well as 0 g salt per 100 g.
Check the ingredients and salt content separately on the label of the exact variety.
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing peanuts in a cool, dark, dry place in a well-sealed pack. A rancid smell or taste, chewiness or mould are signs that they have gone off.
Choose an amount that suits how much you use, seal an opened pack carefully and follow the storage advice on the label.
Compare the exact variety and pack: a multi-buy listing, a large weight and a stand-up pouch don’t necessarily describe the same format.
Worth considering if you’re looking for individual bags: Bidfood lists a box of 20 bags of 60 g, 1.20 kg in total.
Albert Heijn’s product listings distinguish between AH unsalted peanuts and Duyvis salted peanuts 3 pack.

The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises against giving whole peanuts to children under 4 because of the risk of choking. Older children can choke too, so make sure they eat calmly at the table and stay with them.
Check the ingredients and any warnings on the exact pack. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information must appear on the label of prepacked foods. Bidfood notes that the Duyvis box may contain other nuts.
Not necessarily: a listing such as ‘3 pack’ doesn’t tell you how many individual bags there are or how many grams each one contains. Bidfood explicitly lists the Duyvis box as containing 20 bags of 60 g.
