Distinguish between a peanut snack and food that helps you meet your carbohydrate needs during marathon training. Albert Heijn says that Duyvis Oven baked sundried tomato and herbs contains 30% less fat than specific Duyvis party nuts and tiger nuts. This is not a comparison with all peanuts, nor proof that the product is low in fat. Check the nutrition table for the exact variant and your portion, and plan your carbohydrate intake separately.
You want to choose a peanut snack between training sessions and find out whether ‘less fat’ refers to a specific product comparison or simply the way it is prepared. Albert Heijn’s product description and Duyvis’s preparation information show why the distinction matters.
You’re training for a marathon and don’t want to confuse a peanut snack with food that helps meet your carbohydrate needs. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre discusses these needs in relation to endurance sports; generic nutrition values for peanuts are not brand-specific figures.
You’re looking for an unsalted option at your usual supermarket, but want to consider the salt content separately from the fat content. Product listings from Albert Heijn, Jumbo, Lidl, ALDI and PLUS offer familiar options to choose from.
First decide whether you’re choosing peanuts as a snack or want to include them in your training nutrition plan. Then assess the specific fat claim, preparation method, portion and nutrition table separately.
| What to consider | What to look for when buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| What ‘less fat’ means | Check which products are named as the comparison, and compare the fat per 100 g on the labels of the exact variants. | If I choose a crunchy snack, I want to know exactly what the fat claim refers to. Around 33% of consumers prioritise a clearly specified relative reduction in fat. |
| Role during training | Decide when you’ll eat it and compare the carbohydrates per portion. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, a generic 25 g portion of unsalted peanuts contains 3 g of carbohydrates, 12,9 g of fat and 157 kcal; these are not figures for a specific branded variant. | If I’m planning food for my marathon training, I don’t want to automatically count a snack as carbohydrate-focused training fuel. Around 33% of consumers prioritise its role in their training nutrition. |
| Portion and label | Weigh the amount you eat and use the nutrition values on the packaging of your chosen variant. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s 25 g reference portion is not a recommendation for a specific product. | If I want to keep track of how much I snack on, I want to know what my portion contains. Around 17% of consumers prioritise portion control. |
| Unsalted options | Check that the exact variant is unsalted, and read the nutrition table too. Lidl’s listing for the roasted variant reviewed says it is available in store only. | If I’m looking for unsalted peanuts, I don’t want to confuse that choice with reduced fat. Around 17% of consumers prioritise an unsalted option. |
Duyvis describes Oven Baked Peanuts Original as prepared without adding oil or fat. Albert Heijn’s 30% less fat claim refers to a different Duyvis variant and specific party nuts and tiger nuts. Neither description on its own proves that the peanuts contain less fat.
Compare the full product name and nutrition table for the variant you want to buy.
According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre’s generic reference, 25 g of unsalted peanuts contains 157 kcal and 3 g of carbohydrates. This general portion value is not the label value for a branded product; energy and carbohydrates are also different nutritional values.
First decide whether you want a snack or food that fits your plan for carbohydrates during training.
The 30% less fat claim names specific Duyvis party nuts and tiger nuts as the comparison. It therefore doesn’t say how that variant compares with every other type of peanut.
Read which products are named as the comparison and compare nutrition values on the same basis, such as per 100 g.
For this topic, both a specific relative fat claim and separate information about the preparation method are relevant.
Albert Heijn has an unsalted own-brand option and also lists the specific Duyvis claim that’s relevant to this choice.
Jumbo has a listed unsalted own-brand option; its product listing also distinguishes Duyvis Original and Honing as separate variants.
Lidl lists a 200 g roasted, unsalted peanut variant.
ALDI lists 250 g of roasted, unsalted Trader Joe’s peanuts; ALDI is the retailer and Trader Joe’s is the product name.
PLUS has a listed 250 g unsalted peanut variant for comparison as a snack.
These product options include unsalted, roasted and raw peanuts, as well as peanuts in their shells, for snacking or preparing yourself. The listed nutrition values can help you compare variants, but none of these product names on its own makes a claim about reduced fat.

No, that comparison doesn’t automatically mean so. For Duyvis Oven baked sundried tomato and herbs, Albert Heijn names specific party nuts and tiger nuts as the comparison products. Check the nutrition table for the exact variant you’re considering.
Not simply because they’re peanuts. For a generic 25 g portion of unsalted peanuts, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists 3 g of carbohydrates; this is not a brand-specific value. Assess your training nutrition based on your carbohydrate plan and the nutrition values on the exact pack.
Check the label on the exact pack. According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information must appear on pre-packed food. Also check the ingredients and any warnings about possible traces.
No. The warning Albert Heijn published on 20 May 2026 applies only to AH Pinda’s extra groot gezouten in a tub with a best-before date of 04-11-2026. AH said the warning does not apply to the same product with a different best-before date; check that your pack matches exactly.
The Lidl product page for the 200 g roasted, unsalted variant says ‘In store only’. This describes the listed sales method, but doesn’t confirm stock at a particular store.
