Choose individual packets if you want something ready to take with you or share without any preparation. Choose a larger unsalted pack if you want to decide the portion size yourself and can prepare portions in advance. The Duyvis Portiepack is offered as 20 packets of 60 grams (Foods & Goods; Duyvis confirms the 60-gram variant), but that may not be the right amount for your preferred snack portion. When sharing snacks, always check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant.
You want to grab a sealed packet from your supplies for your journey or working day. Individual packets are one packaging option; check how many grams each packet contains. Duyvis lists several packaging options, including a 60-gram version.
You want to portion unsalted peanuts into snack-sized servings yourself and keep the rest sealed properly. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre includes unsalted nuts in the Wheel of Five; this does not automatically apply to salted or coated varieties.
You’re buying for several people and want to keep packaging quantities and allergen information clear. Keep the product information with the snacks. The NVWA outlines information requirements for professional food providers, including for unpackaged products.
First decide whether you need individual packets or would rather portion the peanuts yourself. Then compare the quantity, ingredients and information you need to share the snacks.
| Consideration | What to look for when buying | Who should pay particular attention? |
|---|---|---|
| Taking them with you | Check the number of individual packets and the weight of each; a large bag containing several portions is not automatically a multipack. | If I want to put something straight in my bag or hand it out separately, I want to know how many packs I’ll get. Around 29% of consumers put convenience on the go first. |
| Choosing your own amount and an unsalted option | Read the ingredients and nutritional information for the exact variant, and check the net weight. | If I want to weigh out my own portion and choose unsalted peanuts, I’m happy to do a little extra preparation. Around 28% of consumers prioritise this combination. |
| Cost per snack | Compare the current price per kilogram and work it out for the same portion size. | If I want to compare the cost of my own snack portion, I look beyond the price of a single pack. Around 22% of consumers put this cost comparison first. |
| Allergens and sharing | Keep the label, check the allergens for each variant, and compare the product name and best-before date with any warnings. | If I’m buying for several people, I want to be able to check what’s in each variant. Around 21% of consumers prioritise clear allergen information and controlled distribution. |
