Snacking on the go, with no prep
Want to grab your own bag for the journey to an Oranje match get-together, without weighing out the peanuts first? Duyvis lists a 60 g salted bag; One Stop Office Shop gives an order quantity of 20 for this bag.
Who are these options for?
Those who like to choose their own portion
If you want to decide how much to take and are looking for unsalted peanuts, you can use a larger bag as a stock-up option and portion it out in advance. ALDI and PLUS list unsalted peanuts in 250 g bags.
Planning for several match get-togethers
If you’re buying for more than one occasion, check how many individual bags there are or the contents of a larger bag. One Stop Office Shop lists the Duyvis 60 g bag in orders of 20.
What should you look for when choosing?
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Taking them with you without weighing them out | Check the weight per bag and the number of bags per order. | If I don’t want to weigh out peanuts while I’m on the go, I look for an individual bag and check how many I’m actually ordering. Around 36% of consumers say the convenience of taking them along with no preparation is the deciding factor. |
| Choosing your own portion | Check the pack weight and ingredients; a larger bag isn’t a single-serving pack. | If I want to measure out my own portion and take unsalted peanuts, a larger bag works well as a stock-up option. Around 29% of consumers prioritise this combination of portioning their own and choosing unsalted. |
| Order size and stocking up | Check the sales unit and best-before information on the packaging. | If I’m buying for more than one match get-together, I want to know how many bags I’ll have at home and whether I’ll use them in time. Around 21% of consumers put order size and avoiding unused stock first. |
| Salted option | Read the product name and ingredients to identify the exact option. | If I specifically want salted peanuts, I check the option rather than relying on the brand name alone. Around 14% of consumers prioritise a preference for salted peanut flavour. |
Common pitfalls
-
Mistaking a snack bag for a recommended serving
A 60 g bag states the pack weight; it doesn’t automatically advise you how much to eat.
Decide for yourself how much you want to take, and don’t treat ‘small bag’ as dietary advice.
-
Looking only at the weight per bag
One Stop Office Shop states that the Duyvis 60 g bag is ordered in quantities of 20. So the weight per bag doesn’t tell you how many bags you’re ordering.
Check the sales unit before completing your order.
-
Assuming unsalted means allergen-free
The PLUS option is unsalted, but contains peanuts and may contain cashews.
Check the allergen label on the exact pack, especially if you’re buying for someone else.
-
Assuming a larger bag with the same brand name is the same product
The Duyvis product pages from Joybuy included here are for 235 g and 370 g packs, not the individual 60 g bag.
Compare the full product option and pack weight; with a larger bag, you may need to portion it yourself.

Frequently asked questions
Is a 60 g bag automatically a suitable serving?
No. The 60 g refers to the pack weight and isn’t automatically a recommended amount to eat. The MDL Fonds recommends that adults eat a handful of unsalted nuts (25 g) a day; this is nutritional guidance, not a general serving rule for a bag of salted peanuts.
How many bags are in an order of the Duyvis 60 g bag?
It depends on the retailer. One Stop Office Shop lists this bag in orders of 20, so check the sales unit with the retailer you’re ordering from.
How should I store peanuts after measuring out a portion?
Follow the storage and resealing instructions on the packaging of the product you choose. For the salted peanuts included in this comparison, AH recommends storing them in a cool, dark, dry place and sealing the pack securely after use.
What should I look for in the allergen information?
Check the label on the exact pack, even for unsalted peanuts. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that allergen information must appear on the label of pre-packed products; for example, the PLUS option included in this comparison may contain cashews.
Are whole peanuts automatically suitable for young children?
No, don’t assume they are. Jumbo warns that young children can choke on peanuts; the MDL Fonds says whole nuts aren’t safe for children under four because of the risk of choking.
