Who might find peanuts useful around exercise and food shopping?

People who exercise and want a protein snack

You want to know how much protein a typical portion of peanuts provides, without treating a single snack as a complete diet for training and recovery. The Voedingscentrum lists 6.3 g of protein per 25 g handful of unsalted peanuts.

People who regularly snack on unsalted nuts

You pay attention to the ingredients, portion size and how peanuts fit into what you eat each day. The Voedingscentrum recommends a handful of unsalted nuts daily, with a variety of different types.

People who have their shopping delivered

You want to add peanuts to a regular grocery order, so you check delivery availability for your address, the ordering requirements and the time slots on offer.

What should you look for when choosing peanuts?

The breakdown below relates to consumers looking for peanuts as a source of extra protein through online grocery shopping in the Netherlands. Each consumer is counted against their single main reason for buying.

What to consider What should you look for? Who is this most relevant to?
Protein per portion Base your calculation on the amount you eat; the Voedingscentrum lists 6.3 g of protein per 25 g handful of unsalted peanuts. If you want to know what a snack actually contributes around exercise, consider your own portion. Around 36% of consumers prioritise its protein contribution.
Ingredients and portion size Check the variety, nutrition table, ingredients and allergen information on the pack you buy. If you plan to eat peanuts regularly, salt, portion size and the overall ingredients may all matter. Around 29% of consumers say this is their main reason for choosing a product.
Home delivery Check your delivery address, available time slots, the exact variety and any current service updates. If you don’t want to collect your shopping yourself, delivery to your address is the deciding factor. Around 21% of consumers prioritise this option.
Total order cost Compare pack sizes and consider the total shopping basket and delivery terms too. If you mainly want to keep track of the cost of your whole order, the price of the bag isn’t the only amount that matters. Around 14% of consumers prioritise the total cost.

Things to consider when buying and ordering

  • Confusing protein per 100 g with protein in your portion

    The amount per 100 g isn’t the same as the amount in a handful. The Voedingscentrum lists 6.3 g of protein in 25 g of unsalted peanuts.

    Use the weight you actually eat and check the nutrition table for the exact variety. Don’t assume that the protein figure alone guarantees better recovery after exercise.

  • Assuming the price of a bag is the cost of a delivered order

    Comparing the price of a single pack won’t tell you the cost of the whole order. Jumbo lists a minimum order value of € 50, excluding packaging, deposit and delivery charges; the exact minimum depends on your postcode.

    Check the terms for your address and, where it makes sense, add peanuts to a shop that includes groceries you already need.

  • Applying a product recall to all peanuts

    Albert Heijn’s safety warning concerns AH Pinda’s extra groot gezouten in a tub with a best-before date of 04-11-2026. According to AH, the product may contain metal particles.

    Do not eat a pack of this variety with that best-before date. The warning does not apply to other varieties or brands.
