Compare peanuts by the amount of protein in the portion you’ll actually take with you, and consider energy, salt and packaging too. For Duyvis Unsalted 235 g, a 30 g portion provides 8.1 g of protein and 184.2 kcal, based on Flink’s Dutch product information. This is a calculation example, not a recommended portion. Don’t assume that a protein value per 100 g automatically proves a product can be labelled ‘high in protein’, and consider sports nutrition as part of your overall diet.
You want something to eat on the go that contributes to your protein intake, perhaps around strength training or endurance exercise. Compare the amount in a weighed portion and consider it as part of your overall diet. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre notes that most people who exercise don’t need special protein products.
You’re looking for peanuts with no added salt and want to decide in advance how much you’ll eat. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre includes unsalted nuts in its Wheel of Five; also check the energy per portion, as the product information for Duyvis Unsalted lists 614 kcal per 100 g.
You choose an amount that suits your journey before setting off and want to know how to store an opened pack. Pack sizes vary; storage advice for normal household conditions isn’t a shelf-life recommendation for a hot car.
Start by checking protein and energy per portion, then compare the salt content of the exact variety and choose packaging that suits your journey and how you’ll use it.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Protein per portion | Compare protein and energy per 100 g, then calculate the amounts for the weight you want to take with you. Flink lists 27 g of protein and 614 kcal per 100 g for Duyvis Unsalted. | If I want to estimate a specific protein contribution around exercise, I look at my weighed portion and my overall diet. Around 36% of consumers prioritise protein per portion. |
| Salt and portion size | Check the salt and energy per 100 g for the exact variety; a pack isn’t automatically one portion. PLUS lists 0.78 g of salt per 100 g for its Extra Large Salted peanuts. | If you’re looking for a snack with no added salt or want to limit the amount in advance, compare the variety and portion size. Around 29% of consumers prioritise salt and portion control. |
| Taking them with you and storage | Compare the pack weight and follow the instructions on the packaging. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre says opened unsalted peanuts can be kept in a kitchen cupboard for six months; this isn’t advice for storing them in a hot car. | If I want to take a suitable amount with me and save the rest for later, I check the packaging and storage advice. Around 21% of consumers prioritise travel convenience and storage. |
| Quantity and purchase | Compare the current price per kilogram and pack weight of the exact variety; both Jumbo and ALDI list 250 g options of unsalted peanuts. | If you want to choose an amount that suits how you’ll use it and compare the cost, check the price per kilogram and pack size.

For Duyvis Unsalted, Flink lists 27 g of protein and 614 kcal per 100 g. The amount per 100 g isn’t the same as the amount in a smaller snack portion.
Weigh the amount you want to take with you in advance, then calculate the nutritional values for that weight.
If you don’t weigh it in advance, you may end up eating more than you intended for a snack without realising.
The nutritional value of one variety doesn’t automatically apply to other peanuts from the same brand. ‘Roasted’ or ‘oven baked’ doesn’t, by itself, tell you anything about the protein or salt content.

According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, most people who exercise don’t need special protein shakes or bars if they eat a healthy, varied diet. Consider your diet as a whole, and don’t assume a bag of peanuts is proof that your recovery nutrition is complete.
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre says opened unsalted peanuts can be kept in a kitchen cupboard for six months, but that advice doesn’t apply to storage in a hot car. Follow the instructions on the exact pack and don’t apply household storage advice to unusual conditions.
