Choose an individually packed snack if you want to set off without any preparation. If you’d rather decide on a small unsalted portion yourself, measure some out from a larger pack in advance. Duyvis snack packs contain 60 grams each, while the Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 grams as a handful in its nutrition table: this is a point of comparison, not a universal recommendation. Albert Heijn has shops at Schiphol Plaza, but a shop listing doesn’t guarantee that your chosen product will be in stock.
You’re looking for an individually packed snack that you can pop straight into your bag. Check the weight of each individual pack, not just the total contents of a box. bol’s product listing describes a box of twenty 60-gram Duyvis packs.
You want to decide how much to take with you and prefer unsalted peanuts. A larger bag can work if you measure out a portion beforehand and seal the rest properly; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises keeping nuts dry and well sealed.
You’re comparing individual packs with a larger multipack and want to know how much you’ll actually need to take and store. Schiphol lists Albert Heijn shops at Plaza, but this doesn’t confirm whether a specific product is in stock.
First decide how much preparation you’re happy to do and which variety you want. Then check the amount in each pack, the total quantity and the label.
| What to consider | What should you look for? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Amount per snack break | Duyvis and bol list 60 grams per individual pack. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 grams as a handful in a nutrition table; this is a point of comparison, not a maximum or universal recommendation. | If I want to take a pack without weighing it, I check how much it contains and whether I want to eat the whole thing. Around 36% of consumers prioritise portion size and convenience. |
| Salted or unsalted | Check the variety and ingredients on the label. Unsalted doesn’t mean a product is free from other allergens; the 250-gram PLUS pack may contain cashew nuts. | If I prefer unsalted peanuts, I want to check the variety and ingredients of that exact pack. Around 29% of consumers prioritise an unsalted variety. |
| Total quantity | Compare the number of individual packs and the total contents: the Duyvis box mentioned contains twenty 60-gram packs, 1,200 grams in total; the PLUS pack contains 250 grams. Seal any opened peanuts well and follow the storage advice on the packaging. | If I’m buying for several trips, I want the quantity to suit what I’ll take with me and what I’ll have left at home. Around 21% of consumers prioritise the amount they buy and planning their supplies. |
| Taking them on a trip | Schiphol lists Albert Heijn shops at Plaza, but doesn’t provide stock information for a specific pack. Schiphol and the Dutch government distinguish dry snacks from liquids and pastes; also check any relevant rules for your destination. | If I want to look for something at the airport, I want to know where there’s a shop without relying on a particular pack size being available. Around 14% of consumers prioritise airport convenience and clear information about travel rules. |
An individual Duyvis pack contains 60 grams. That’s more than the 25 grams the Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses as a handful in its nutrition table; this is a point of comparison, not a recommendation for every traveller.
Check the weight of each pack and decide in advance whether you want to take the whole pack or measure out a smaller amount.
Twenty 60-gram packs add up to 1,200 grams. That could be enough for several trips, but it’s not the same as buying one snack.
Check how many individual packs are included and think about how many you’re actually likely to use.
If you’re only taking one trip, you could be left with unopened packs.
Unsalted describes the variety, not the absence of allergens. The 250-gram PLUS pack may contain cashew nuts.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging of the exact variety. Peanuts aren’t a suitable snack if you have a peanut allergy.
Schiphol lists Albert Heijn shops at Plaza, but AH’s national product listing doesn’t confirm that a particular pack will be available there on your departure day.
Take your preferred portion with you in advance if you need a specific product. Treat the airport shop as somewhere to look, not as a guarantee of stock.
Looking for it could take extra time or mean you have to choose a different pack size.
These examples show the difference between individual packs and larger bags that you can portion yourself; being included here says nothing about stock at Schiphol.

No. 60 grams is the weight of the Duyvis pack. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses 25 grams as a handful of unsalted peanuts in its nutrition table; use this as a point of comparison and decide for yourself how much you want to take.
Generally, yes: Schiphol says hand luggage is allowed, except for prohibited or dangerous items. Dry peanuts aren’t covered by the liquid rules for gels and pastes. This doesn’t tell you anything about import rules at your destination.
No. The Dutch government includes liquids and pastes in the hand luggage rules for liquids: containers of up to 100 millilitres, all placed in one transparent, resealable bag with a maximum capacity of 1 litre per person. This millilitre limit isn’t a maximum weight for dry peanuts.
Keep them dry and well sealed. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing them in a dry place; PLUS says to store its 250-gram pack in a cool, dry place away from light. Follow the instructions on the packaging too.
Unsalted only describes the variety; it doesn’t mean allergen-free. Peanuts aren’t a suitable snack if you have a peanut allergy. If you have other allergies, check the ingredients and warnings on the label. The 250-gram PLUS pack may contain cashew nuts.
