A snack with no preparation
Want to grab a sealed snack pack during a work break or as you head out? According to Foods & Goods, the Duyvis Portiepack contains 20 snack packs of 60 g each; Duyvis lists a range of pack sizes for its peanuts.
Which pack is right for you?
Choose your own portion
If you’d rather weigh out unsalted peanuts, you can choose a pack size to suit how much you use and seal the rest. Examples include 250 g packs of unsalted peanuts from Jumbo and PLUS; Voedingscentrum recommends storing peanuts in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dark, dry place.
A supply for several work-from-home days
If you’d like to buy a larger pack, check its size and how you’ll store the rest. Albert Heijn lists a 500 g pack of unsalted peanuts; once opened, sealing it securely will help you store the rest in line with Voedingscentrum’s storage advice.
What should you look for when choosing?
Individual snack packs
Choose these when: you want something to take with you without weighing or repacking it.
Bear in mind: each Duyvis snack pack contains 60 g, which is not the same as the 25 g reference amount Voedingscentrum uses for a handful.
Portion your own unsalted peanuts
Choose these when: you want to decide for yourself how much to have with lunch at home.
Bear in mind: you’ll need to weigh out a portion and seal the opened pack securely; Voedingscentrum recommends storing peanuts in a cool, dark, dry place.
Seasoned or coated peanuts
Choose these when: you’re looking for a change of flavour or a crunchy coating.
Bear in mind: the ingredients and preparation method vary by product, so check the label on the specific pack.
This choice comes down to four key needs for shoppers looking for peanuts for a work-from-home lunch or to take with them afterwards.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Taking them with you and pack size | Compare the weight of each individual snack pack with the amount you want to eat. Duyvis snack packs contain 60 g; Voedingscentrum uses 25 g as the reference amount for a handful in its calorie checker. | If I want something to take with me during a work break, I don’t want to have to weigh it first. Around 36% of consumers say convenience on the go is their top purchasing priority. |
| Unsalted options and ingredients | Read the ingredients and compare the salt content per 100 g on the label of the exact product. | If you want to choose unsalted peanuts and decide on your own portion size, both the product and the amount you actually weigh out matter. Around 29% of consumers say this dietary preference is their top priority. |
| A supply for regular use | Check the net weight and think about how much you’ll use; once opened, follow the storage advice and seal the pack securely. | If I’m choosing a supply for several work-from-home days, I want to know how much I’ll actually use and how to store it properly. Around 21% of consumers say choosing a suitable supply is their top priority. |
| Flavour and recipe | Check the exact flavour, ingredients and allergen information; seasoned and coated snacks are not the same as plain peanuts. | If you’re mainly after a different flavour or a crunchy coating, the recipe is an important part of your choice. Around 14% of consumers say variety of flavour is their top priority. |

Assuming a multipack contains small snack portions
Each Duyvis snack pack contains 60 g. That’s 2.4 times the 25 g reference amount Voedingscentrum uses for a handful in its calorie checker; the pack size is not personalised dietary advice.
Check the weight of each individual snack pack and decide for yourself how much you want to eat.
-
Choosing a large pack without thinking about storage
An opened pack needs to be stored properly. Voedingscentrum recommends keeping peanuts in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dark, dry place.
Choose a size that suits how much you use and seal the rest securely. Don’t taste peanuts that have gone mouldy.

Treating seasoned or coated peanuts like plain peanuts
Preparation methods and ingredients vary between products. The flavour name alone doesn’t tell you which ingredients and allergens are in the pack.
Read the label on the exact product again, even if you’ve previously bought a different version from the same brand.
