Choose an individual packet if you want something to take with you without any preparation. A larger pack of unsalted peanuts is a better choice if you’d rather decide how much to take. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends a handful of unsalted nuts a day, but the pack weight won’t necessarily match the amount you want to eat. Check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact product variant, too.
Would you like to pop an individual packet into your lunch bag as you head out? An external product listing describes the Duyvis multipack as 20 packets of 60 g. Check whether that fixed amount suits your snack break. (Foods & Goods)

If you’re packing peanuts for colleagues, check the allergen information on the exact pack and take any known allergies into account. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) says that allergen information for prepacked products is shown on the label.
If you’re packing lunches for others, first check whether the peanuts are suitable for the recipient. Then choose between a ready-to-go packet and portioning them yourself, and compare the pack size with the amount you want to take.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Take them straight away or prepare them yourself | Check the number of individual packets, the weight per packet and the total pack weight. | If I want to take a packet without weighing it out first, convenience is my priority; around 46% of consumers prefer an option they can take without preparation. |
| Choose unsalted and portion them yourself | Check whether the product is salted or unsalted, read the ingredients and decide how much you want to take. | If I want to choose unsalted peanuts and decide how much to take, I focus mainly on the product variant and pack size; around 36% of consumers prioritise this combination. |
| Suitability for the recipient | Read the ingredients list and allergen warnings on the exact pack. | If I’m packing a lunch for someone else, suitability matters more than convenience; around 18% of consumers put this check first. |
The Duyvis packet described in the product information contains 60 g. That’s the weight of the packet, not necessarily the amount you want to eat.
Check the weight per packet and decide for yourself how much to take in your lunch bag. Also check separately whether the product variant is salted or unsalted.
The Duyvis pack described contains 20 packets of 60 g, for a total of 1200 g. It’s a multipack for your cupboard; taking one packet with you is very different from putting the whole box in your bag.
Before choosing, check the number of individual packets, the weight per packet and the total weight of the pack you’re buying.
