Take an individually wrapped mini pack if you want a sealed portion without weighing it out. According to Albert Heijn, the Duyvis Provencale 20-pack contains 45 g bags. If you’d rather choose your own portion size, buy a standard bag and weigh out a portion in advance: for example, Jumbo lists an average serving of 30 g for the 125 g Duyvis Provencale bag. Compare nutritional values on the same basis and check the label for the exact variant; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre does not include savoury snack nuts in the Wheel of Five.
Want to grab an individually sealed bag for your morning break without weighing it out at home? According to Albert Heijn, the Duyvis Provencale 20-pack contains 20 bags of 45 g. Check whether that amount suits what you want to take with you.
If you want to split the snack across several breaks, compare the stated serving weight with the total contents and weigh out a portion in advance if needed. Jumbo lists an average serving of 30 g for Duyvis Provencale 125 g; Albert Heijn lists 25 g per serving for AH Borrelnoten cocktail.
If you want enough for several days or people, compare individual bags with a larger multipack. Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s product pages show different pack sizes; also check how to store the contents after opening.
Choose these if: you want to grab a sealed bag when you’re out and about or prepare portions in advance.
Bear in mind: the pack size is fixed; Albert Heijn’s Duyvis Provencale 20-pack contains 45 g bags.
Choose this if: you want to take a small amount with you and split the contents across several breaks.
Bear in mind: Jumbo lists an average serving of 30 g for the 125 g Duyvis Provencale bag, so it isn’t the same as one individual bag.
Choose this if: you can weigh out a portion in advance and want to decide how much to take.
Bear in mind: you’ll need to prepare your portion and seal the remaining contents properly.
For anyone taking savoury snack nuts to a morning coffee break, the choice mainly comes down to the portion size you want, the flavour, the ingredients and how much preparation you’re willing to do.

A larger bag takes preparation and you may need an airtight storage container for the remaining contents.
