Among three products with labelled nutrition figures, KP Dry Roasted Peanuts have the fewest calories per 100g, while Tesco Walnuts have the least carbohydrate per 100g; the figures published by ASDA Groceries and Tesco Groceries do not make either a low-calorie snack. Tesco Almonds offer a different portion to compare, at 158 kcal and 1.7g carbohydrate per labelled 25g serving. Choose by the amount you intend to eat, then check the current pack for carbohydrate, salt and allergens.
If you follow a ketogenic eating plan, compare carbohydrate in the portion you will eat with the rest of your day’s food. The British Dietetic Association describes ketogenic diets as containing 20–50g carbohydrate per day; that range is not a target for every individual.
If you want a nut snack while managing energy intake, compare products per 100g before looking at their different labelled serving sizes. The figures published by Tesco Groceries and ASDA Groceries for the three products discussed here range from 597 to 701 kcal per 100g.
If salt or an allergy affects your choice, read the current pack rather than relying on the type of nut alone. The Food Standards Agency distinguishes peanuts from tree nuts, and individual packs may have their own allergen and precautionary statements.
Start with calories per 100g for a like-for-like comparison, then check carbohydrate and the other details for the portion you plan to eat.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Carbohydrate | Check grams per labelled serving and per 100g. Tesco Groceries lists 1.0g per 30g for its walnuts and 1.7g per 25g for its almonds; ASDA Groceries lists 2.2g per 30g for KP Dry Roasted Peanuts. | For a keto-style plan, I want to account for the portion alongside everything else I eat that day, rather than judge it by a front-of-pack description. |
| Calories | Compare kcal per 100g before comparing servings of different sizes. ASDA Groceries lists 597 kcal per 100g for KP Dry Roasted Peanuts; Tesco Groceries lists 633 for its almonds and 701 for its walnuts. | When calories matter to me, I want to decide on a portion before eating: the labelled servings for these three products contain 158–210 kcal. |
| Salt and seasoning | Read salt per serving and per 100g, then check the ingredients on the current pack. ASDA Groceries lists 0.48g salt per 30g serving of KP Dry Roasted Peanuts; Tesco Groceries lists 0.02g per 100g for its walnuts. | For a salt-conscious choice, I want to compare the actual labels rather than assume all roasted or plain nuts are alike. |
| Allergens | Check the named allergens and precautionary statements for the exact pack. The Food Standards Agency identifies peanuts as legumes and distinguishes them from tree nuts such as almonds. | If an allergy affects my household, I need the current declaration for the product I am buying, including any may-contain wording. |
The three products listed by Tesco Groceries and ASDA Groceries provide 597–701 kcal per 100g. A choice based on carbohydrate alone may not fit the portion you had in mind.
Compare kcal on the same per-100g basis, then measure the amount you intend to eat.
ASDA Groceries lists 1.6g salt per 100g for KP Dry Roasted Peanuts, compared with the 0.02g per 100g Tesco Groceries lists for its walnuts. That difference matters if salt is part of your selection criteria.
