This is Emerald's almond and walnut mix in the 100 Calorie Packs format: seven sealed single-serve pouches to the box, 3.92 oz across the whole carton. The nuts are unsalted, so what comes through is the nuts themselves, the softer, buttery walnut against the firmer, sweeter almond.

The point of the format is portioning done for you. Rather than a resealable bag that has to be measured out by eye, each pouch is its own serving and travels flat in a work bag, a glove box, a desk drawer or a carry-on. That makes it an afternoon snack at a desk, something to hand into the back seat on a long drive, a pocket item on a hike, or the thing that bridges a late meeting and dinner.

Loose nuts earn their keep in the kitchen. These are for the hours you are nowhere near one.
