For a large family or new-baby visits, 270 g packs of crushed aniseed sprinkles and 330 g packs of whole sprinkles are a good starting point. First decide how many people you want to serve and how you plan to use them. PLUS describes its 330 g blue and white De Ruijter pack as containing around 22 servings, but the amount you need depends on the portions you serve. Choose whole sprinkles if colour on rusks matters, or crushed sprinkles if you’d also like a finer topping. If anyone has an allergy, always check the label on the pack you buy.
If you’re planning to serve aniseed sprinkles on rusks, choose the colour and quantity to suit your guests. PLUS describes its 330 g blue and white De Ruijter pack as containing around 22 servings; this is a guide for that specific variety.
If your family uses aniseed sprinkles on several occasions, consider the pack size, how much you’re likely to have left over and whether you have a dry place to store them. Jumbo lists De Ruijter varieties in 270 g and 330 g packs.
If you’re not just topping rusks, you could also consider crushed aniseed sprinkles. PLUS suggests using its 270 g De Ruijter variety on bread and rusks, and in yoghurt.
First work out how many portions you want to serve. Then choose the type and colour, and read the label on the pack you buy before serving.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | Count the people eating and the portions you plan to serve, then compare the packs’ net weights. According to PLUS, its 330 g blue and white De Ruijter pack contains around 22 servings. | When I’m hosting guests or feeding a large family, I want to have enough without being left with lots of unused packs. This is the top priority for around 40% of consumers. |
| Type and colour | Choose whole sprinkles for a visible splash of colour on rusks, or consider crushed sprinkles for a finer topping. Check which colour variety you’re buying. | If presentation matters when hosting new-baby visits, I want the chosen colour to stand out clearly on the rusks; for other uses, a finer topping may be more suitable. Around 30% of consumers prioritise this choice. |
| Label and storage | Check the ingredients, allergens, nutritional information, best-before date and storage instructions on the pack you buy. | If someone sharing the food needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to be able to check the current label and store any leftovers properly. This is the main concern for around 30% of consumers. |
The varieties listed by Jumbo and PLUS come in consumer packs of 270 g or 330 g. One pack may not be enough if you’re serving a larger group.
Plan your portions before deciding how many packs to buy. PLUS gives around 22 servings for its 330 g blue and white De Ruijter pack; this isn’t a fixed guide for every variety or serving method.
PLUS lists wheat and gluten in the blue and white De Ruijter sprinkles it describes. The ingredients information on a website doesn’t replace the label on the pack you’re actually serving.
Check the current label before serving, especially if a family member or guest needs to avoid allergens.
The De Ruijter varieties mentioned should be stored in a dry place. If you buy a larger quantity, you’ll also need somewhere to keep opened packs sealed.
Check the best-before date and storage instructions, and keep opened and unopened packs together where you can easily keep track of them.
De Ruijter is the product brand of the aniseed sprinkle varieties listed by Jumbo and PLUS in the ranges mentioned.
Jumbo is a retailer in this context, not a separate aniseed sprinkle brand.
PLUS lists product information for, among other items, 330 g packs of blue and white whole sprinkles and 270 g packs of crushed De Ruijter sprinkles.
Albert Heijn has a product page for a 280 g pink and white De Ruijter variety.
These two 330 g packs of whole aniseed sprinkles are worth considering if you want to serve colourful toppings on rusks or stock up for several family occasions. Choose the number of packs based on your own portion sizes; PLUS’s serving estimate isn’t a specification for these Joybuy packs.

That depends on the number of guests and how much you serve each person. PLUS describes its 330 g blue and white De Ruijter pack as containing around 22 servings; use this only as a guide for that variety, and adjust your plans if you’ll also be using the sprinkles in other dishes.
Choose whole sprinkles if you want the colour and individual pieces to show on your rusks. Crushed sprinkles are finer; PLUS suggests using its De Ruijter variety on bread and rusks, and in yoghurt.
Always check the label on the variety you buy: PLUS lists wheat and gluten in the blue and white De Ruijter sprinkles it describes. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens must be clearly listed on the labels of pre-packed foods.
Follow the storage instructions on each pack; the De Ruijter product pages mentioned recommend storing them in a dry place. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises keeping dry foods in a well-sealed container in the cupboard after opening.
Compare the nutritional information for the varieties you’re considering on the same basis, such as per 100 g or per serving. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives 11,9 g of sugars for an average 15 g serving of aniseed sprinkles; for a specific pack, use the values on its own label.
