If you want to share aniseed sprinkles or use them for several lunchboxes, a 330 g box is one option, but don’t mistake it for a multipack of individual portions. For an Indonesian rijsttafel, serve aniseed sprinkles separately as part of a sweet course. Then choose the texture and colour you prefer, and check the label if the ingredients matter to your guests.
You’re preparing an Indonesian rijsttafel and want to offer something sweet as well. Eetspiratie describes a rijsttafel as a selection of small dishes served with rice, while Albert Heijn recommends aniseed sprinkles as a topping for rusks, yoghurt and cakes, among other things.
You want a box to use over several mealtimes, but may need individual portions. PLUS lists around 22 portions in a 330 g blue and white box; that doesn’t mean the sprinkles come in separate portion packs.
You want to know which ingredients and allergens are listed for your chosen variety before serving it. According to Jumbo, the Feest Muisjes reviewed contain wheat starch, so check the packaging of the variety you buy.
First, decide when you want to serve the aniseed sprinkles. Then check whether you need a box to share or genuinely separate, individually packed portions.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| When to serve them | Save them for a separate sweet course, perhaps with rusks, yoghurt or cake, rather than planning them as a dish in the rijsttafel. | I want to offer my guests something sweet after the rijsttafel, without including it among the rice dishes. For around 42% of consumers, when to serve them is the main consideration. |
| Box or multipack | Check whether the offer states how many individual packs it contains; 270 g or 330 g only tells you the total contents. | For several lunchboxes, I want to know whether I’ll need to divide the portions myself. Around 33% of consumers give this packaging format the highest priority. |
| Ingredients and nutritional information | Read the ingredients, allergen information and sugar content per 100 g on the packaging of your chosen variety. | When buying aniseed sprinkles for guests, I want to check what’s in them before serving. Checking the label is the main concern for around 25% of consumers. |
A 330 g box contains more than the 270 g crushed variety reviewed here, but that doesn’t make it a collection of individual lunchbox portions.
If you need separate portions, look on the packaging for an explicit number of individual bags or portion packs.
The product pages reviewed describe aniseed sprinkles as a sweet topping. Eetspiratie describes a rijsttafel as small dishes served with rice.
Keep the sprinkles separate for a sweet course, for example on a rusk or as a cake decoration.
The Feest Muisjes described by Jumbo contain wheat starch. Ingredients for other varieties should be checked separately.
Before buying and serving, read the current ingredients list, allergen information and nutritional details for that specific pack.
In the ranges reviewed at Jumbo and PLUS, De Ruijter aniseed sprinkles are available as whole varieties in 330 g packs and as a 270 g crushed variety.
These blue and white aniseed sprinkles in a 330 g pack are an option if you want to share one box or use the sprinkles separately as a sweet topping. Check the packaging details if you’re looking for individual lunchbox portions.

For anyone who wants to share a box or serve the sprinkles separately with rusks, yoghurt or cake.
Contents: 330 g. Don’t treat the box as an individually portioned multipack unless the packaging confirms this.
Before serving, check the current label for ingredients and allergens.
No. The 330 g description only confirms the contents of the box, not that the sprinkles are individually packed. PLUS lists around 22 portions for its blue and white box; check separately whether an offer includes individual portion packs.
Aniseed sprinkles are better suited to a separate sweet course than to the rijsttafel dishes. Eetspiratie describes a rijsttafel as small dishes served with rice, while Albert Heijn’s product information suggests serving aniseed sprinkles with rusks, yoghurt and cake, among other things.
Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the packaging of your chosen variety. Jumbo lists wheat starch in De Ruijter Feest Muisjes; don’t assume that the information for one variety applies to all aniseed sprinkles.
Follow the storage instructions on the packaging and close the box securely after use. The blue and white variety described by Joybuy states that closing the box properly after opening helps protect the contents from contamination.
