If you only use aniseed sprinkles now and then, a 270 g box of De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles may suit your stock cupboard better than a 330 g box of regular sprinkles. Jumbo and PLUS list the 270 g crushed variety, while Jumbo and Albert Heijn list regular varieties in 330 g boxes. Choose regular sprinkles if you prefer their whole shape or a particular colour to a smaller quantity, and check the label and storage instructions whichever you choose.
If you want to keep a box handy for rusk or yoghurt, think about how much you’ll need to store once it’s opened.
