Frequently asked questions
Are there individual mini portions of aniseed sprinkles for one breakfast?
The aniseed sprinkle ranges at Albert Heijn and Jumbo list standard 270 g and 330 g boxes, not individual mini portions. That doesn’t tell you what every other retailer stocks, so check whether individual portions are explicitly stated on the pack of any product you’re considering.
Which of the boxes mentioned is the smallest?
At 270 g, De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes is the smallest box in the ranges mentioned at Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS. The whole varieties mentioned come in 330 g packs. Compare not only the weight, but also whether you want crushed or whole sprinkles.
Can you use crushed aniseed sprinkles on something other than crispbread?
Yes. PLUS also suggests using De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes on bread and yoghurt. Choose the crushed form if you prefer that texture, not because the smaller box is an individual portion.
What should you check if allergens are a concern?
Read the allergen information on the current label of the exact pack. PLUS lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Feestmuisjes, 330 g; don’t assume that information applies to another variety without checking.
What should you consider if you eat aniseed sprinkles regularly?
Check the ingredients, nutritional information and how much you use at each breakfast. Voedingscentrum notes that sweet spreads can sometimes contain a lot of sugar, salt or saturated fat, so assess the nutritional information for the variety you’re buying rather than looking only at the pack size.
