Who is this relevant for?

If you’d like to offer a little something sweet

You want to put something sweet on the table after or alongside the Dutch mash, without pouring the whole pack into a serving jar. Albert Heijn lists a 6 g portion for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, which can help you decide how much to set out.

If you check ingredients for your guests

You want to be able to check what’s in the product before serving it. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g. Check the pack you buy and keep it beside the serving jar.

If you specifically want to use a glass serving jar

You want to put a small amount on the table, but should choose your jar based on how much you actually pour into it. The pack’s weight of 270 g doesn’t tell you its capacity in millilitres.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether a separate sweet option works with your meal. Then choose how much to put on the table, and make sure the packaging with the product information is still available.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Quantity and presentation Use the stated 6 g portion as a starting point for how much you want to set out separately; choose a jar size to suit that measured amount. If I only want to put a small sweet extra on the table, I don’t want to pour out the whole pack automatically. Around 43% of consumers prioritise quantity and presentation.
Sweet aniseed flavour Check whether your guests would like a sweet option, rather than a savoury addition to the Dutch mash. I want to know in advance whether a sweet aniseed flavour will work with the planned meal. For around 29% of consumers, flavour is the main consideration.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current label and keep the original packaging beside the serving jar; Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for the 270 g pack. When I’m serving guests who need to check ingredients, I want the label close at hand. Around 28% of consumers prioritise this.

Common mistakes

  • Converting 270 g into a fixed jar size in millilitres

    The pack’s weight doesn’t tell you how much space the crushed aniseed sprinkles will take up in a glass jar. Choosing a jar based only on the number of grams could mean you get it wrong.

    First measure out the amount you want to serve, then find a jar that fits it. Albert Heijn lists 6 g per portion as a possible starting point.

  • Treating De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as a savoury seasoning

    De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes is a sweet aniseed product, so it has a different role from a savoury addition to Dutch mash.

    Serve it separately if you deliberately want to offer a sweet topping; don’t mix it into the main course without checking with your guests.

  • Putting the packaging away after decanting

    If guests only see the glass jar, they can’t easily check the ingredients and allergens on the original label. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for this product.

    Keep the packaging beside the serving jar and check the label on the product you actually bought before serving.
