Which option is right for you?

Brunch hosts catering for several guests

If you’re serving aniseed sprinkles with rusks, bread or other dishes, first estimate how much you’ll use for each. Albert Heijn lists 22 15 g servings on its 330 g pack of festive aniseed sprinkles; this isn’t a set number of guests.

Brunch planners who care about presentation

A colourful festive mix works well for a table that isn’t deliberately styled in pink and white or blue and white. Jumbo and PLUS describe festive aniseed sprinkles as a topping for bread, rusks and yoghurt, among other things.

Shoppers who want to check the label first

If ingredients or allergens matter to your guests, read the pack before serving. Jumbo lists wheat in its festive aniseed sprinkles and pink-and-white variety.

What should you look for when choosing?

What to consider What to check when buying Who should consider this?
Pack size for sharing Compare the 330 g pack with the 270 g pack of crushed aniseed sprinkles. Use the 15 g serving shown on the label as a guide for planning only. If I’m serving aniseed sprinkles with several brunch dishes, I want to have enough without treating the number of label servings as the number of guests. For around 31% of consumers, pack size for sharing comes first.
Texture Choose between whole and crushed aniseed sprinkles, depending on the finish you want on bread, rusks or yoghurt. I want to choose between whole, clearly visible sprinkles and a finer crushed topping for my rusk. Texture is the most important factor for around 23% of consumers.
Colour Consider whether a festive mix, pink and white, or blue and white will suit your brunch table. If the table decorations are the priority, I’ll choose the colour deliberately: pink and white or blue and white are also traditionally associated with celebrating a new baby. Presentation is the deciding factor for around 23% of consumers.
Ingredients Read the latest allergen information and compare the nutritional information per 100 g, including sugars. If a guest needs to avoid wheat or gluten, I don’t want to rely on the product name or an online image. Ingredients and nutritional information are the top priority for around 23% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Counting label servings as guests

    The 22 15 g servings listed on a 330 g pack of festive aniseed sprinkles don’t tell you how many people it will serve. That also depends on how many dishes you offer the sprinkles with.

    First decide what you’ll serve them with, then use the serving size as a rough guide for working out how much you need.

  • Choosing a colour variant without considering the table

    Pink-and-white and blue-and-white aniseed sprinkles are traditionally associated with celebrating a new baby. That may not suit the look you want for an Easter brunch.

    Choose one of these varieties if the colour is a deliberate part of your decorations; otherwise, consider a general festive mix.

  • Relying on an online image to check allergens

    Jumbo lists wheat in the varieties reviewed. Product information can change, so an image or a previous order is no substitute for checking the current label.

    Read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack before serving the sprinkles to your guests.

Frequently asked questions

How many guests will 330 g of festive aniseed sprinkles serve?

There’s no fixed number: Albert Heijn lists 22 15 g servings, but how much you use depends on what you’re serving and how much each guest takes. Use the servings to estimate how much you need, not to count your guests.

When should I choose crushed rather than whole aniseed sprinkles?

Choose crushed aniseed sprinkles if you want a finer topping, or whole ones if you want the individual pieces to remain visible. The crushed variety described comes in a 270 g pack, compared with 330 g for the festive sprinkles and colour variants mentioned.

What should I check if a guest avoids wheat or gluten?

Read the latest allergen information on the pack before serving. Jumbo lists wheat in the festive and pink-and-white varieties reviewed; for other varieties, don’t rely on the product name or an online image alone.

How should I store an opened pack of aniseed sprinkles?

Store them in a dry place, following the storage advice on the product pages described. Also check the storage instructions and best-before date on your own pack.
