Start with how much crushed aniseed sprinkles you want to serve at Easter brunch, rather than assuming a multipack contains several packs. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as a 270 g pack; Albert Heijn also states that it contains 45 servings of 6 g. Only combine individual packs if you can use the extra, and check the current label first if you need to avoid wheat or gluten.
You want enough sprinkles for bread, rusks, yoghurt or decoration, without ending up with lots of unnecessary packs. For the 270 g pack, Albert Heijn lists 45 servings of 6 g; how much you actually use will depend on what you’re sprinkling and how much you serve.
You want to think ahead about whether you’ll use any leftovers after brunch. Albert Heijn’s product information lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises against choosing sweet spreads too often.
For you, checking the ingredients comes before choosing a pack size. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and cereals containing gluten for the 270 g pack of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.
First decide how much you want to sprinkle at brunch and whether you’ll use another pack later. Then check the exact product and the current label: a larger pack of regular aniseed sprinkles isn’t automatically a pack of crushed aniseed sprinkles.
