Choose crushed aniseed sprinkles if you want a fine topping for things like rusks, bread or yoghurt. Albert Heijn lists a 6 g serving and 45 servings for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, 270 g. How much you actually need depends on how generously you sprinkle. A 330 g pack of whole aniseed sprinkles contains more, but it isn’t a larger pack of the same fine topping.
If you’re preparing rusks, bread or yoghurt for several children, you’ll want to know how much topping you need. Albert Heijn’s serving information for the 270 g box gives you a starting point, which you can adjust to suit how you’re serving it.
If whole aniseed sprinkles also suit your plans, you could consider a larger pack. For example, Jumbo lists De Ruijter Feest Muisjes, 330 g, alongside Gestampte Muisjes, 270 g. These are different product types.
When serving a group, it’s important to read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’ve chosen. The product information for the aniseed sprinkle varieties mentioned lists wheat; always check the current label before serving.
First decide whether you want to serve a fine topping or whole aniseed sprinkles. Then consider how much you need and check the label for everyone who’ll be eating.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | Compare the net weight with the serving size and how you plan to serve it. Albert Heijn lists 45 servings of 6 g for the 270 g pack of Gestampte Muisjes. | When I’m using the topping for a group on several occasions, I don’t want to rely on the serving count on the label alone. For around 38% of consumers, planning the quantity comes first. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients, allergens and any may-contain information on the pack you buy; don’t assume it has the same ingredients as another variety. | When I’m serving something to a group, I need to take into account the ingredients people avoid. Around 37% of consumers give this check the highest priority. |
| How it’s served | Choose crushed aniseed sprinkles for a fine topping. Choose whole sprinkles only if they suit the food you’re serving them with. | For a rusk or yoghurt snack, I want the topping to go with what I’m putting on the table. The product type is the first thing around 25% of consumers consider. |
Jumbo describes Feest Muisjes, 330 g, as sugar-coated aniseed seeds. Crushed aniseed sprinkles are a different product type, even if you’re comparing the two packs by weight.
First choose the type that suits your serving plans, then compare the pack sizes.
The 45 servings of 6 g listed on the 270 g box of Gestampte Muisjes are a guide. If you sprinkle generously or use them for decoration, you may use more each time.
Adjust the quantity to suit the number of people, the snack you’re serving them with and how you want to share them out.
A spread flavoured with aniseed sprinkles doesn’t have the same ingredients as crushed or whole aniseed sprinkles. For example, Albert Heijn listed soya and possible traces of milk and nuts for De Blije Boterham Muisjespasta.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack of the product you’re actually serving.
The range includes 270 g packs of crushed aniseed sprinkles and whole varieties, including the 330 g Feest Muisjes listed by Jumbo.
The 300 g Muisjespasta is a spread, not a topping.
This Joybuy variety is an option if you want to serve whole aniseed sprinkles. If you’re looking for finely crushed sprinkles, this is a different product type.

An option if you want to add whole aniseed sprinkles to bread or yoghurt, or use them as decoration.
These are sugar-coated aniseed seeds, not crushed sprinkles. The product information lists wheat and gluten; check the current label before buying and serving.
Albert Heijn lists 45 servings of 6 g for this De Ruijter pack. If you use more each time, you’ll get fewer servings from it.
Crushed aniseed sprinkles are used as a topping on another food. Jumbo suggests bread, rusks and yoghurt, among other things. So first decide what you want to serve and how much topping you’ll need.
Check the label on the pack you’re actually going to serve. The aniseed sprinkle varieties mentioned list wheat, while an aniseed sprinkle spread may have different ingredients and allergen information.
Keep them dry and follow the best-before information on the pack. Albert Heijn’s storage instruction for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes is ‘Store in a dry place’.
