A 330 g box of aniseed sprinkles is handy for sharing at several snack times or with a group. If you’d prefer a slightly smaller box of crushed aniseed sprinkles, consider the 270 g option. The boxes covered here don’t contain individually wrapped lunchbox portions, so you’ll need to portion out smaller amounts yourself. Check the ingredients and allergen information for the variant you choose, especially if you’re serving it to children.
For a playdate or several snack times, a 330 g box gives you plenty to make up your own portions. PLUS describes its 330 g box of blue and white De Ruijter aniseed sprinkles as containing around 22 portions. The amount per portion depends on how you serve them.
If you’d like to pack a small amount to have on bread or with a snack, you can measure it out from a box yourself. The 270 g and 330 g boxes covered here don’t contain individual portion sachets.
Aniseed sprinkles can be an occasional choice for a child’s lunch. The Dutch Nutrition Centre recommends choosing foods from the Wheel of Five for children’s breakfasts and lunches wherever possible.
First, decide whether you need enough to share or a smaller box to portion out yourself. Then check the information for the exact variant you plan to serve.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Enough to share | Compare the net contents of the 270 g and 330 g boxes. Treat any stated number of portions as a guide, not a fixed serving size. | For a playdate or several snack times, I want to be able to serve enough aniseed sprinkles from one box. For around 38% of consumers, having enough to share would be the main reason for buying. |
| Small portions | Check whether the packaging explicitly mentions individual sachets; with a standard box, you’ll need to measure out the amount yourself. | For a lunchbox, I want to take a small amount without packing the whole box. Around 37% of consumers would mainly want to make up small portions themselves. |
| Ingredients and nutritional information | Check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional values per 100 g on the exact packaging. Don’t assume the information for a different colour or version is the same. | For a child’s lunch, I want to know what the chosen aniseed sprinkles contain and how sweet spreads fit into their diet. For around 25% of consumers, ingredients, allergens and nutritional information would be the top priority. |
The 270 g and 330 g packs covered here are boxes, not sets of individual lunchbox portions. To take a small amount with you, measure out the aniseed sprinkles yourself and pack them in a suitable container.
If a product is listed as a multipack, check whether the description specifically mentions individual sachets or individually wrapped portions.
