Who is this relevant for?

Holidaymakers using small amounts

If you want to take some aniseed sprinkles with you for a few breakfasts or snacks, a stated serving size can help you plan. Albert Heijn lists a 6 g serving and 45 servings for the 270 g pack.

Home bakers making small treats

Crushed aniseed sprinkles can also be used in baking. An Allerhande recipe uses them for 24 mini cupcakes; ‘mini’ describes the cakes, not the sprinkles’ packaging.

Shoppers who read labels carefully

Wheat and gluten are listed for the De Ruijter variety described here. Jumbo also lists 4.7 g of sugars per 6 g serving. Before buying, read the label on the pack you’re actually choosing.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether you need individual portions or can measure them out yourself from a larger box. Then think about how you plan to use them and check the ingredients of the exact variety.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Portions and leftovers Compare the net weight and serving size; check whether ‘mini’ means individual portions. If I only want to use aniseed sprinkles a few times, I want to know how much I’ll need to measure out and what will be left afterwards. Portion planning is a priority for around 36% of consumers.
For breakfast and baking Decide whether you’re looking for a topping for bread, rusks or yoghurt, or an ingredient for a baking recipe. I want to use the same aniseed sprinkles for breakfast and small bakes, as long as I can prepare them too. This versatility is the main consideration for around 28% of consumers.
Ingredients and nutritional information Read the allergen information and compare the nutritional values per serving for the pack you’ve chosen. If I need to avoid wheat or gluten, or want to check the sugars in each serving, I look beyond the pack size. Around 36% of consumers say checking the label is a priority.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘mini’ means individually portioned

    The De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes described here come in a 270 g pack. Small portions of other De Ruijter products are not the same as crushed aniseed sprinkles.

    Check the full product name, net weight and whether the pack mentions individual sachets.

  • Not thinking about how much you’ll use

    A 270 g box may contain more than you need for a single small treat. On the other hand, you can use the same box on several occasions.

    Compare your plans with the 45 servings of 6 g listed by Albert Heijn for this pack.

  • Leaving the wheat and gluten check until after you’ve bought it

    The De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes described here contain wheat and gluten. Measuring out a smaller amount does not change the ingredients.

    Read the allergen information on the current pack of the exact variety you’re buying; online product information can change.
