A box is practical for a one-off sprinkle only if you’ll use the rest later. Jumbo, Albert Heijn and PLUS list 270 g and 330 g boxes online. If you’re looking for an individual portion, check the net weight before choosing a pack. Then decide whether you want crushed or coloured aniseed sprinkles, and check the latest label if you need to consider nutritional information or allergens.
You want to use aniseed sprinkles once without having lots left over. Jumbo, Albert Heijn and PLUS list boxes of 270 g and 330 g online. So before buying, think about whether you’ll use the contents on more than one occasion.
You’re choosing by type and how you’ll use them – for example, on bread, crispbread or yoghurt. Jumbo and PLUS mention these uses in their product descriptions. The flavour and look you want will help you decide which variety to consider.
You want to check the sugar content or ingredients on the pack before you buy. Compare nutritional values per 100 g, and if you have a relevant food allergy, check the allergen information on the latest label.
First, decide whether you’ll use the box more than once. Then choose a type that suits the occasion, and finally check the information on the packaging.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size and leftovers | Check the net weight in grams and consider whether you’ll use the box more than once. The varieties listed online by Jumbo, Albert Heijn and PLUS include 270 g and 330 g boxes. | If I only want to sprinkle them once, I don’t want lots left over. For an estimated 50% of consumers shopping for this reason, a smaller pack is the main priority. |
| Type and use | Choose between crushed aniseed sprinkles and a coloured or party variety, depending on the flavour and appearance you want. | For crispbread or yoghurt, I’m looking for a type that suits what I want to make. For around 30% of these consumers, the type or intended use comes first. |
| Nutritional information and ingredients | Compare sugars per 100 g and read the ingredients and allergen information on the latest packaging. | If I need to check sugars or allergens, I want to read the label before choosing. For an estimated 20% of these consumers, this check is the top priority. |
A 270 g or 330 g box may contain more than you want for one occasion. So the pack size matters just as much as the type of aniseed sprinkles.
Check the net weight, and only choose a box for a small purchase if you’re happy to use the rest later.
The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens must be clearly listed on the labels of pre-packed foods. Albert Heijn points out that product information can change.
Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the latest packaging before choosing or eating the product.
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre gives 11,9 g of sugar per 15 g of aniseed sprinkles as a category figure. A per-serving figure is only useful for your own needs if you also consider how much you actually sprinkle.
Compare products per 100 g first, then consider how much you use yourself.
De Ruijter is the brand behind the crushed, coloured and party aniseed sprinkles mentioned here.
Albert Heijn’s online aniseed sprinkles range includes crushed, party and pink-and-white De Ruijter varieties.
Jumbo’s online aniseed sprinkles range lists four De Ruijter products: party sprinkles, pink-and-white sprinkles, blue-and-white sprinkles and crushed sprinkles.
PLUS lists De Ruijter Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles in a 270 g box and Party Sprinkles in a 330 g box online.
This Joybuy pick is a 330 g box of coloured aniseed sprinkles. It’s best suited to a purchase where you’ll use the contents more than once, rather than if you want to take away exactly one portion.
