For a holiday cottage or party, you can plan how many aniseed sprinkles you need by buying several consumer packs: Jumbo and PLUS list 330 g varieties and 270 g packs of crushed aniseed sprinkles. Choose a variety to suit the occasion and how you plan to use it, then count your guests and serving occasions, and check the current ingredients and allergens on every pack you buy.
If you’re taking aniseed sprinkles for several breakfasts or treats, it helps to work out how many packs you need for each occasion. Jumbo and PLUS list 330 g and 270 g packs. Choose according to how you plan to use them to avoid leftovers.
If you’d like to use aniseed sprinkles on more than just rusks, choose a variety that suits your dishes and the look you’re after. PLUS describes Feestmuisjes, for example, as a topping for yoghurt and breakfast cereals.
Check the allergens on the pack of every variety you choose before buying or serving it to a group. The information for blue-and-white and crushed aniseed sprinkles is not interchangeable.
First decide what you’re serving the aniseed sprinkles with and how many times you’ll serve them. Then compare the pack sizes and check the packaging for allergen and storage information.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who should consider this? |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | Count your guests and serving occasions before deciding how many packs to buy. PLUS lists its 330 g blue-and-white pack as containing around 22 portions. This is a guide for that variety, depending on portion size. | I want to serve them on different days without running out halfway through. That’s why around 33% of consumers give planning their supplies top priority. |
| Variety and use | Choose a colour variety for the occasion, Feestmuisjes as a topping, or crushed aniseed sprinkles as a bread topping. Check that the variety suits the dishes you have planned. | If I want to use the same sprinkles on rusks and for another serving occasion, the variety is my top priority. Around 25% of consumers put this use first. |
| Allergens | Read the label on the exact variety you’re buying and serving. Don’t assume it has the same ingredients as another colour or as crushed aniseed sprinkles. | If a guest has a known allergy, I want to check what’s in the pack I’ve chosen first. For around 25% of consumers, this is the most important condition when buying. |
| Storage and leftovers | Check the storage instructions and date on every pack. Make sure you can store any extra packs in a dry place, and seal opened packs carefully. | I’d rather not take more than I can store and use. Around 17% of consumers prioritise avoiding leftovers and storing the packs properly. |
A supply of consumer packs won’t automatically have the same net weight or packaging as one larger pack. Without a plan, you could take too little or come back with unopened packs.
Work out how many times you plan to serve them, and check the net weight if you’re considering a larger pack.
The product information for De Ruijter Blue & White lists wheat and gluten; milk is also listed for Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles. So you’ll need to check each variety separately.
Before buying and serving, read the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’ll actually be using.
Jumbo recommends storing aniseed sprinkles in a dry place. If you’re serving them on several occasions, it’s also a good idea to reseal any opened pack.
Keep reserve packs sealed and only open another pack when you need it.
Jumbo and PLUS list De Ruijter varieties for different uses, including Feestmuisjes and 330 g coloured aniseed sprinkles, as well as 270 g packs of Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles.
