A 330 g pack of whole De Ruijter Muisjes is a practical choice for several portions. If you’d prefer a finer topping, there’s also a 270 g crushed version. Use aniseed sprinkles as a topping after exercise, not as your protein source: according to Jumbo, a 15 g portion of the blue and white variety contains 0.3 g of protein and 12 g of sugars.
If protein is important to you after an intense workout, start by choosing what you’ll have as the base of your snack. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends getting enough protein around intense exercise; aniseed sprinkles are a topping, not a protein source.
If you’re making several small portions of yoghurt, quark or porridge, pack size matters. Think about how much topping you use each time before stocking up.
If an even spread is your priority, you can weigh up crushed aniseed sprinkles against whole ones. The crushed De Ruijter variety is available in a 270 g pack.
First, decide what role the aniseed sprinkles will play in your snack. Then choose a pack size and type of topping to suit the number of portions.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Protein in your snack | Look at the protein content of the whole snack, and check the nutrition information per portion for the topping. Jumbo states that 15 g of blue and white De Ruijter Muisjes contains 0.3 g of protein and 12 g of sugars. | After an intense workout, I want to decide what I’ll eat alongside the sweet topping first. For around 44% of consumers, protein is the main consideration in this choice. |
| Stocking up for several portions | Compare 330 g of whole sprinkles with 270 g of crushed sprinkles, and consider how many portions you want to get from a pack. | For a family or sports group, I want to have enough topping at home without buying more than we’ll use. Around 33% of consumers give this need for a good supply the highest priority. |
| Type of topping and ingredients | Choose between whole and crushed sprinkles, and check the current ingredients and allergen information. The De Ruijter varieties described here list wheat. | If I want a fine, even layer, I look at the type of topping; if I need to avoid wheat, I also check the label. For around 23% of consumers, this combination of use and ingredients comes first. |
A 330 g pack may be suitable for repeated use, but it’s still a standard supermarket size. One pack may not be enough for a large event.
Work out how many portions you want to make in advance. Before buying several packs, check the best-before date and make sure you have enough dry storage space.
According to Jumbo, 15 g of blue and white De Ruijter Muisjes provides 0.3 g of protein and 12 g of sugars. So if protein is your priority, this topping alone won’t meet your needs.
First choose a base that suits your diet and goals, then decide how much topping to add for flavour.
The De Ruijter varieties described here list wheat starch. A different colour or a crushed texture doesn’t mean a product is suitable if you need to avoid wheat or gluten.
Before buying, check the ingredients and allergen information on the current label of the specific pack.
De Ruijter offers whole aniseed sprinkles in 330 g packs and crushed sprinkles in a 270 g pack. Here, the difference in texture and pack size matters more than colour alone.
These 330 g blue and white aniseed sprinkles are a good choice if you’re looking for a whole topping to use across several snack portions. Choose the base of your snack separately.

A pack of whole aniseed sprinkles for spreading over several portions.
Pack size: 330 g. For this blue and white variety, Jumbo lists 0.3 g of protein and 12 g of sugars per 15 g portion.
Don’t use aniseed sprinkles as a protein source. If you need to avoid wheat or gluten, always check the ingredients and allergen information on the current label.
No. Jumbo states that a 15 g portion of blue and white De Ruijter Muisjes contains 0.3 g of protein and 12 g of sugars. If protein is your priority, decide first what other food will make up the base of your snack.
A 330 g pack of whole aniseed sprinkles is an option if you want to use the topping across several portions; the crushed De Ruijter variety contains 270 g. Work out how much you’ll actually use, and don’t treat 330 g as a special catering size.
Don’t assume they are: the varieties described here list wheat starch. If you need to avoid wheat or gluten, always check the allergen information on the current label of the specific pack.
Store them in a dry place and follow the best-before information on the pack. Seal an opened pack tightly if you want to use the topping again later.
