For a coffee get-together with several guests, a 330 g pack of whole aniseed sprinkles is a sensible starting point. PLUS lists approximately 22 portions for its pink and white version in this size, although how much you need depends on how you serve them. If you’re mainly looking for a finer topping for smaller portions, consider 270 g of crushed aniseed sprinkles. A box isn’t automatically a multipack of individual portions, so check the ingredients and allergens on the packaging too.
If you’re laying out rusks, bread or yoghurt for several guests, the portion information can help you work out how many packs to buy. PLUS lists approximately 22 portions in one 330 g pack of pink and white De Ruijter aniseed sprinkles, although the amount each guest needs may vary.
For small amounts on bread or rusks, the texture may matter more than the total pack size. Jumbo and PLUS list 270 g packs of crushed De Ruijter aniseed sprinkles.
If someone at the table needs to avoid wheat or gluten, read the label before serving. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten in its 270 g crushed aniseed sprinkles and 330 g whole celebratory aniseed sprinkles.
Work out how many guests you’re expecting and how you plan to use the aniseed sprinkles. Then compare the pack size, texture and label. Don’t assume there are individual portion sachets without checking the packaging description.

PLUS uses ‘per box’ for its 270 g and 330 g packs. That description doesn’t mean they contain individual portion sachets.
If you need individual portions for lunchboxes, check how many inner packs there are and read the packaging description before ordering.
Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten in both its 330 g whole celebratory aniseed sprinkles and 270 g crushed aniseed sprinkles. The colour or presentation won’t tell you anything about the allergens.
