Don’t choose aniseed sprinkles as an ingredient for a stamppot supper: Albert Heijn and Jumbo list the products described as sweet sandwich toppings and suggest serving them with crispbread, bread and yoghurt. If you’re looking for an ingredient for your stamppot, first check which product category you need. If you’re after something sweet to serve instead, choose the shape and pack size that suit the occasion.
First decide whether you’re looking for something to go into the stamppot itself or aniseed sprinkles as a sweet addition for another occasion. Only then do pack size and the choice between whole and crushed sprinkles become relevant.
