Choose De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes (crushed aniseed sprinkles), 270 g, if you’re looking for sugared aniseed to use on bread, rusks, yoghurt or as a decoration. Store the product in a dry place and check the label, as it contains wheat. If you’d like to serve it at the table from a glass jar, choose one that seals well and is completely dry. Pick a size based on how much you want to decant. The 270 g on the packet doesn’t tell you how many millilitres of jar space you’ll need.
You’re looking for aniseed sprinkles to use on more than just rusks – perhaps on bread, yoghurt or as a decoration. When choosing between Gestampte Muisjes and aniseed sprinkles made with aniseed oil, the difference in ingredients is also worth considering.
You want to display the contents on the table or store them in a cupboard. In that case, a lid that seals well, a dry jar and a capacity suited to the amount you’ll serve matter more than appearance alone.
You want to check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information before buying. According to product information from Albert Heijn and Jumbo, De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes contain wheat.
First decide whether you specifically want crushed aniseed or another type of aniseed sprinkle. Then consider how you’ll store and serve it, and check the ingredients and nutritional information on the packet you buy.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Use and product type | Compare Gestampte Muisjes, made with aniseed, with aniseed sprinkles made with aniseed oil, and choose the type that suits how you plan to use them. | If I want to use the same sprinkles on bread, rusks or yoghurt, I give versatility plenty of weight. This is the top priority for around 40% of consumers. |
| Storage and serving | Check that the glass jar seals well and choose its capacity based on how much you’ll serve. Don’t convert 270 g directly into millilitres. | If you want to display the sprinkles on the table, what matters most is a dry jar that’s easy to use. This is the main consideration for roughly 30% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and nutritional information | Check the ingredients, allergens, nutritional values per 100 g and any information per serving on the current packet. | If I need to avoid wheat or compare sugar content, I start with the label. This is the most important factor for around 30% of consumers. |
Jumbo advises storing De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a dry place. A jar that doesn’t seal well isn’t an obvious choice for storing them.
Check the lid before you buy. Clean the jar and let it dry completely before decanting the sprinkles.
A 270 g packet doesn’t tell you directly how many millilitres of space the product will take up in a jar. A stated jar capacity also doesn’t, by itself, tell you what’s currently available.
Decide how much you want to put on the table at once, then check the capacity and dimensions of the jar you’re planning to buy.
According to Albert Heijn and Jumbo, De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes contain wheat. The aniseed sprinkles listed by Albert Heijn also contain wheat starch, so choosing a different product type doesn’t remove the need to check.
Always read the ingredients and allergen information on the packet of the product you’re buying.

For anyone who wants to split the contents between two jars. The set contains two clear glass jars, each with a capacity of 700 ml, with silicone seals and clip closures.
Check the cleaning instructions for each part before buying, and decide whether the capacity of each jar suits how much you’ll serve.
Yes, as long as the jar is clean, completely dry and seals well. Jumbo advises storing De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a dry place, so check the lid and make sure the jar has enough room for the amount you want to decant.
You can’t work out a suitable capacity in millilitres from the packet weight alone. Choose a jar based on how much you want to serve at once and the space you have, rather than assuming a particular size will hold the whole packet.
Product information from Albert Heijn and Jumbo also suggests using them on bread and yoghurt, or to decorate baked goods. If you specifically want crushed aniseed, compare the ingredients with those of aniseed sprinkles made with aniseed oil: they’re a different type of product.
Yes. Product information for the 270 g packet from Albert Heijn and Jumbo lists wheat. Check the ingredients and allergen information on the packet you’re actually buying; don’t go by the product name or colour.
