If you’re looking for a savoury breakfast, choose a savoury spread rather than aniseed sprinkles: the sprinkles reviewed here are sweet aniseed toppings. If you’re buying them just for yourself, check the pack size and look for an explicit indication that it’s an individual portion. The 270 g and 330 g packs reviewed here haven’t been confirmed as single portions.
You’re looking for a breakfast spread for one, but don’t want to buy sweet aniseed sprinkles when savoury flavours are your priority. For example, Albert Heijn classifies hummus, sandwich and toast spreads, and cream cheese as savoury spreads.
You’re specifically looking for aniseed sprinkles for bread or crispbread, and want to work out whether a 270 g or 330 g pack suits how much you use. Check the ingredients and nutritional information on the label too.
Check the ingredients and allergen information for the variant you choose. Jumbo lists wheat starch in the ingredients of De Ruijter Feest Muisjes, so don’t assume other variants have the same ingredients based on the product name.
First, decide whether a savoury flavour is essential. Then consider the pack format and, if you’re specifically choosing sweet aniseed sprinkles, check the label.
