If you’re hosting a snack night for several people, a pack with enough pieces for everyone is a sensible place to start. Packs of 375 g containing 25 pieces or portions are good examples. Also check the grains, nutritional information and allergens for the variety you choose. A thinner or smaller pack may work better with your preferred toppings, but it won’t necessarily provide enough for several snacking occasions.
If several people are eating, both the number of pieces and the ability to keep the rest dry matter. Jumbo lists its wholemeal pack as 375 g with 25 portions; ALDI lists Goud Gebakken wholemeal as 375 g with 25 pieces.
If you’re choosing crispbread as a base for toppings, you can compare the fibre per 100 g and per piece. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists 1.4 g of fibre per 10 g piece of wholemeal crispbread. Check the nutrition table for the value of a specific pack.
When people at the table have different requirements, the exact variety matters. According to Jumbo’s product information, Jumbo Wholemeal Crispbread contains wheat and rye; Wasa Lightweight also lists milk. Check the allergen information on the pack you buy.
First, decide how many pieces you’ll need for snack night and for later. Then compare the ingredients of packs in the right size.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Enough pieces | Check the pack weight, number of pieces or portions, and storage instructions after opening. | When several people are eating, I want to put out enough crispbread without opening all the packs straight away. Around 42% of shoppers prioritise having enough pieces. |
| Wholemeal and fibre | Check which grains are used and compare the fibre per 100 g or per piece. | When choosing toppings, I want to know which grain is used as the base and how much fibre the variety contains. For around 33% of shoppers, this composition matters most. |
| Allergens and salt | Check the allergen information for the exact variety and compare the salt per 100 g, keeping the toppings in mind too. | When not everyone at the table can eat the same ingredients, I want to check first that the pack suits our needs. For around 25% of shoppers, checking the label is the deciding factor. |
Wholemeal crispbread may still contain ingredients that someone at the table needs to avoid. For example, the Jumbo and Wasa varieties mentioned list different grains and milk.
Before buying, check the ingredients, allergens and any precautionary warning about traces on the packaging of the exact variety.
If you snack on several occasions, the packaging matters after the first evening too: moisture can affect the crispness.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack, seal opened packaging carefully and keep the crispbread somewhere dry. Only open any individual inner packs when you need them.
Varieties with different claims on the front may also differ in their ingredients and salt content. Jumbo and Wasa publish nutritional information for their individual products; the values for one variety don’t apply to another.
Compare the full nutrition table per 100 g, and check the grains and allergens too before choosing a pack for everyone.
