Who are crushed aniseed sprinkles suitable for?

Hosts serving sweet bites with drinks

You want to top crispbread or cakes with an anise-flavoured sprinkle for several guests. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list crushed aniseed sprinkles as a topping for items such as crispbread and cakes. For savoury bites to serve with drinks, choose something else.

Anise flavour fans

You’re choosing a sweet sprinkle for its aniseed flavour. Check that it will go well with the food you’re serving and suit your guests too.

Hosts who check ingredients

You want to know what your guests can eat before serving. According to product information from Albert Heijn and Jumbo, De Ruijter Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles in the 270 g pack contain wheat and gluten. Check the current label too.

What should you consider when choosing?

First decide how you’ll serve the sprinkles, then work out whether the 270 g pack is right for the number of bites you’re making. Check the ingredients before serving, so you know they’re suitable for your guests.

What to consider What to check Who it matters to
Serving across several portions Compare the 270 g pack with the number of pieces of crispbread or cakes you want to top. If I’m making several sweet bites, I need to be able to divide the topping between all the portions. This is the top priority for around 43% of consumers.
Anise flavour Consider whether anise will go with your chosen bites and whether you’d like to offer another flavour too. I choose this topping for its distinctive anise flavour, even if not every guest enjoys it. Around 29% of consumers give flavour the highest priority.
Ingredients and sugars Check the current label for wheat and gluten, and look at the nutritional information per 100 g or per serving. When guests have different dietary requirements, I want to know first whether this sweet topping is suitable for the table. This is the main concern for around 28% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a 270 g pack is a bulk pack

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles in a 270 g pack, but don’t describe it as a sharing bag or catering-size pack.

    Count the bites you want to top, then use that to work out how many packs you’ll need.

  • Serving the topping without reading the label

    Product information from Albert Heijn and Jumbo lists wheat and gluten. This matters if you’re also serving bites to guests on a gluten-free diet.

    Check the current packaging, make it clear which bites contain the sprinkles, and use separate serving utensils for gluten-free food.

  • Presenting crushed aniseed sprinkles as a snack mix

    They’re sugared aniseeds sold as a topping or sprinkle, so they serve a different purpose from a bowl of snacks to eat on their own with drinks.

    Serve them on small bites, and choose other options separately if you’d also like to offer something savoury.

  • Assuming another type of aniseed sprinkles is the same larger pack

    According to Jumbo’s range, De Ruijter Party Sprinkles and the pink-and-white or blue-and-white sprinkles in 330 g packs are different products from crushed aniseed sprinkles.

    Check the full product name and the shape of the sprinkles before choosing a larger pack.
