If you want to share crushed aniseed sprinkles at a festival campsite, choose the 270 g pack if the crushed texture is what matters. De Ruijter Blue & White Aniseed Sprinkles contains 330 g, but these are whole sprinkles; the 300 g pack of aniseed sprinkles is another type altogether. Choose a pack size to suit the number of times you plan to eat them, and check the label for allergens and storage advice before sharing.
You want to share an aniseed topping for simple meals, but don’t want to bring more than your group is likely to use. So compare the pack size with the number of breakfasts or snacks you have planned.
You could compare the 330 g pack of whole sprinkles with 270 g of crushed sprinkles, as long as the different texture also suits what your group wants to eat.
Check the packaging before sharing the sprinkles, especially if anyone avoids wheat or gluten, or if you need to store them in a damp tent or bag.
Before sharing at the festival campsite, work out how many times you plan to eat them. Then compare the type of sprinkles and check that the allergen and storage information suits your group and where you’ll be keeping them.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size for your group | Compare 270 g of crushed sprinkles with 330 g of whole sprinkles and 300 g of aniseed sprinkles. Think about what you’ll use after the festival, too. | If we’re only having breakfast together a few times, I don’t want to choose a pack based on size alone. A suitable portion for the group is the top priority for around 31% of consumers. |
| Keeping them dry | Read the storage advice and think about where you can keep an opened pack dry. | In a damp tent, I want to be able to put the sprinkles away somewhere dry after using them. Dry storage is the top priority for around 31% of consumers. |
| Wheat and gluten | Check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’re buying, especially if anyone avoids wheat or gluten. | If anyone in the group avoids wheat or gluten, I need to know what the label says before sharing. This check takes priority for around 23% of consumers. |
| Type of sprinkles | Choose between crushed sprinkles, whole sprinkles and aniseed sprinkles; they are different products. | For a planned breakfast, I want a type of sprinkle that suits what we’re eating, not just the same aniseed flavour. For around 15% of consumers, how the product is used is the deciding factor. |

Check the label on the pack you’ve bought before serving, especially if anyone in the group avoids wheat or gluten.
Albert Heijn advises keeping the crushed sprinkles in a dry place. Yoghurt, milk and other highly perishable toppings need to be checked and stored separately.
Keep the sprinkles dry and follow the separate storage instructions for chilled products.
De Ruijter Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles, Blue & White Aniseed Sprinkles and Aniseed Sprinkles come in different forms. So a larger pack of whole sprinkles won’t necessarily replace the crushed texture you’re looking for.
Check the product name and type of sprinkles before choosing an alternative based on pack size.
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter products in three different aniseed sprinkle styles: 270 g of crushed sprinkles, 330 g of whole sprinkles and 300 g of aniseed sprinkles.
These products offer two alternatives to crushed sprinkles: a larger pack of whole sprinkles and a pack of aniseed sprinkles. Choose them only if their different texture suits what you want to eat with your group.

An alternative if you’re looking for an aniseed topping to share at breakfast, but don’t specifically want crushed sprinkles.
Pack size: 300 g. Aniseed sprinkles are a different product type, so check the ingredients, allergens and storage instructions on the packaging.
Not necessarily: whether 270 g is enough depends on the number of people and planned meals. The 330 g pack contains whole sprinkles, so it isn’t a larger pack of the same crushed product.
For the crushed sprinkles in this comparison, Albert Heijn advises keeping them in a dry place. Keep highly perishable toppings separate and chilled according to their own storage instructions; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends a fridge temperature of 4 °C for highly perishable food.
No, not according to the ingredients and allergen information listed by Jumbo: these include wheat starch, wheat and cereals containing gluten. Also check the label on the pack you actually buy.
Sprinkling crushed aniseed sprinkles over bread or crispbread takes no preparation. If you’d like to have them with yoghurt, make sure you have a suitable chilled place to store the yoghurt separately.
