Who is this choice relevant to?

Organisers of a big Mother’s Day breakfast

You’re catering for a large group or setting up a buffet. It’s worth working out in advance how many packs you’ll need for bread, rusks and any decorations.

Home bakers and breakfast decorators

You’re looking for a topping for something like yoghurt or cakes, and want to choose between a fine, crushed texture, whole sprinkles and aniseed sprinkles. The different product types listed by Jumbo each create a different look.

Shoppers checking for allergens

You want to make sure the sprinkles are suitable for your guests. Jumbo lists wheat in the ingredients of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, so check the label on the pack you’ll actually be serving.

What should you look for when buying?

First decide what you want to use the sprinkles for and how much you plan to serve. Then choose the product type and check the ingredients on the pack you’ve bought before serving.

What to consider What to check when buying Who should pay particular attention?
Quantity Count the portions and dishes you’re planning. Jumbo lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in 270 g packs; use this to work out how many packs you want to buy. When I’m setting a big table, I don’t want to run out of sprinkles halfway through breakfast. Having enough is the top priority for around 45% of consumers.
Texture and use Decide whether you want fine, crushed sprinkles, whole Feest Muisjes or Anijshagel. These are different product types. For decorating cakes, I want something different from a fine layer on a rusk. The look they want is the deciding factor for around 33% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the label of the variety you’ve chosen. Jumbo lists wheat in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes; if you’re serving yourself, also make sure you keep toppings separate. If guests need to avoid certain ingredients, I want to know what’s in each topping before serving. Checking the label is the top priority for around 22% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘bulk’ means one large pack

    Jumbo lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack. For a big breakfast, you may therefore need to plan for several packs.

    Decide how much bread, how many rusks and which desserts you want to decorate, work out how many packs you’ll need and check availability before ordering.

  • Confusing crushed sprinkles, whole sprinkles and Anijshagel

    According to Jumbo’s product information, these are different types. Swapping one for another will change the texture and appearance of your breakfast or cakes.

    Choose crushed sprinkles for a fine coating, whole Feest Muisjes if you want the individual sprinkles to stand out, or Anijshagel if that’s the product type you need.

  • Skipping the allergen label

    Jumbo lists wheat in the crushed variety checked. A festive colour doesn’t tell you anything about the ingredients or allergens in a topping.

    Ask in advance which ingredients your guests need to avoid, read the current packaging and keep toppings separate when serving yourself.

  • Overlooking the sugar per serving

    Jumbo’s nutritional information lists 4.7 g of sugars per 6 g serving of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. For a buffet, it’s useful to know how much you plan to use on each dish.

    Check the nutritional information and decide on portion sizes when planning breakfast.

Frequently asked questions

How many packs of crushed aniseed sprinkles do I need for a big Mother’s Day breakfast?

That depends on how many people you’re catering for and which dishes you want to sprinkle them over. Jumbo lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in 270 g packs; plan what you’ll serve first, then use that to work out how many packs you’ll need.

Can I use whole sprinkles instead of crushed ones?

Yes, if you want a different texture and look. The Feest Muisjes listed by Jumbo are whole sprinkles, so they won’t give you the same fine coating as the crushed variety.

Does De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes contain wheat?

Yes, Jumbo lists wheat in the ingredients of the De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes checked. If you have an allergy, always check the label on the pack you buy, as product information can change.

How should I store crushed aniseed sprinkles for breakfast?

Store the De Ruijter pack checked in a dry place, as stated in the product information, and follow the best-before date on the label. Keep any unopened packs sealed until you need them.
