Frequently asked questions
Are crushed aniseed sprinkles convenient to eat while running?
Not necessarily. Jumbo describes De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as a food topping, while eating the loose grains on the move takes some thought. Before a long run, try carrying and eating a portion, and plan your drinks separately.
Do I need to eat something on the go for every marathon training session?
No, not for every session. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, sports bars and gels aren’t needed for exercise lasting less than an hour. For longer, intense exercise, your choices of food and drink depend on the duration and your training plan.
Can I assume there’ll be a large pack of crushed aniseed sprinkles to share?
Don’t assume there’s a larger pack without checking the contents. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack. Work out how many packs you’ll need for your group.
How should I store De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes?
Store the sprinkles in a dry place, as advised in Jumbo’s product information. Also check the best-before date on the pack, especially if you’re buying them well in advance of a shared meal.
Which allergens should I check for in these sprinkles?
Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. Always check the allergen information on the pack you actually buy before sharing it, as product information can change.
