Common mistakes
-
Mistaking a jar for a single portion
De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes is sold in a 270 g pack on the Albert Heijn and Jumbo product pages. So, if you’re having it for one breakfast, you’ll have some left over.
Before buying, check the pack size and best-before date, and consider whether you’ll use the rest later. Follow the storage instructions on the packaging.
-
Overlooking the aniseed flavour
Gestampte Muisjes is a sweet aniseed topping. If you’re simply looking for any kind of sweet sprinkles, the flavour might not be what you expect.
Choose them if aniseed is the flavour you want. Aniseed sprinkles are a different product and aren’t the same as the crushed variety.
-
Leaving it until after buying to read the label
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and cereals containing gluten for this De Ruijter variety. Jumbo also lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g.
Check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information on the current packaging before using the product.
-
Treating sweet sprinkles as the whole breakfast
Gestampte Muisjes is a topping, not a complete breakfast base. The Voedingscentrum recommends wholemeal bread as a good breakfast base and notes that sweet toppings can contain a lot of sugar.
First decide what you want as your breakfast base, then choose how much sweet topping to add.
