King’s Day breakfast organisers
If several people will be having bread or crispbread with sprinkles, compare the amount in each pack with what you plan to serve.
Who is this for?
Home bakers who want to use the same sprinkles more than once

Shoppers who need to consider allergens
If someone in your party needs to avoid wheat or gluten, the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging will help you decide.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide which type of product you want: crushed aniseed sprinkles, whole celebration sprinkles or aniseed hundreds and thousands. Then compare the pack sizes and check the packaging before serving.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this important for? |

Pack size is the top priority for around 44% of consumers. |
| Using them after the celebrations | Check whether you specifically want crushed aniseed sprinkles, or whether aniseed hundreds and thousands or whole celebration sprinkles would also work. | If I want to add sprinkles to bread, yoghurt or cupcakes after King’s Day, I look for a product type that suits those uses. This is the main consideration for around 33% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the current packaging for wheat and cereals containing gluten, and follow the storage instructions. | If someone sharing the food needs to avoid wheat or gluten, I want to know what’s in the pack before serving it.

Common mistakes
-
Treating a 330 g pack as a special sharing pack
De Ruijter celebration sprinkles, 330 g, come in a standard retail pack. A higher gram weight alone doesn’t tell you how many packs you’ll need for the dishes you’re planning.
Make a list of what you want to serve beforehand, then use it to work out how many packs to buy.
-
Assuming all aniseed sprinkles are the same
Crushed aniseed sprinkles, whole celebration sprinkles and aniseed hundreds and thousands are different types of product. So a larger pack of one variety won’t necessarily replace the one you’re looking for.
Choose the type you want first, then compare the pack sizes of suitable products.
-
Relying only on an older product listing
Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten as allergens for De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles, 270 g. Ingredient information can change.
Check the current packaging before serving the product to guests.
-
Storing the sprinkles somewhere damp
The product pages say that the crushed aniseed sprinkles and celebration sprinkles mentioned here should be stored in a dry place.
Store the pack somewhere dry and check the best-before date on it.
