Smaller households
If you’re shopping for fewer people, the total pack size matters more than how much you sprinkle on each time. The De Ruijter pack listed by Albert Heijn and Jumbo contains 270 g.
Who should consider pack size?
Those who want to sprinkle small amounts
On bread, rusks or yoghurt, you can decide for yourself how much crushed aniseed sprinkles to use. Albert Heijn’s 6 g serving size can be a useful guide, not a set amount you have to use.
Those who check the label
If ingredients or nutritional information affect your choice, check the current pack. Jumbo lists wheat starch and sugar in the ingredients for De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles.
What should you look for when buying?
Before your first shop, think about how much of the pack you expect to use. Then check the serving size and the label.

Common mistakes
-
Mistaking a small serving for a mini pack
Albert Heijn lists a 6 g serving for a 270 g pack. So a small amount per serving tells you nothing about the total quantity you’re buying.
Check the net weight and consider whether you’ll use the pack after your first shop. A De Ruijter product called Kleintjes isn’t automatically a small pack of crushed aniseed sprinkles.
-
Overlooking wheat
Jumbo lists wheat starch in the ingredients for De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles. The texture of the topping doesn’t tell you what it contains.
If avoiding wheat is a requirement, don’t choose this pack based on its name or picture; check the current label.
-
Choosing based only on how you plan to use it
Crushed aniseed sprinkles can be added to bread, rusks or yoghurt, but sugar is included in the ingredients listed by Jumbo for this product.
Check the nutritional information too, and decide how often you want to use this sweet topping.
