Common mistakes when buying and serving
-
Mistaking a glass jar for the product packaging
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles as a 270 g product. A glass jar for the table isn’t the same as the packaging the product is sold in.
Choose the sprinkles based on their contents and ingredients. If you’d like to serve them in a jar, use your own clean, completely dry jar with a tightly fitting lid.
-
Overlooking allergens
Product information from Albert Heijn and Jumbo lists wheat; Jumbo also mentions cereals containing gluten. This matters if anyone sharing the food needs to avoid wheat or gluten.
Check the label on the pack you’re actually using before buying and serving.
-
Treating a full serving jar as a portion
Albert Heijn lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g for De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles. A large jar on the table doesn’t tell you how much you’re using per portion.
Use a small serving spoon if you want to portion out the sprinkles.
