Choose individual 270 g packs if you’re unsure how many people will attend or want to avoid having much left over. A case of 9 x 270 g is a better fit if you can use the full 2.43 kg for a large group or several occasions. Check the delivery date and best-before date before ordering, and read the current label before serving: the product information for De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles lists wheat and cereals containing gluten.
Which quantity is right for you?
The expected turnout and whether you’ll use any leftovers later will help you decide between an individual pack and a case containing several packs.
Organisers of a large coffee morning
If you’re serving lots of guests or regularly organising gatherings, a catering case of nine packs could be useful. Kantinewinkel lists a case of 9 x 270 g of De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles. Before ordering, check that you can use this quantity and when the order can be delivered.
Small gatherings with an uncertain turnout
Individual packs let you match the quantity to the number of guests without committing to a full case. Albert Heijn and Jumbo both list a 270 g pack of De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles.
Organisers mindful of allergens
If you’re also serving guests for whom allergens are a concern, check the packaging you’re actually using. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles.
What should you look for when buying?
First, work out how much crushed aniseed sprinkles you’re likely to use. Then check that the ordering option, label and planned way of serving them suit your coffee morning.

Common mistakes
-
Choosing a catering case without planning how you’ll use it
A case of 9 x 270 g contains 2.43 kg in total. If you’re only organising one small gathering, you could be left with several unused packs.
Estimate how much you want to serve, and factor in future use, the best-before date and dry storage.
-
Relying only on a product page for allergen information
The online product information for De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles lists wheat and cereals containing gluten, but the packaging you receive is what you should check before serving.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on that packaging before offering the product to guests.
-
Offering the same topping to every guest
Crushed aniseed sprinkles have an aniseed flavour. In a group with different tastes, not everyone will want to choose this topping.
Decide in advance what you’ll serve the sprinkles on, and consider providing another spread or topping option too.
