Who is this choice relevant to?

If you’re planning portions for a group

Whether you’re hosting brunch, welcoming visitors to meet a new baby or putting together a dessert table, you’ll want to estimate how much topping or decoration you’ll use without ending up with too much left over.

If presentation matters to you

Whether you’re serving rusks or cakes, it makes a difference whether you want a fine sprinkle or clearly visible, coloured aniseed sprinkles.

If you’re catering for guests

If you’re sharing them with children or a mixed group, check the ingredients and allergens, and check the venue’s requirements if needed.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide which product type suits the occasion. Then plan how much you’ll need and check the label and any requirements for the event before sharing.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a 270 g pack will automatically be enough for the whole group

    Albert Heijn lists 45 portions of 6 g for De Ruijter Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles 270 g. That doesn’t mean 45 rusks or complete treats: the amount used can vary from one dish to another.

    Estimate how much you’ll need based on what you plan to serve, then decide whether you need more than one pack.

  • Assuming a larger pack contains crushed aniseed sprinkles

    Regular aniseed sprinkles in a 330 g pack and aniseed sugar strands in a 300 g pack are different product types. More grams won’t automatically give you the fine sprinkle you’re looking for.

    Choose the product type you want first, then compare pack sizes.

  • Skipping the label when sharing

    According to Jumbo, De Ruijter Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles 270 g contains wheat and cereals containing gluten. When you’re catering for a group, other dietary requirements or rules about treats may also apply.

    Check the packaging of the pack you’re using. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends asking in advance about allergies and other dietary requirements when providing treats for children.
