Choose crushed aniseed sprinkles for the festival campsite if you want a dry topping to sprinkle, not a liquid topping for a squeeze bottle. Albert Heijn and Jumbo describe De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as crushed, sugar-coated aniseed seeds that should be stored in a dry place. If you want to squeeze rather than sprinkle, choose a different type of topping and check its ingredients, allergens and storage instructions.
You want to add crushed aniseed sprinkles to bread, crispbread or yoghurt at breakfast without creating lots of washing-up. Bear in mind that the De Ruijter product described by Albert Heijn and Jumbo is a dry sprinkle, not a liquid topping for a squeeze bottle.
You’re looking for a topping that you can store as directed on the packaging without using space in your cool box. Jumbo says De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes should be stored in a dry place; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises choosing products with a longer shelf life when camping. Store any dairy products separately, following their storage instructions.
Before sharing breakfast, you want to know whether the topping is suitable for someone who needs to avoid wheat or cereals containing gluten. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list these allergens for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. Check the label on the pack you’re actually using, too.
