Choose crushed Muisjes if you want to portion out a fine aniseed topping yourself for an Easter brunch: Albert Heijn lists a 270 g box of De Ruijter with a labelled serving size of 6 g, but doesn’t say that the portions are individually wrapped. If you’re mainly looking for visible whole grains, consider whole Muisjes; Jumbo lists a 330 g pack of the blue and white variety, with a reference serving size of 15 g. Whichever you choose, check the current packaging for ingredients, allergens and use-by information.
If you’re preparing several small portions for rusks or yoghurt, the serving size on the label can help you measure them out. Albert Heijn lists a serving size of 6 g and 45 servings per 270 g box of De Ruijter Crushed Muisjes.
If you’re after a fine aniseed topping for cupcakes, cakes or pastries, Crushed Muisjes are an alternative to whole, visible Muisjes. Albert Heijn and Jumbo also suggest using them on bread, rusks and yoghurt.
For a decoration where individual coloured grains need to be visible, a whole variety is a better choice than crushed sprinkles. Jumbo lists a 330 g box of De Ruijter Blue & White Muisjes, with a reference serving size of 15 g.
