Choose De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, 270 g, if you’re specifically looking for finely crushed aniseed sprinkles to take in small portions or use as a topping. Albert Heijn lists 45 servings of 6 g per pack. For a family or event, you can work out how many packs you need based on this amount. However, they’re less suitable if you’re looking for a protein-focused sports snack: according to the product information, they contain 2 g of protein and 79 g of sugars per 100 g.
Want to measure out a sweet treat or topping in advance to take in their gym bag. Albert Heijn lists a 6 g serving, containing 4.7 g of sugars. Take the sprinkles with you dry and in a well-sealed container.
Want to know how many packs they’ll need for things like rusks, yoghurt or decoration. The 270 g pack size and 45 servings per pack listed by Albert Heijn give you a basis for working this out. You may need more if you plan to sprinkle generously.
Are looking for a snack that fits their nutritional goals around exercise. According to the product information, Gestampte Muisjes contain 2 g of protein and 79 g of sugars per 100 g. So compare the nutritional information with that of a snack you’d choose for its protein content.
First decide whether you want a small sweet portion to take with you, need to plan the total amount for a group, or are mainly keeping an eye on nutritional information around exercise.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who should pay particular attention? |
|---|---|---|
| Small portion to take with you | Compare the 6 g serving with the amount you want to take, and check the advice to keep the product dry. | I want a small sweet treat in my gym bag without taking the whole box. For around 44% of consumers, a portable portion is the top priority. |
| Amount for a group | Allow for 270 g per pack and 45 servings of 6 g; adjust the number of packs if you plan to sprinkle more generously. | For a family or event, I want to have enough sprinkles, even if guests take more than one serving as listed on the label. For around 33% of consumers, the total quantity comes first. |
| Nutritional information for exercise | Read the nutritional information per 100 g and per serving, especially the amounts of sugars and protein. | If I’m mainly looking for protein after exercise, I don’t want to choose a snack just because it’s convenient and sweet. This nutritional goal is the deciding factor for around 23% of consumers. |
According to the product information, Gestampte Muisjes contain 2 g of protein and 79 g of sugars per 100 g. That makes them an unlikely choice if protein is your main reason for buying a snack.
Decide whether you’re looking for a sweet flavouring or a snack to meet a specific nutritional goal, then compare the nutritional information per serving and per 100 g.
