People looking for a topping after exercise

Do you already eat yoghurt, bread or a meal after exercising and want to add an aniseed flavour? Jumbo suggests serving the product with bread, crispbread and yoghurt, while the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends a regular main meal after exercise.

People who want to serve it without making a mess

If you want to add something to your snack quickly after training, check the type of packaging. Jumbo and SPAR list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as a 270 g dry product, not a squeeze bottle.

People who need to check the label

If wheat or gluten is a concern for you, read the current packaging before use. Jumbo’s product listing names wheat and cereals containing gluten as allergens.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide what you want to eat after exercise. Then consider whether a dry aniseed topping suits that meal and the way you want to serve it.

What to considerWhat to checkWho is it important to?
Meal or topping Decide what you’ll have as a meal or snack, and whether you’d like to add a sweet aniseed topping. After training, I want to decide what I’m eating first, so a topping doesn’t become my whole snack; the meal or snack itself comes first for around 36% of consumers.
Easy to serve Check whether the packaging suits the way you want to serve it; the version described is a dry product. If I want to add a finishing touch straight after training, I don’t want to spill loose seeds; easy serving is a priority for around 29% of consumers.
Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging, especially if wheat or gluten is a concern. If I’m buying for someone who needs to avoid wheat or gluten, I want to know what the packaging says; around 21% of consumers prioritise checking the label.
Aniseed flavour as a topping Check whether you’re looking for a dry topping for bread, crispbread or yoghurt; the De Ruijter pack described contains 270 g. With yoghurt, bread or crispbread, I mainly want to add an aniseed flavour; that’s the main reason around 14% of consumers consider Gestampte Muisjes.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a dry topping comes in a squeeze bottle

    Jumbo and SPAR describe De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as 270 g of dry, sugar-coated anise seeds. This packaging won’t meet your expectations if you want to squeeze the product out of a bottle.

    Before buying, check the packaging and instructions for use if being able to serve it without making a mess is essential for you.

  • Thinking of Gestampte Muisjes as a complete meal

    The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends a regular main meal after exercise. Gestampte Muisjes are a sweet aniseed topping, not a meal in themselves.

    Choose what you want to eat first, and add the anise seeds only if you fancy that flavour.

  • Relying only on an online product listing for allergen information

    Jumbo’s listing names wheat and cereals containing gluten. When making a decision about allergens, the information on the packaging you buy is what matters.

    Read the current ingredients and allergen information before use, especially if you need to avoid wheat or gluten.
