For a planned group breakfast, a box of 9 × 270 g could be a good fit if you can use the full quantity and store it somewhere dry; Kantinewinkel lists this box. For a small group, or if you’re trying the anise flavour for the first time, a single 270 g pack may be more suitable. Arrange delivery around your event and check the label before serving, especially the information about wheat and cereals containing gluten.
If you’re organising breakfast for a festival crew or a large family, you’ll need to decide whether individual 270 g packs will be enough or whether a box of 9 × 270 g is better suited to the quantity you need. Albert Heijn lists the single pack, while Kantinewinkel lists the box.
When kitchen facilities are limited, storage advice matters. Jumbo advises keeping De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a dry place. You’ll also need breakfast items to serve them with, such as bread, crispbread or yoghurt.
If you’re serving the sprinkles loose to guests, bear in mind that wheat and cereals containing gluten are listed. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains the requirement to provide allergen information for non-prepacked foods.
Best for: a small group or a breakfast where you’d like to try the anise flavour first. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list this pack.
Consider: you’ll need to carry less, but a larger group may need several packs.
Best for: a planned event or large family breakfast where 2.43 kg is a suitable quantity. Kantinewinkel lists this box.
Consider: you can organise your supplies in one box, but you’ll need space to store it somewhere dry and should confirm the delivery time with the retailer.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is it important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | Work out how much you’ll need for each breakfast and compare 270 g with a box of 9 × 270 g. If you’re ordering a box, confirm the delivery time too. | When I’m buying for a large group, I want to bring enough without having lots left over. For around 36% of consumers, the amount needed comes first. |
| Dry storage | Read the storage instructions on the pack and make sure you have a dry place for it during transport and your stay. | With limited storage space at the campsite, I want to be able to keep my supplies dry. Dry storage is the most important consideration for around 29% of consumers. |
| Allergens | Check the current label for wheat and cereals containing gluten. If serving the product loose, make sure guests can access allergen information. | When I’m serving breakfast to guests, I want them to know which allergens it contains before they choose. This is the most important consideration for around 21% of consumers. |
| Serving and flavour | Bring bread, crispbread or another suitable base, and decide whether to offer other toppings too if you don’t know the group’s preferences. | When I don’t know a group’s taste preferences, I don’t want to rely on anise-flavoured sprinkles alone. For around 14% of consumers, the choice of what to serve is the deciding factor. |
The box listed by Kantinewinkel contains 9 packs of 270 g. If you need less, you’ll have supplies left over; the retailer also asks you to confirm the delivery time.
First work out how many breakfasts you’re catering for, then arrange the quantity and delivery to suit.
Gestampte Muisjes are sugared aniseed seeds, for sprinkling on bread, crispbread or yoghurt, for example. Any perishable breakfast items will need a separate cooling plan for your camping supplies. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends using a suitable cool box with ice packs if you don’t have access to a fridge.
Remember to plan the breakfast essentials, and store perishable items separately from the dry sprinkles.
