Choose a glass jar based on how much crushed aniseed you want to put on the table: a small jar keeps the presentation compact, while a medium or larger jar makes most sense if you’ll also use it for storage afterwards. Don’t use the packet weight to work out the jar capacity you need in millilitres. Check the fill level you want and make sure the jar is clean and dry.
Want to serve crushed aniseed sprinkles alongside bread and crispbread without putting a large storage jar on the table? Albert Heijn lists a 250 ml glass storage jar. Choose based on the portion you actually want to serve, rather than assuming the whole packet will fit.
Looking for a jar for Easter brunch that you can also use for dry goods afterwards? Albert Heijn lists a 500 ml glass jar and a 0.6 l Brabantia storage jar. As well as checking the capacity, consider whether the opening will work well for the way you plan to serve.
If you want to use the jar for larger quantities after brunch, a 1-litre capacity is worth considering. Albert Heijn lists a glass storage jar in this size. IKEA also offers an IKEA 365+ food storage container with a lid, with a capacity of 1.0 l. A storage container isn’t necessarily the same shape as a serving jar.
First decide how much crushed aniseed you want to have on display at Easter brunch. Then consider whether you’ll have a use for the jar in your kitchen afterwards.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| A compact portion for the table | Compare a small jar, such as the 250 ml glass jar listed by Albert Heijn, with the portion you want to serve. Consider the fill level rather than converting grams directly into millilitres. | I want to put a modest amount of aniseed sprinkles on the table and keep the rest dry elsewhere; around 30% of consumers prioritise this kind of compact serving portion. |
| Use after brunch | Consider whether a medium-sized jar will suit your table and your storage needs afterwards; Albert Heijn lists 500 ml and 0.6 l jars. Check the opening, too. | If I want to use the jar for dry goods afterwards, I don’t want to choose a size that only works for this brunch; this is the main need for around 50% of consumers. |
| More storage space | Think about how much room a 1-litre jar will take up and how you’ll use it after brunch. If you want to use it for anything other than storage, check the instructions for the exact model. | What matters most to me is that a larger jar remains useful after Easter brunch, even if it takes up more room on the table; around 20% of consumers prioritise this need. |
Jumbo lists a 270 g packet of De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles, but grams measure weight and millilitres measure volume. You can’t use the packet weight to tell whether the whole pack will fit in a particular jar.
Choose a jar to suit the portion you want to serve. If you want to transfer the whole packet, first check how much space it takes up in the jar you have in mind.
Jumbo says De Ruijter crushed aniseed sprinkles should be stored in a dry place. A freshly washed jar that’s still damp inside isn’t suitable for this storage requirement.
Use a clean jar and let it dry completely before transferring the sprinkles. Follow the jar’s instructions when closing it.
IKEA describes the glass in its specific 1.0 l IKEA 365+ food storage container as oven-safe. This doesn’t apply to other jars or mean that the lid can go in the oven.
Only put a jar or component in the oven if the manufacturer says it’s suitable for the exact model and component.
Albert Heijn notes that product information, including ingredients, nutritional values and allergy information, can change.
Check the label on the packet you’ve bought before serving, especially if guests have allergies or dietary requirements.
The brand of crushed aniseed sprinkles you want to serve, not the glass jar.
A useful reference for comparing different sizes of glass storage jars.
A mid-sized alternative if you want to use the jar on the table and then in your cupboard.
Worth considering if you’re looking at a larger glass storage container as well as a serving jar.
These glass storage jars are options if you want to serve crushed aniseed sprinkles at the table and use the jar for dry goods afterwards. Compare each jar’s capacity with the portion you want to serve; the sizes don’t correspond directly to the weight of a packet of aniseed sprinkles.

This set is an option if you want to serve aniseed sprinkles in a glass jar and use the jars for dry goods afterwards.
The set contains two 700 ml jars, each with a clip-top lid and silicone ring. Check that 700 ml suits your portion. Also check the cleaning instructions for the exact product, as the information about dishwasher use is contradictory.

This set may suit you if you’re looking for several glass jars for storing dry goods and serving a portion at the table.
The set contains three glass storage jars. Before buying, check the capacity of each jar to see whether the size suits the portion you want to serve at brunch.

Choose a size to suit the portion you want on the table and what you plan to use the jar for afterwards. Albert Heijn lists 250 ml, 500 ml and 1-litre glass jars, but these capacities don’t tell you how many grams of crushed aniseed sprinkles will fit inside.
No, don’t assume that. IKEA describes the glass in its specific 1.0 l IKEA 365+ food storage container as oven-safe. Check the instructions for each jar and lid individually.
According to the Dutch government, an empty glass packaging jar without a deposit can go in a glass recycling bank. Local councils decide how collection works, so follow your local guidance too.
