When choosing kano biscuits for a birthday, use the stated number of portions if you want to plan one for each guest in advance: Albert Heijn lists six 45 g portions for AH butter kano biscuits, while Jumbo lists five 55 g portions for its butter kano biscuits. If you want to save leftovers for lunchboxes or need to account for allergies, also check the inner packaging, storage instructions and current label. The total pack weight doesn’t tell you how many individual biscuits it contains.
If you want to portion them out in advance, compare the stated number of portions with your guest list. Albert Heijn lists six portions for AH butter kano biscuits; Jumbo lists five for its butter kano biscuits.
If you’re planning to save any biscuits left after the party for a lunchbox, the number of biscuits, inner packaging and storage instructions all matter. Check each of these before choosing a larger pack.
The Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS varieties discussed here list allergens and may include warnings about cross-contamination. Before serving, check the information on the exact pack you’ve bought.
First, decide how many portions you want to plan for the party. Then check whether any leftovers will be easy to store, and read the label before serving to guests with allergies.
