Choose a pack of kano biscuits if you’re looking for a sweet biscuit filled with almond paste to enjoy on the go. The products described by Albert Heijn and Jumbo are not chocolate boxes. If you’re planning a snack, compare the portion sizes and pack contents, and check the latest ingredients and allergen information on the packaging if you have a food allergy. If you’re looking for chocolate to give as a gift, browse that product category instead.
You want to take a pack with you on a journey or to work, and are checking the weight per portion, pack contents and storage instructions. Albert Heijn and Jumbo each list their own portion sizes for kano biscuits.
You want to know how many biscuits or portions you’ll get from a pack. The packs described by Albert Heijn, Jumbo and ALDI come in different weights, so choose an amount that suits how you plan to use them.
Check the current packaging before buying. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list ingredients including egg, milk, soya and almond, as well as ingredients containing gluten. Also check for any warnings about other allergens.
First decide whether you’re looking for a biscuit to enjoy on the go or chocolate to give as a gift. If kano biscuits suit your plans, consider how many you want to take at a time, how much is in the pack and which ingredients are listed.
