Frequently asked questions
Can I buy a single kano biscuit loose?
The AH and Jumbo variants mentioned are sold in packs containing six and five portions respectively; the portion size doesn’t confirm that they’re sold loose. If you’re looking for one biscuit sold individually, check the retail packaging and whether it has an individual wrapper with the retailer.
What portion should I choose if I want one kano biscuit late in the evening?
According to Albert Heijn, AH Butter Kano biscuits have a stated portion size of 45 g; Jumbo lists a 55 g portion for Jumbo Butter Kano biscuits. Choose based on how much you want to have, and also check the ingredients and allergens for the variant you’ve chosen.
Do I need to check the allergens on every pack?
Yes. If allergens matter to your choice, read the current label on the exact pack. The listings for AH, Jumbo and Aviateur differ; also look for warnings about allergens the product may contain.
How should I store an opened pack of kano biscuits?
Follow the storage advice on the pack you’ve bought. Albert Heijn recommends storing its butter kano biscuits in a cool, dry place and keeping them in a sealed tin after opening; Jumbo advises storing its variant in a cool, dry, dark place.
