If you want to serve one kano pastry to every guest, choose a pack that states the number of portions or pieces: Albert Heijn lists six portions in 270 g, while Jumbo lists five portions in 275 g. For packs labelled mainly by weight, check how many pastries are in the pack. If any guests have allergies, always read the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack.
If you want every guest to have a kano pastry with their Easter coffee, the stated number of portions is a more useful starting point than the pack weight alone. Albert Heijn lists six portions; Jumbo lists five.
If you’re planning several coffee breaks, you can compare packs by weight. Sondey lists 325 g and Heerlijck Banket 330 g; check the pack to see how many pastries you get and what the date is.
The listed varieties from AH, Jumbo and PLUS include ingredients such as wheat or other gluten-containing cereals, egg, milk, soya and almond. Read the information on the exact pack you plan to serve, including any warnings about possible traces.
For an Easter coffee break, start by deciding how many pastries you want to serve. The weight helps you compare the total contents, but it doesn’t tell you how many individual kano pastries are in a pack.

Count your guests first, then check the number of portions or pieces in the pack you choose before buying.
Ingredients and warnings about possible traces can vary between varieties. This matters if a guest has an allergy.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack every time you buy, even if you’ve bought kano pastries from the same brand before.
