Choose your pack of kano pastries based on how many people you’re serving: a 275 g pack may suit a small gathering, while a 650 g box makes sense only if you want to serve or share that quantity. Then check the allergens and nutritional information on the current packaging, and see whether you can order your chosen product or need to buy it in store.
If you want to share kano pastries without being left with a large box, you could start with the 275 g packs listed by Jumbo and PLUS. Also consider how many people are eating and, if stated on the packaging, how many pastries are included.
For several people, the 650 g box of 14 HEERLIJCK BANKET pastries could be a good option. ALDI Nederland lists this pack as available while stocks last, so check it’s in stock before counting on it.
If you’re also buying for someone with an allergy or a specific dietary requirement, read the label on the pack you’re taking home. The variant listed by PLUS contains, among other things, wheat, soya, milk, egg and almonds. According to the Voedingscentrum, product labels can change.
Start with how much you want to serve. Then compare the ingredients and check how you can buy the pack.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity and leftovers | Compare the net weight and, where stated, the number of pastries with the number of people eating. Jumbo and PLUS list 275 g packs; ALDI Nederland also lists a 650 g box containing 14 pastries. | For a small breakfast, I want enough to share without having lots left over. Getting the right quantity is a priority for around 36% of consumers. |
| Comparing pack sizes | Compare packs of different weights and decide how much you’ll actually use. | If I’m choosing between a small pack and a large box, I mainly want to know how many kano pastries I need for my table. Around 29% of consumers prioritise this choice between pack sizes. |
| Ingredients and nutritional information | Read the allergens and nutritional information on the current packaging for the variant you’ve chosen. | When I’m buying for guests with an allergy, I need to know exactly what’s in the pack. This check is a priority for around 21% of consumers. |
| Where to buy | Check whether you can order your chosen variant or need to buy it in store. Lidl lists Sondey kano pastries as ‘In-store only’. | When I’m planning a breakfast gathering, I want to plan my shopping trip in advance. For around 14% of consumers, where to buy is the main concern. |
The packs we looked at range from 275 g to 650 g. The largest pack won’t necessarily suit a small group; ALDI Nederland also labels its 650 g box as available while stocks last.
Think about how many people are eating, and choose a larger pack only if you’ll use the contents.
The PLUS variant contains several allergens. According to the Voedingscentrum, labels can change, so information from a previous purchase may not apply to the pack currently on sale.
Check the ingredients and allergens on the current packaging of the exact variant you’re buying.
A product page being available doesn’t always mean you can order the pack. Lidl lists Sondey kano pastries as an in-store product, while Joybuy’s page for G'woon kano pastries says that the product is no longer available.
Check where it’s sold and whether it’s in stock before planning your shopping.
Jumbo lists a 275 g pack of own-brand kano pastries made with butter.
PLUS lists 275 g butter kano pastries, with product information including allergens and nutritional value.
ALDI Nederland lists this brand’s kano pastries in a 330 g pack, as well as a separate 650 g box containing 14 pastries.
Lidl describes Sondey kano pastries as butter biscuits with almond paste filling, in a 325 g pack.
Joybuy’s product page describes g'woon kano pastries weighing 275 g, with almond paste filling.
The Nutri-Score E listed by PLUS for these kano pastries doesn’t, on its own, tell you everything about your breakfast. Check the nutritional information on the packaging to see the nutritional values for this variant per 100 g or per serving.
Check the current label for the exact variant you’re buying. PLUS lists wheat, soya, milk, egg and almonds, among other things, in its butter kano pastries. Don’t assume another variant has the same ingredients.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you’ve bought. PLUS recommends storing them in a cool, dry place. For g'woon, Joybuy’s product information says to seal the pack well after opening and store it away from sunlight, heat and moisture.
No, the listed ways to buy them vary by product. Jumbo and PLUS show online product pages for their 275 g packs, while Lidl lists Sondey kano pastries as an in-store product and Joybuy’s product page says the g'woon variant is no longer available. Check whether you can order your chosen pack before planning your breakfast.
