Choose mini kano pastries for a set coffee-time treat only if your shop stocks them and you can check the portion size and allergens on the packaging. Jumbo’s product page says its 220 g mini butter kano pastries are no longer available in its online range. For regular kano pastries, Albert Heijn and Jumbo list portions of 45 g and 55 g respectively. A smaller size alone tells you nothing about the nutritional value per 100 g.
If you want to set out one treat to have with your coffee, check whether a mini pack is available and how much each pastry weighs. Jumbo’s page for its 220 g mini butter kano pastries says the product is no longer available in its online range.
For regular kano pastries, it helps to check the weight per portion and the number of portions. Albert Heijn lists six 45 g portions per pack; Jumbo lists five 55 g portions.
If an allergen matters to you, check the ingredients list and allergen information for each brand again. The products reviewed differ in their ingredients and warnings about substances they may contain.
First decide how much you want to set out for one coffee break. Then check the current packaging and whether the size you want is available.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Portion size | Check the weight per portion and the number of pastries or portions. Albert Heijn lists a 45 g portion for its butter kano pastries; Jumbo lists 55 g for its regular butter kano pastries. | For one coffee break, I want to be able to set out a small amount in advance. Around 44% of consumers prioritise a defined portion. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current ingredients list, allergen information and any warnings about substances the product may contain. | When choosing another brand, I don’t want to assume it has the same ingredients as my usual kano pastry. For around 33% of consumers, checking allergens is the top priority. |
| Availability | Check whether the size you want is available to order and whether the pack size suits your planned coffee breaks. | When I shop, I want to know whether I can actually order the size I’ve chosen. Availability is the most important factor for around 23% of consumers. |
Jumbo’s page for its 220 g mini butter kano pastries says the product is no longer available in its online range. So, seeing a product page doesn’t mean you can order it.
Check the order status with your chosen shop before counting on a mini size.
The size alone doesn’t tell you how many grams you’ll eat or what the nutritional value is per 100 g. You also can’t assume that products from different brands have the same recipe just because they have the same name.
Compare the amount you plan to eat and read the nutritional information per 100 g and, where provided, per portion.
Ingredients and warnings about the possible presence of allergens vary between the kano pastries from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and Aviateur at PLUS.
If you choose a replacement, check the ingredients and allergens on the current packaging again.
Albert Heijn lists a 270 g pack of butter kano pastries, with six 45 g portions.
Jumbo lists regular butter kano pastries in a 275 g pack, divided into five 55 g portions.
PLUS lists 230 g Aviateur kano pastries with a 46% almond paste filling.
Check with your chosen shop before you do your shopping. Jumbo says its 220 g mini butter kano pastries are no longer available in its online range, so the product page doesn’t confirm that they can currently be ordered.
Compare the weight per pastry or portion, not just the size name. Albert Heijn lists a 45 g portion for its butter kano pastries and Jumbo lists 55 g for its regular butter kano pastries. For a mini variant, check its weight separately.
Yes. Check the current ingredients list and allergen information for each new brand. The kano pastries reviewed differ in their ingredients and warnings about substances they may contain, so don’t rely on the packaging of a product you’ve bought before.
Follow the storage and use-by information on the packaging. The product pages reviewed recommend storing them in a cool, dry place; Albert Heijn recommends keeping them in a sealed tin after opening.
