Choose mini taaitaai if you mainly want to be able to pick up small pieces, but check the net weight too: a mini or shaped-piece variety can still come in a 500 g bag. The stated serving size is a useful guide to the nutritional information, but it doesn’t mean that every piece weighs exactly that much. When ordering online, check that the variety you want can be added to your basket. If you have an allergy, also read the label on the product you receive.
You want to be able to pick up small pieces and compare the stated serving size with the total weight of the bag. For example, Albert Heijn lists a serving size of 11 g for AH Taai taai in a 500 g bag. That’s nutritional information, not the weight of each individual piece.
You want to know which ingredients and allergens matter for your choice before ordering. Read the information for the specific product and check the label when it arrives, especially if a different item has been delivered.
You’re adding taaitaai to an online grocery basket and want to receive the exact variety you chose. Check that it’s available to order from your retailer, and if a substitute is offered, check its size and ingredients again.
First decide whether you want small pieces or simply a smaller amount at home: these are two different things. Then check the ingredients and whether your chosen retailer can deliver it.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Serving size and pack size | Compare the net weight with the stated serving size. For AH Taai taai, Albert Heijn lists 11 g per serving and 45 servings in a 500 g bag; for Sint Taai Taai Figuurtjes, Jumbo lists 14 g and around 36 servings in a 500 g bag. | I want to be able to pick up small pieces without confusing the serving size with the weight of one figure. Around 25% of consumers prioritise this way of looking at portions. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information for the variety you’ve chosen, and check the label again when it arrives or if it’s substituted. | If I need to avoid certain ingredients, the label matters more than the shape of the taaitaai. This check is the top priority for around 31% of consumers. |
| Availability and substitutions | Check whether your chosen variety can be added to your retailer’s basket and what substitution options are shown. | I don’t want to receive a different variety without realising it when the mini size is what matters to me. Around 25% of consumers prioritise knowing what they’ll receive. |
| How much to have at home | Compare the net weight: PLUS lists a 500 g bag of Taai taai sint en piet and individual bags of ambachtelijke taai taai koeken weighing 250 g. The smaller bag isn’t automatically a mini variety. | I’d rather have less taaitaai at home, even if the smaller pack contains a different type. For roughly 19% of consumers, the total amount is the main consideration. |
The mini and shaped-piece products mentioned from Jumbo come in 500 g bags. Small pieces and a small pack are not the same thing.
Compare the net weight with the serving size, and choose a smaller bag only if the other variety also suits your needs.
Jumbo listed Mini Taai Taai 500 g as no longer part of its online range, while Albert Heijn says its range can vary by store. So seeing a product name in search results doesn’t confirm that it can be delivered to you.
Check availability in your basket. If a substitute is offered, check its contents, size and ingredients again.
The shape of taaitaai doesn’t tell you which ingredients or allergens a particular variety contains. A substitute may differ in this respect too.
Read the product information before ordering, then check the label on the pack you actually receive.

Lidl Netherlands is only relevant if you don’t need this purchase to be delivered with your online groceries.
No, not necessarily. The mini and shaped-piece varieties mentioned from Jumbo come in 500 g bags, so check the net weight as well as the stated serving size.
The serving size on the nutritional information doesn’t guarantee the weight of each figure. Albert Heijn lists 11 g per serving for AH Taai taai, and Jumbo lists 14 g per serving for Sint Taai Taai Figuurtjes. Don’t compare these figures as if they were the weight of each piece.
Read the information for the specific variety before ordering and check the label on the product you receive. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains that allergens must be listed in the ingredients list on the label. Check any substitute separately.
Check availability with your retailer and look out for any substitutions. Albert Heijn says its range varies by store, while Jumbo says it may look for a substitute if a product is unavailable.
No, not through a grocery delivery service operated by Lidl Netherlands. Lidl says it doesn’t sell groceries through its website or app and doesn’t deliver groceries. This doesn’t tell you what may be available in a physical store.
