Choose aniseed sprinkles for an organic option only if the specific pack carries the EU organic logo. Then decide how much you want to put out on the table. A pack weighing 270 g or 330 g doesn’t tell you, by itself, what capacity your glass jar needs. Try filling the jar first and check that its opening is practical for serving.
For these shoppers, checking the pack comes before choosing a serving jar. The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) identifies the EU organic logo, recognisable by its green leaf, as the mark to look for on organic products.
The quantity should suit the occasion. PLUS lists approximately 22 servings for its 330 g pack of blue and white De Ruijter aniseed sprinkles. Use this as a guide for that specific pack, rather than as a standard serving size for all aniseed sprinkles.
When choosing a glass jar, consider both the quantity of aniseed sprinkles and how you’ll serve them. Decide whether guests will need to scoop them from the jar, and test how much space they take up using the pack you’ve chosen, rather than converting grams directly into millilitres.
First, check the organic label on the aniseed sprinkles themselves. Then choose a quantity for the table, and only after that consider the jar’s capacity and opening.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Organic status | Look for the EU organic logo, the green leaf, on the specific pack. | If organic is a must, I want to be able to identify the aniseed sprinkles themselves by their logo, rather than relying on the shop’s range. This check is the top priority for an estimated 36% of consumers. |
| Quantity and jar size | Compare the pack weight with your serving plans and try filling a jar you already have; don’t work out the capacity in millilitres from the weight. | For a table of guests, I want to put out enough without choosing a jar that isn’t right for my pack. Getting this match right is the top priority for around 29% of consumers. |
| How you’ll serve them | Decide whether the jar is for rusks, a topping or storage, and check that the opening is suitable. | If guests will be helping themselves, I want scooping or sprinkling from the table to be practical. The way the aniseed sprinkles are served is the main consideration for an estimated 21% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the label on the variety you’ve chosen and keep the information to hand when you transfer the aniseed sprinkles. | When serving others, I want to be able to check which ingredients and allergens are in the jar. This is the top buying priority for around 14% of consumers. |
A shop selling organic products doesn’t tell you anything about the label on an individual pack of aniseed sprinkles. According to the RVO, the EU organic logo is the mark to look for on organic products.
So check for the logo on the pack of the exact aniseed sprinkles you want to buy.
The 270 g and 330 g packs listed by PLUS show the weight, not the capacity of a suitable jar. You also need to allow enough room to scoop the aniseed sprinkles out.
Use the specific pack to test the fit, and check that the jar opening works with the spoon or sprinkling motion you plan to use.
Guests won’t be able to check what’s in the jar on the original label. PLUS’s product listing for De Ruijter Feestmuisjes mentions wheat and cereals containing gluten; check other varieties separately.
Keep the packaging by the jar, or clearly display the product name and allergen information from the current label next to the aniseed sprinkles.
The Dutch retailer listings reviewed include crushed aniseed sprinkles in 270 g packs, as well as Feestmuisjes and blue and white aniseed sprinkles in 330 g packs.
These glass jars are options for displaying aniseed sprinkles on the table. Choose the aniseed sprinkles separately to meet your organic requirements, then check that the jar’s capacity and opening suit your serving plans using the pack you’ve chosen.

For anyone considering a single glass jar for the table and wanting to compare a stated capacity in advance. The product name specifies clear glass, a stainless steel lid and a capacity of 1,7 l. That capacity doesn’t confirm whether a 270 g or 330 g pack of aniseed sprinkles will fit. Test the fill and check that the opening is practical for serving.

For anyone considering several jars for the table or for storage. The product name specifies a set of three glass jars and describes them as airtight. Check the capacity and opening of each individual jar before deciding how many aniseed sprinkles to put in them.
Check the specific pack for the EU organic logo, the green leaf. The RVO explains that consumers can use this logo to see that a product meets European rules for organic products. A shop’s organic range, on its own, doesn’t tell you whether the aniseed sprinkles you’re buying are organic.
Choose a quantity to suit the number of guests and how you plan to serve them. PLUS lists approximately 22 servings for the 330 g pack of blue and white De Ruijter aniseed sprinkles, but this estimate for that variety doesn’t determine how much each group will use.
Keep the information from the current label to hand by the jar. For example, keep the packaging or display the product name and allergens next to the jar. PLUS’s product listing for De Ruijter Feestmuisjes mentions wheat and cereals containing gluten, but check each variety separately.
