If you’re looking for an individually wrapped seeded cake for the afternoon, a breakfast cake bar such as Peijnenburg Tussendoor+ grains, seeds & fruit could suit you: Albert Heijn lists sunflower seeds, oats and four individually wrapped bars. If seeds aren’t important and you’re mainly comparing fibre, sugars or the portion you’d have at home, also consider sliced wholemeal breakfast cake and varieties with no added sugars. Check the latest nutritional information, ingredients and allergen details for each variety; the seeded bar contains, among other things, cereals containing gluten and xylitol.
The form of the breakfast cake makes a difference: a wrapped bar is not the same as a cake you cut a slice from yourself. Your preference for seeds and the information on the label will then help you decide which variety to compare.
You’re looking for a handy portion for the afternoon and want it to contain actual seeds. For Peijnenburg Tussendoor+ grains, seeds & fruit, Albert Heijn lists four individually wrapped bars containing, among other things, rye, oats and sunflower seeds.
Your breakfast cake doesn’t necessarily need to contain seeds. Compare the nutritional information per 100 g and per portion: the Voedingscentrum lists 5.1 g of fibre for a 30 g slice of breakfast cake with no added sugar, but the value may differ for individual products.
You want to know which cereals, sweeteners and allergens are in your chosen variety before buying. Albert Heijn’s listing for the Peijnenburg seeded bar mentions cereals containing gluten and xylitol; the bar may also contain milk, hazelnuts and almonds.
First, decide whether seeds and a portable portion are essential for you. Then compare the nutritional information for the specific varieties and read the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging.
