Are seeds for your neighbourhood get-together more important than a large cake to share? Peijnenburg Tussendoor+ bars with grains and seeds, listed by Albert Heijn in packs of four, could be worth considering. If you’d rather put slices on a platter, choose a sliced Dutch breakfast cake. Check the ingredients for seeds, and remember to read the allergen information too if guests have dietary requirements.
