Frequently asked questions
Is a 125 g bag of taaitaai the same as a single bar?
No, a 125 g bag isn’t the same as an individually wrapped bar. If you need exactly one individually wrapped portion, check the packaging description.
How much taaitaai should I buy if I’m eating alone?
A smaller bag could be a good option if you want to avoid having much left over: Albert Heijn lists 125 g gluten-free options from Maître Mathis and Consenza, while PLUS lists a regular 250 g bag. Check the ingredients as well as the weight; a 500 g bag is mainly worth considering if you’re planning to enjoy it on several occasions.
Is gluten-free taaitaai also free from other allergens?
No, gluten-free says nothing about other allergens. The product information for Maître Mathis lists milk and lupin and says it may contain egg, nuts and sesame; Consenza’s information lists oats and almonds. Check the current label for the ingredients and warnings that matter to you.
How should I store a larger bag of taaitaai?
Follow the storage instructions on the bag you buy. For its taaitaai, Albert Heijn recommends using a sealed tin after opening; Jumbo says to store it in a cool, dry place. Also check the best-before date on the packaging.
Can I count on finding taaitaai when I do my Christmas shopping?
Check current stock before you count on it being available. Some of the products mentioned, such as Jumbo Sint Taai Taai Figuurtjes, are sold in a Sint-seasonal context; that doesn’t guarantee they’ll be available when you do your Christmas shopping.
