Which size is right for you?

Brunch hosts with a larger table

Want plenty of taaitaai to share, or a bag to save for later? Albert Heijn lists a twin pack containing two separate 500 g bags, weighing 1 kg in total.

Smaller brunch gatherings

If taaitaai is one of several treats on offer, a smaller bag can help you avoid leftovers. PLUS lists a 250 g bag alongside a 500 g option.

Anyone considering allergens or lunchbox portions

Check the label on the variety you choose and see how the biscuits are packed inside the bag. Albert Heijn and PLUS product information lists ingredients including cereals containing gluten and milk; a twin pack doesn’t automatically mean individually wrapped portions for lunchboxes.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide how much taaitaai you want to serve at your Easter brunch. Then consider whether you can store any leftovers and whether the packaging suits your guests or lunchbox plans.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
How much you need to share Compare the total weight with the size of your brunch gathering: Albert Heijn lists two 500 g bags in its twin pack. I’m serving taaitaai to a larger group and want enough for everyone to share. This is the top priority for around 45% of consumers.
Leftovers and storage See if 250 g will be enough, and follow the storage advice on the packaging once the bag is open. I don’t want to be left with a large amount for a small gathering. Around 33% of consumers prioritise avoiding leftovers.
Allergens and lunchboxes Read the label on the variety you buy and check whether the biscuits are individually wrapped. If I’m buying taaitaai for guests or lunchboxes, I want to know what’s in it and how I can portion it. Checking allergens or portion packaging is the top priority for around 22% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a twin pack contains individual snack portions

    Albert Heijn’s taaitaai twin pack is supplied as two separate items. That doesn’t mean the biscuits are individually wrapped for lunchboxes.

    If you want to take separate portions with you, check both the number of bags and the inner packaging.

  • Relying only on the online allergen information

    Ingredients can change, so the information on an online listing may not match the label on the pack you receive.

    Before serving, check the ingredients and allergens on the variety you’ve actually bought.

  • Assuming a St Nicholas listing means it’s part of the Easter range

    PLUS and ALDI list taaitaai in their St Nicholas ranges. This doesn’t tell you whether the same product will be available around Easter.

    Check that the size you want is currently available shortly before your brunch.

Frequently asked questions

Is a taaitaai twin pack suitable for separate lunchboxes?

Not automatically: Albert Heijn’s twin pack contains two separate 500 g bags, but that doesn’t tell you whether the biscuits are individually wrapped. Check the inner packaging if you need separate portions for lunchboxes.

Which allergens should I check in taaitaai?

Read the allergen information on the label of the specific variety you’re buying. Albert Heijn and PLUS product information lists ingredients including cereals containing gluten, wheat, rye and milk or lactose; possible traces vary by product. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens must be listed in the ingredients list on prepacked foods.

How should I store an open bag after Easter brunch?

Follow the storage advice on the packaging for your taaitaai. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place in a well-sealed container.
