Trader Joe’s is more than just your average grocery store. They’re well known for being full of fun and innovative products that you won’t find anywhere else, and with autumn upon us, they haven’t disappointed. Everyone is embracing TJ’s newest phase of pumpkin products with open arms, and we’ve certainly found a few that we enjoy ourselves. We’d just like to know how they come up with some of this stuff.
Lightly Spiced Pumpkin Spread
For the creative sweet tooth in all of us. This is like nothing we’ve ever tasted. It’s basically a jam made from pumpkin and cinnamon for that perfect note of warmth. You can spread it on crackers with cheese, on toast, even pancakes, and waffles. Or, you know, just eat it out of the jar.
Spicy Pumpkin Samosas
The classic South Asian pastry with a seasonal twist. For a savory take on the pumpkin craze, Trader Joe’s has prepared these samosas with paneer cheese, regular and sweet potatoes, and tons of Indian spice. They’re then fried and flash-frozen, so all you have to do is heat and serve!
Pumpkin Spice Espresso Beans
Like a Pumpkin Spice Latte, but more portable. If the PSL is on your radar as a fall must-have but you can’t always get to a Starbucks, Trader Joe’s has the snack for you. They’ve taken whole dark roast espresso beans and dipped them in white chocolate flavored with pumpkin spice. Each 2.5 bag has about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee for a comforting treat you can throw in your bag.
