What's New and Vegan at Trader Joe’s | Fall 2021 | Vegan Grocery Haul / Taste Test

[@MakeItDairyFree]

Have you tried any of this? Thoughts?

[@deandrawheeler7199]

I’m obsessed with the vegan pork rinds!

[@shinaevans1549]

The kettle corn, maple flavor milk, pumpkin rolls and the pumpkin spice tea are good to me! I would definitely purchase those again.. haven’t tried anything else yet.. tfs always

[@sleepylushie8667]

The Korean style pancakes are called "hotteok" and they're very different than western pancakes! Usually filled with brown sugar or honey and nuts, or there's a savory version with vegetables and glass noodles. The pancake layer contains yeast, which contributes to the chewy texture of the pancake. They're served piping hot with inside contents spilling out like lava, so of course Andrew would approve xD

[@MakeItDairyFree]

definitely would approve!

[@dkwahine]

Koreans prepare 2 types of pancakes that are very common: jeon and hotteok. Jeon have a liquid batter and are cruspy - traditionally savory with slivered or chopped vegetables. Hotteok is what that Trader Joe's version is. It is a bead-like dough (sometimes yeasted) that can be filled with sweet brown sugar, sweetened red bean filling or various savory fillings like clear, yam noodles with mushrooms and green onions. Hotteok are to be cooked to have crisp extrrior on a griddle or skillet while maintaining a little soft dough texturesurrounding the filling. Sooooo yum!

[@MakeItDairyFree]

Thanks for the information!

The major benefit of TJs parmesan over Violife parm is it sells for $3.99 vs over $6.00 if you can find Violife parm at any store other than Whole Foods. It freezes well also. That’s handy it TJ’s isn’t close by

[@dianew7058]

Thanks for the review. Yaay we in Huntsville ,AL have been waiting on a Trader Joe's for years...tomorrow, Thursday Sept.30 is THE GRAND OPENING!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏 Now I know what to look for....and vegan ice cream of course

[@Reznic007]

The Soy Creamy or whatever it is that they have is SO GOOD!! They only have vanilla and cherry chocolate chip but I always buy one or two of each when I make a trip to TJ’s! They also have a chocolate coconut based one I think but I’m not as big a fan. Have fun!!!

[@dianew7058]

The Korean pancakes (jeon) are supposed to be crispy, not like American style pancakes. They are a popular street food and also come in savory styles like scallion. If you have an Asian market nearby I recommend you try some as many (all?) are vegan and my guess is that the price is better.

[@MakeItDairyFree]

oh nice thanks!

[@ChiZillaaa]

You're not wrong about what jeon is, however, these pancakes are actually Korean hotteok (호 떡) not jeon. They're filled with a sweet filling (some type of sugary filling or even sweet red beans) but they're also common street food filled with glass noodles and veggies (like Japchae). They are also NOT supposed to be crispy but more chewy and kind of like a little pita pocket instead.

[@MsBeckly]

@@ChiZillaaa thank you 😊

[@chelseasullivan5311]

Just FYI, there aren’t over 180 calories in those cones. :) There are 6 cones in one serving and one serving is 370 calories.

[@MakeItDairyFree]

I'm realizing that now hahaha

[@ashlepenojalapeno4608]

Oh I'm definitely going out and getting these Korean pancakes!!! Can't wait to see you make your own as well! But yeah they're different than ours...and I almost want to say theyre not even considered a breakfast item when Korean style. I've had the savory versions before and they have more of a fried element to them than our pancakes so I guess same can be said for these sweet ones. Anyways, great food haul y'all!

[@dm3622]

Anything Korean has gotta be good! Thanks for sharing- I’m definitely stopping Trader Joe’s

[@MakeItDairyFree]

It's so good!

[@dea_ali]

I don’t have any Trader Joe’s close to me but I’m just watching because you guys are awesome! I love your energy!

[@MakeItDairyFree]

Appreciate that

[@LLJerseyGirl]

When I tried the Veggie Nuggets and liked them, they reminded me of something too: little frozen egg rolls that I would eat at my grandparent’s house. I would definitely get them again because if the nostalgic taste. Loved the pizza, it tastes like a good frozen pizza but vegan. I also loved the crust, which I haven’t really found in other ones. The Parmesan cheese is amazing and I love adding it to pasta, soups, and salads. I don’t think a non-vegan could tell the difference.

[@whiteyuri78]

One serving size of those ice cream cones is 6 cones. And you get 2 servings in a box. :)

[@ardilane1242]

You guys rock! I made the cinnamon pancakes in the toaster oven on the tray, 400°/ 5 minutes per side...puffy, crispy, yummy! ☮💜

[@MakeItDairyFree]

Yum!

[@tinamartin8706]

I think of Trader Joe's as progressive, so I was disappointed to see their greeting card saying, "I found a Vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free, whole-grain cake, but I think this card might taste better! Happy Birthday." That plays into people's prejudice, that vegan is for people who are on a health kick and into self- denial and that vegan products aren't tasty. Vegan products aren't just for vegans. They're for animal welfare and the environment. I wish Trader Joe's would create a greeting card with that message! Thank you for doing your part.

[@MakeItDairyFree]

That's really unfortunately. You should e-mail the company!

[@BloomWithBlossom]

That vegan pizza 🍕 and those mini ice cream cones were soooo good to me that I don’t think I’ll purchase them again because I can’t control how much I eat! 😩🤣😋

[@MakeItDairyFree]

[@tamcon72]

That roast is a great deal, and so is the pizza! I enjoyed this taste test, as someone who views Pumpkin Spice Everything as a threat to the free world; it's good that pumpkin is becoming more a regular ingredient, and that other flavors are being acknowledged as fall appropriate. The backlash is working, non basic friends! LOL! ThanksForPosting : )

If you are in Germany Trader Joe's is owned by Aldi Nord who are in North Germany, Poland, Denmark, the Benelux countries France Spain and Portugal. Aldi Süd are in South Germany, UK, Italy Switzerland and Austria and trade as Aldi in those countries and do not have Trader Joe's stuff.

Yes. The korean pancake is different from American pancake. If you guys ever have time, look up kimchi pancakes with vegan kimchi. It's a little tricky to make, but so good !

American pancakes are basically cake batters that are cooked in a pan (cue the Jim Gaffigan skit). Korean sweet pancakes "hotteok" is made with a yeasted high hydration bread dough.

@@MakeItDairyFree The cake batter cooked in a pan or the hotteok? Lol. Hotteok can also be filled with glass noodles and sauteed vegetables for a savory version.

I think that the Microway is destroying the whole concept of doing natural and vegan!!! do some vegan I need to go straight to doing something natural as possible! I have a suggestion sometimes when you’re going back to describe the products it would be helpful if you name them again, instead of saying this one, which some people might I can’t see what you’re talking about!!! I know this might take take a couple seconds of your time, but there’s all but will be very helpful! for those who don’t see what you’re talking about!!! naming the items you say this package, with this one there are people that have different challenges, and may not see what you’re actually talking about.
