Trader Joe's Debuts $3.29 Pickled Red Onions That Shoppers Are 'Unreasonably Excited About': 'I'm All for It'

As anyone who has ever wandered into the store is sure to attest, Trader Joe's has a virtually limitless supply of worthwhile items lining its shelves, from sweet and savory treats to ready-made frozen dinners.

As great as all of these products are in and of themselves, the fan-favorite supermarket chain might just have launched its most delicious-sounding product in the form of their new $3.29 Pickled Red Onions.

A simple yet endlessly satisfying treat that goes remarkably well with a variety of dishes, the Pickled Red Onions feature a generous supply of sliced red onions marinated in a blend of apple cider vinegar, sugar, garlic, salt and whole black peppercorns, as revealed on the company's website.

"All preparations of onions have their place," Trader Joe's said of their new product. "Fresh Onions are great sliced on a burger or diced on a taco. Grilled onions are tremendous with a hot dog or sandwich. And pickled onions? Well, if you ask us, pickled onions make a tip-top topping for pretty much anything that could use a little tang, a little texture, and a little pop of umami."

Delivering a "well-balanced profile of sweet, savory, bold, and briny that synergizes well with everything from avocado toast to Carne Asada fries," Trader Joe's Pickled Red Onions truly make for the ideal accompaniment to almost every savory dish, be it burgers, nachos, tacos or some other weekday meal.

"Our Pickled Red Onions add a phenomenal finishing touch to a plate of chilaquiles or a lox-laden bagel at breakfast, a bowl of ramen, or a quick Chopped Salad at lunch, and pulled pork or roast chicken at dinner," the company went on to say of the new product. "And when it comes to appetizers and hors d'oeuvres, they're an essential addition to nachos, mezze platters, and deviled eggs."

As with most of Trader Joe's newly launched products, the Pickled Red Onions have been met with an unwaveringly positive response across social media, with many shoppers voicing their support for the new item on Instagram.

"I'm unreasonably excited about the pickled red onions," wrote one user. "I 100% am aware it's easy to make at home but it's just one less thing I have to do and I'm all for it."

"So many things to do with those pickled red onions!" another shopper agreed.
