Trader Joe's 'Pickle Season' Frozen Treats Are Back for a Limited Time
Weren't you aware that summer is also known as pickle season?
If you're fan and perhaps looking to expand your horizons, Trader Joe's has brought back a fan-favorite pickle product to the frozen section - but for a limited time. Now's the time to head to your neighborhood location!
"Just in time for summer (you know, pickle season) we're introducing Trader Joe's Dill Pickle Mini Falafel-vegan, garbanzo-based Falafel that get pepped up with an herby brightness from their partner, the Dill Pickle," Trader Joe's product description reads. "One bite, and you'll discover a pairing so harmonious, you'd think they were always meant to be enjoyed together. We really wanted to reach peak pickle here, so we've taken it a step further and used the pickle brine to hydrate the falafel mix."
The description continues, "These Mini Falafel are supremely snackable, and ready to heat and eat on their own. Each 12-ounce bag contains about 40 Mini Falafel -so you can try them in an array of pickle-y preparations. You could add them to a mezze platter, or atop a salad for a pop of mouth-puckering protein. Pack them in a Pita with Dill Pickle Hummus and mixed greens for a tangy twist on the classic. For an extra pickle-y punch, why not dip them in Dill Pickle Mustard for a pickle-packed snack?"
Check out the Instagram post from recent years below to familiarize yourself with the packaging.
And in a post from last week, the Instagram account @traderjoesobsessed plugged that the frozen find had returned to stores. "Welcome back these are my favorite pickle falafels the perfect size the perfect flavor," the post's caption reads. "I always try to grab three bags!!"
Fans also showed their support in the recent post's comments section. "OMG YES I LOVE THAT FALAFEL," wrote one Instagram user, while another person commented, "Yay this is what I've been waiting for!!!!"
