Trader Joe’s Grilled Eggplant Wrap
The pros: Trader Joe’s Grilled Eggplant Wrap is a decent wrap but the star was the spicy tahini sauce.
The cons: For a vegan dish, this has quite a bit of fat in it. Sitting in the refrigerated aisle did the bread on this no favors.
The verdict: …
Trader Joe’s Canadian White Bread
The pros: Makes for a fantastic grilled cheese, seems more like real bread, very different from something like Wonderbread. Good taste for a white bread and good texture. Will keep on your countertop for about a week. Freezes well if you don’t need it right away. It’s Kosher, it’s made in the USA even though it’s called “Canadian.”
The cons: No preservatives so don’t expect a nuclear shelf life.
The verdict: …
Trader Joe’s Falafel Wrap
The pros: Trader Joe’s Falafel Wrap is not the best wrap in the refrigerate aisle, but not the worst either. It’s literally just falafel and hummus on a pita with a little tabbouli. The two halves were wrapped individually so you could get 2 meals out of this wrap.
The cons: Was missing something crunchy. Way too much plastic. Calorie count was very high. I had entire bites of just hummus.
The verdict: …
Trader Joe’s Turkey Club Wrap
The pros: Quick. It’s food. Trader Joe’s Turkey Club Wrap is basic food. For a dollar more, go to Subway instead. You’ll get way more for your money.
The cons: Flat tasting, dry, should come with a condiment in the packaging to moisten this wrap up.
