What to bring someone who doesn’t live near Trader Joe’s and wants to try things from there?

Most of the food is over-rated. I wouldn’t eat most of the cookies, chips, candy, baked goods, or snacks. They taste like cheap processed junk. But, I’m picky. If the person likes junk food, they will like it I guess.

I do like their nuts and dried fruit.

Peanut butter wafer bars you find at the checkout line are really good.

Brookies (part brownie, part chocolate chip cookie) from bakery section

Organic coffee beans (if they have a grinder) I can look at package of the type I get for name if you are interested

Frozen falafel-I love it and you can just pop in microwave, but if you like the deep fried stuff, this is not like that
