There’s something quite amazing about Trader Joe’s. The prices are amazing, the employees are almost always chipper and super helpful, and the stores are always organized and actually fun to go to. Best of all, Trader Joe’s also has a ton of products you’ll never find anywhere else. The grocery chain is known for its quality, and manages to make some of the best guilty pleasures seem almost healthy. Which is why you should be psyched about their latest product — instant ramen noodles.
Instant ramen noodles probably make you think of your college days, or the solution for an easy and cheap work lunch. They’re filling and delicious — and you don’t have to spend a lot to get a lot. So learning that Trader Joe’s stamped their name on a new variety of ramen noodle is pretty exciting. “We taste everything before we put our name on it and offer only what we feel is extraordinary. We tried it. We like it. If you don’t, bring it back for a refund or exchange,” their website proudly states.
What that means is: They’ve got no artificial flavors or preservatives, no genetically modified ingredients, and no MSG (which is an ingredient that has been debated over its supposedly negative qualities, but that’s a whole separate story). That’s not too shabby, especially when instant noodles are at play.
The ramen was spotted by Instagrammer TraderJoesInsider, who found two grab-and-go flavors — chicken and miso — at a local Trader Joe’s. Judging by the picture, these new arrivals look delicious.
And even better, the miso flavor is vegan! So, if you’re steering clear of animal proteins and products, and also don’t feel like cooking, you might want to line your pantry with these.
Even if you don’t live near a Trader Joe’s, it’s good to know that a company out there is making sure to stock the best products at costs that won’t break the bank.
