Trader Joe’s Curried Carrot & Cashew Dip

Average Price: $1.99*
Verdict: Skip It

Become It is “not really that well-executed,” according to Betty when it comes to the Trader Joe’s Curried Carrot & Cashew Dip. The dip is meant to be a healthier alternative to hummus, and the name is intriguing enough. Unfortunately, the Dip has received a largely negative reception from critics, who have described it as insipid. The flavor of carrot is overpowering and does not have enough “curried” character. The Trader Joe’s Curried Carrot & Cashew Dip positions itself as a healthier alternative to hummus for those seeking a more nutritious alternative to hummus (which is already pretty healthy, to begin with). Despite this, the Dip contains 0.6 grams more fat per serving (2 per serving) than hummus, which contains 1.4 grams of fat per dish. What’s the final say? It’s best to avoid it.

Trader Joe’s Unsweetened Golden Oolong Tea

Average Price: $1.19*
Verdict: Buy It

Trader Joe’s Unsweetened Golden Oolong Tea is available in 16.9-ounce bottles and costs $1.19 a bottle. Trader Joe’s made the point (right) that their tea is $1 less expensive than most other identical items available in the marketplace. Golden Oolong Tea is a highly popular beverage in Japan, and it has a strong flavor. It is distinguished from green tea and black tea by the fact that it has been semi-oxidized. It’s not as widely known as other types of tea, but the potential health advantages should be enough to persuade you that you should invest in a bottle. In addition, according to Healthline, oolong tea may help to increase metabolism while also benefiting your dental health, bone health, brain health, and heart health. It may even lower your risk of developing Type II diabetes.
