These are new products in pouches shelved next to the
canned fish. They are quite cheap, at only $1.49 each. However, I wouldn't have bought them had I checked how much sodium they have, about 1500 mg which is more than half what an adult should have in a day. I prepared them over rice, and only ate partial portions because I watch my sodium. They both contain a generous portion of yellowfin tuna, and it's pretty good when you consider it comes from a pouch. The green curry was good, but the sauce is somewhat watery. The red curry is a spicy, creamy sauce with plenty of coconut milk. It is outstanding. Wonderful product. If it weren't for the high sodium content, I'd buy the red curry often. If you don't worry about sodium, these products are great values. On another topic, I've been thinking I've been limiting myself too much by buying only their California olive oils. This time, I bought their only Italian (Sicilian, actually) olive oil. I just tried it a few minutes ago, and I was not impressed. Maybe I just tried it the wrong way, on plain white rice. I'll use up the whole bottle, but I'm not optimistic. They have a Greek olive oil which is a couple bucks more expensive. I may try that. They also have a few Spanish olive oils, but I never use Spanish olive oils due to their history of contaminated oils. (Italians merely adulterate their oils.) Anyone know if any of the other Trader Joe's olive oils are better than what I've tried so far? |
