Trader Joe's Strawberry & Jalapeño Crisps

Product Details

Sweet Meets Heat. Your Cheese Board Just Got Interesting.

Strawberry and jalapeño is a pairing that sounds unexpected until you try it — then it makes complete sense. Trader Joe's Strawberry & Jalapeño Crisps are thin, crispy crackers that balance real sweetened dried strawberries with the slow warmth of dried jalapeño peppers and jalapeño pepper powder. The result is a cracker that's flavorful enough to eat straight from the box, and distinctive enough to anchor an entire cheese board. One at a time, or (more likely) by the handful.

What's Inside

Built on a lowfat buttermilk base with wheat flour, these crisps get their texture from sunflower seeds and flax seeds baked into every piece. Sweetened dried strawberries add bursts of fruity sweetness, while dried jalapeño peppers and jalapeño pepper powder deliver a clean, building heat. At just 90 calories per 11-cracker serving with only 2g of fat, these are one of the lighter cracker options in the TJ's lineup — without sacrificing any flavor. The 5.3 oz box holds about 5 servings.

The Trader Joe's Difference

Distributed exclusively by Trader Joe's (Monrovia, CA 91016) and produced in Canada, these crisps are a TJ's original — the kind of flavor combination that only TJ's would think to put in a cracker. As the box puts it: strawberry and jalapeño is a popular combination in jams and margaritas, and it took Trader Joe's to bring it to your snack shelf.
