There’s plenty of squabble over who exactly “invented” the donut. One of the more amusing origin stories we’ve come across traces it back to an American sea Captain Hanson Gregory. The story goes that, on a particularly choppy voyage, Capt. Gregory saw no reason he shouldn’t be able to steer his ship with both his hands and enjoy his favorite baked good at the same time—so he impaled the round, cake-like creation on his steering wheel. You know, like any logical sea Captain would. While we can’t say whether that’s fact or fiction, we can whole-heartedly empathize with Capt. Gregory’s extreme donut devotion. We, too, are known to sail the (culinary) seas, and we, too, LOVE donuts.

Trader Joe’s Glazed Sour Cream Donuts. are made for us by a family-owned, New England bakery and are the donuts of our dreams. These classic, ring-shaped Donuts are dense, cakey, moist, & extra fluffy (thanks to the inclusion of Sour Cream in their batter), and they’re smothered in a sweet, slightly vanilla- flavored glaze.
