Sometimes, our Buyers like to approach the development of new products like they’re solving a puzzle. As in: Marinated Artichokes are a decidedly delicious snack, but you can’t exactly carry a jar of them around with you — without getting a few odd stares, at least. The solution? Trader Joe’s Marinated Artichokes On The Go! Our supplier marinates these quartered artichoke hearts in a flavorful mix of olive oil, vinegar, garlic, thyme, basil, and lime zest, then drains them and packs them in a pouch so they can be enjoyed anywhere and everywhere that snacking is allowed.

Of course, their portable properties are only part of the solution: with these, you get all the benefits of tender, savory, Marinated Artichokes, and none of the residual oil or mess on your fingers. They make a great addition to school and office lunches, can be used to top salads, sandwiches, and pizzas, and at only 15 calories per serving, they’re an apt alternative to crackers or chips.
