Not only did we BUY this big bag of coconut cashews, we deliberately
went back through line a SECOND TIME to buy them. We had already checked out at the Palm Beach
Gardens, Florida Trader Joe’s when David spied these and we thought, “Why
not??!”.
David is the cashew lover at our house.
Cashews are usually not good to me – too buttery or meaty or something
(not that I have anything against butter or meat, I guess what I am trying to
say is cashews are not my favorite…). We
were heading into a few days of rest and relaxation for David and stocking up
on treats for him to munch on so these seemed like a good fit. I would be working long hours, he would be
munching cashews.

So I tried one. And I agree –
blah blah blah. Salt is listed as an
ingredient, but it is the last one listed so I assume it is only a teeny tiny
dash per 5,000,000,000 cashews or something.
These puppies could use a more generous dusting of SEA SALT. We both agree that would perk the flavor up.

The packaging says “We’ve married two favorite tropical flavors to come
up with a Trader Joe’s treat that we bet you won’t be able to stop
eating!”. Well Joe, you lose that
bet. We stopped eating these right after
we opened the big, expensive 14 oz bag and will be returning them today for a
refund. Sorry! These just didn’t work for us.
Our suggestions: add SEA SALT and
package them in a very tiny bag instead of this huge one. That will make them tastier and cheaper. David adds, “Add something tasty to them to
give them some zing – maybe LIME or CHILI POWDER!”. Until then – refund please.
