If you’re as pickle obsessed as we are, then you need to hit up your local Trader Joe’s ASAP. The cult-favorite grocery chain has officially entered their pickle season with the introduction of two new limited-time products: Dill Pickle Mini Falafel and Seasoning In a Pickle.

And that’s not all, TJ’s knows we love pickle-flavored foods so much that it’s brought back tons of customer favorite pickle-flavored products to celebrate summer — a.k.a. TJ’s official pickle season. Here are our favorite pickle-flavored products hitting shelves near you.

Seasoning In a Pickle Seasoning Blend

If you are a pickle-on-the-side at every meal kind of person, you will love this spice for adding pickle flavor to your favorite foods. Sprinkle a little bit on eggs, veggies, potatoes, hamburgers, or anything else for an extra tangy flavor. Try using it on chicken to achieve the vinegary taste that you love without doing a time-consuming pickle brine. The seasoning blend is available for $2.49 for a limited time.

Dill Pickle Mini Falafel

Whether enjoyed by itself, on top of a salad, or in a wrap, ready-made falafel is the perfect easy food. Pair the crunchy chickpea-based falafel with pickles and you’ve got a combo made in heaven. This dill pickle falafel is quick and easy to make in you air fryer, oven, or microwave and is packed with pickle flavor because the garbanzo bean mixture is hydrated with pickle juice. Grab a bag from the freezer aisle for $3.99 for a limited time.

Dill Pickle Mustard

The dill pickle mustard is back for its second year in a row! And you don’t to miss it this time around. Enjoy extra pickle flavor on your hamburgers, hot dogs, or sandwiches, or use it to spice up your potato salad, deviled eggs, or macaroni salad. The sky’s the limit with this dill-enhanced yellow mustard. Pick up your new favorite summertime condiment for $1.99 for a limited time.

Dill Pickle Hummus

We spoke with our local Trader Joe’s manager, and he let us in on a little secret: the dill pickle hummus is returning! Back by popular demand, TJ’s dill pickle hummus will be back on the shelves in September. The beloved hummus is great served with chips, pita, and veggies. While we don’t know the exact price, in the past this hummus retailed for $1.99.

Chips In a Pickle

Don’t worry pickle-flavored chip fans, Chips In a Pickle are on their way back to TJ’s, too! These pickle-flavored kettle cooked potato chips became a fan favorite after their release in 2021. However, many customers may have noticed the Chips In a Pickle haven’t been on the shelves recently, even though they are not a limited-time offer. We spoke with our local Trader Joe’s manager, and he told us there’s been some manufacturing backups impacting both Chips In a Pickle and Popcorn In a Pickle. He doesn’t know when the two pickle-flavored snacks will be back as a TJ’s staple, but they are coming soon.

Popcorn In a Pickle

The snack that started it all. Trader Joe’s Popcorn In a Pickle was its first pickle-flavored snack that became a customer favorite. Now, the pickle popcorn makes a comeback every year to ring in TJ’s summer pickle season. Unfortunately, this year, Popcorn In a Pickle won’t be available during its normal summer season due to the manufacturing delays. Trader Joe’s doesn’t know when the snack will be back, but rest assured, it’s coming!
