Trader Joe's has a new product:
Organic Brown Rice...it comes three pouches per box, and each pouch is about 2 cups of cooked rice...to make it, all you do is throw the bag into the microwave for 3 minutes, then let the steam settle...this is a great thing for me to have in case i don't have time to make anything before work, then i can just take a protein shake and one of the bags, and make it here...this would also be a good thing for travelling i think...

And where can you find it? Is Joe's the name of the company or the retailer? PS: i can imagine that we will receve it in Canada only 2 years after you ;D Mo |

Trader Joes is the name of the grocery store. It is a fantastic place with great prices. I always buy my eggs and milk there, and frozen veggies and berries. They have their own brand of products that they sell in their stores. That probably includes the brown rice. I'm not sure if there are any stores located in Canada. You can check out locations on their website. www.traderjoes.com |

Where are you guys that have this store close to you? :Head Scratch:
After moving around the country a little I realized the grocery chains, unlike big retail chains, change dramatically from region to region. I have lived in Phila, Boston and Kansas City but never heard of Trader Joes unfortunatley. Sounds like a great place for the single guy that fends for himself cooking wise. Are they online maybe?

Yea...i get my rice at Trader Joe's. They are the only brand i see that has the same calories as my Oatmeal....150cals ;D per serving.
But i have microwaved any of my food in a LONG TIME....just because i'm anal..and am afraid those "waves" destroy nutrients.

You must try their Wasabi Mayonnaise!!! I promise it only goes up your nose a few times! It's low calorie, low fat, no carbs and just the right amount of ZING.
Their "Just Chicken" is great too. Already cooked and cut. Just microwave and you're on your way. Very convenient.
And of course you can't go without their chocolate covered caramels! Oh God in heaven, they are so good.

I get my Rice, Almond Butter, English Muffin, and bread at Trader Joe's I might start shopping for their alaskan salmon. Canned Alaskan Salmon is getting more sick everyday! ;D Don't get me wrong..i love salmon..and i used to like the canned salmon..but for somereason...it's starting to get to me. I still love tuna though. Hmm..i haven't seen any buffalo at Trader Joe's. I used to buy buffalo at Whole Food Market. Trader Joe's is also the only place i ever saw WHOLE GRAIN SPAGEHETTI..., and other pasta... |

I live at Trader Joes!! I love that place. Someone mentioned their almond butter!! MMMM That is some good stuff. If any of you have not been to one and you ever get a chance do it. It is not like any other grocery store. Great place to shop for health food, but be careful they also have alot of really good fattening food.
