Trader Joe's Popular Seasonal Kitchen Staple Is Finally Back, and Shoppers Are Buying 3 At a Time
Trader Joe's
There is a lot to be excited about at Trader Joe’s this month. The popular neighborhood grocery chain has already had an eventful year full of fan-favorite releases and savory snacks. And although the end of the year is very much in sight, TJ’s clearly has no intention of stopping the onslaught of must-have product releases ahead of the holiday season.
Earlier this month, we saw fans going nuts over the popular Truffle Oil Duo — with some people purchasing up to 20 bottles of at a time — and let's not forget the infamous Cheddar Cheese Spread that had everyone sprinting to their closest TJ’s location to try out. Clearly, the popular grocery chain knows exactly what it's doing, which is why the latest fan-find is likely to garner just as much attention, if not more.

Spotted by a loyal subscriber to the Trader Joe’s Subreddit, the Portuguese Flor de Sal is a Trader Joe’s-branded gourmet sea salt. The special thing about this particular item is that it is manually collected by hand from a thin layer of salt crystals formed on the surface of the sea. Flor de Sal is similar to its French equivalent, Fleur de Sel, and — unlike traditional sea salt harvesting methods that use machines — is harvested through a gentle process.

The crystals are small and delicate, and their flaky consistency lends to the meaning of its name, "salt flower," in Portuguese. Flor de Sal is different from other sea salts in that it contains more moisture than its counterparts and is a 100-percent natural source of magnesium and iodine.

Trader Joe’s’ Flor de Sal is packaged in a stylish ceramic crock which is topped with a cork lid to help protect the crystals and keep them from drying out. The unique packaging design makes this an ideal gift for anyone who enjoys cooking at home, as it also doubles as a decorative piece that can be kept on a shelf outside of the cabinet.
Trader Joe’s Flor de Sal is selling for only $4.99 a pop and truly is the perfect addition to any of your favorite holiday dishes. Whether you use it as a finishing salt on top of a juicy cut of steak or sprinkle it over your favorite chocolate dessert, this sea salt will undoubtedly elevate your meal in ways you did not expect.
