Chile Spiced Pineapple

As far as flavor combinations go, it's hard to beat sweet and spicy. There's a distinct dynamism to it, where the more you crank up the sweetness and the spiciness, the more interesting the flavor profile becomes. In the case of Trader Joe's Chile Spiced Pineapple, for example, we've taken something super sweet and succulent (dried rings of pineapple from Ghana) and paired it up with something truly spicy (a bold chili powder blend with cayenne and traditional chamoy powder), plus a little extra cane sugar and salt to make a snack that hits that special mix of sweet and heat that leaves you craving more with every bite.

Great for bringing along on road trips, keeping on hand at work, or simply enjoying at home, our Chile Spiced Pineapple is great for practically any snacking occasion. It's hot enough to warrant a pairing with a crisp, refreshing drink, like our Sparkling Coconut Water with Yuzu or a bottle of Trader José Lager, but not so hot that it will scare off non-heat-seekers.
