Trader Joe's wants to take your taste buds on a trip to Jamaica with its new Jamaican Style Beef Patties.
Jamaican beef patties are a staple in many parts of the Caribbean and consist of savory-seasoned ground beef encased in a flaky crust. Trader Joe's version is made by a supplier that is well-versed in the production of these flaky treats. First, the supplier starts with a rich, melt-in-your-mouth pastry crust, which has a yellow tinge thanks to the addition of turmeric. Then inside each pastry, you'll find tender ground beef seasoned with aromatic spices like curry powder, fenugreek, and cayenne. The result is a collection of hand pies that are perfect for a light meal or for a quick snack.
