# Dessert Spring Rolls Trader Joe's Mango & Sticky Rice Spring Rolls Blend an Appetizer and Dessert By Joey Haar | Published 2017-08-25 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mango-sticky-rice References: [refinery29](http://www.refinery29.com/2017/08/169477/trader-joes-mango-sticky-rice-spring-rolls) & [traderjoes](https://www.traderjoes.com/digin/post/mango-sticky-rice-spring-rolls) In Thai cuisine, spring rolls are a classic appetizer and mango-flavored sticky rice a palate-cleanser and dessert, but [Trader Joe's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spring-roll-with-tofu) Mango & Sticky Rice Spring Rolls bridge the space between those two disparate ends of the meal. The [flaky, golden spring rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/springroll) are filled with sweet and succulent Nam Dok Mai mango and sticky rice, combining the convenient finger food with the tasty Thai dessert. In Thai culture, spring rolls symbolize wealth because of their resemblance to gold bars. Nonetheless, the Trader Joe's take is affordable, at $2.99 per box (or the equivalent of about 60 cents per spring roll.) The Mango & Sticky Rice Spring Rolls come frozen in boxes of five. To prepare, bake them for about ten minutes or pan fry them until crispy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Fusion Foods:** The fusion of different cuisines and flavors presents opportunities for companies to create unique food combinations that cater to different taste buds. - **Convenient Desserts:** The creation of desserts that are easy to prepare and can stand alone as a snack or complement to a meal can appeal to busy consumers who seek quick and satisfying treats. - **Affordable Luxury:** Creating affordable versions of luxury dishes can attract consumers looking for a taste of luxury without breaking the bank. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Companies in the food and beverage industry can explore the fusion of different cuisines and creation of convenient desserts to cater to diverse consumer preferences. - **Retail:** Retail companies can partner with food manufacturers to provide affordable luxury dishes to consumers seeking an indulgent experience on a budget. - **Hospitality:** Hotels and restaurants can incorporate fusion foods into their menus to offer unique dining experiences and attract a broader clientele. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pre-made Tofu Spring Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spring-roll-with-tofu.md) - [Hawaiian-Style Spring Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kalua-pork-spring-rolls.md) - [Frozen Mango Mochis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trader-joes-mango-mochi.md) - [Flavorful Basil-Infused Appetizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summ-thai-basil-chicken.md) - [Thai-Style Banana Fritters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thai-banana-fritters.md) - [Cream-Filled Mango Popsicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mango-cream-bars.md) - [Frozen Caramel Apple Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caramel-apple-mochi.md) - [Authentic Thai Pancakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thai-coconut-pancakes.md) - [Thai Coconut-Rice Pancakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kanom-krok-thai-coconut-pancakes.md)
