Just like ordinary tater tots, Trader Joe's new Organic Veggie Bites are [bite-sized nuggets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tater-cheezz-nuggets) that are sold frozen and can be cooked in minutes. However, these new tots aren't made from the usual blend of potatoes; rather, "they're "made from a multitudinous mix of organic vegetables, including carrots, onions, kale, sweet potatoes, broccoli, celery, and tomatoes, along with a bit of organic brown rice flour and dotted with crunchy sunflower seeds." The result is a versatile and quick dinner option packed with a nutritious punch. Trader Joe's even notes that they make a great option for [vegan meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gosh-veg-bites) because the Organic Veggie Bites are both gluten-free and vegan-friendly.
