Trader Joe's seems to have done the impossible and put a whole new twist on the humble crouton with the debut of its new Rosemary Croissant Croutons.
Traditionally, croutons are made from a standard, often stale, loaf of bread. However, Trader Joe's new Rosemary Croissant Croutons are not just made with any old loaf. Instead, these croutons are made from buttery, flaky, multi-layered croissants. This delicious texture is then enhanced with the addition of rosemary. As Trader Joe's puts it, "The buttery, laminated nature of the dough they’re made from results in a remarkably resounding crunch. The satisfyingly savory flavor of the rosemary synergizes spectacularly with everything."
Whether you enjoy them on top of your favorite soup or by the handful, the new Rosemary Croissant Croutons make an excellent addition to any pantry.
