PENNSYLVANIA - When it comes to cult-favorite grocery store Trader Joe's, shoppers often have their go-to items they can't live without. While nationally, a sweet treat often tops the list, it appears Pennsylvanians have a particular fondness for a breakfast classic.
According to recent insights, the most popular Trader Joe's item in Pennsylvania is frozen hashbrowns. This breakfast staple has captured the hearts and shopping carts of Keystone State residents.
This preference marks a delicious deviation from the national trend. Across the United States, the most popular Trader Joe's item is often cited as their Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups. However, in Pennsylvania, it seems the convenience and appeal of a perfectly crispy, golden hashbrown win out, highlighting a regional preference for these frozen breakfast staples.
While the exact reasons for this specific Pennsylvanian preference weren't detailed, one can speculate that the versatility and ease of preparing frozen hashbrowns make them a popular choice for busy mornings or as a comforting side dish. They offer a quick and satisfying way to round out a breakfast or brunch.
Of course, Trader Joe's is beloved for a wide array of unique and affordable products, from its "Everything but the Bagel" seasoning to its diverse selection of cheeses and snacks. But for now, in Pennsylvania, the humble frozen hashbrown appears to reign supreme.
