I had that ginger powder. I used it by stirring it into my applesauce 'just because its good for you'. I will not buy it again. When I'm sick I blend fresh grated ginger in the blender/water and drink it that way. I think you get more benefits from fresh. Love the date/chocolate/coconut brownie bar idea. Yummy!

As a rule we don't have sweets in the home and even dates in cooking are very limited. Fresh fruit or banana ice cream made with the Vitamix are our sweets of choice.
Thanks for reading the ingredients in the dressing. I hope TJ’s has it next time I go and the jicama wraps. Use some soy curls with taco seasoning. I cook the soy curls with the taco seasoning in the instant pot on slow cooking set to high for 4hrs and delish! Just like chicken tacos
Ginger is really good for digestion, I chew the candies when I have an upset stomach or nausea. I've heard it's good for the body to have some warm lemon water with ginger first thing in the morning. It is good for digestion on an empty stomach. I bet you guys could use that ginger powder really creatively in some cooked recipes! I love that all of these products are so simple, with straightforward ingredients, no additives🙌
Ginger is also helpful with coughs and congestion. Tastier than the other old Russian cough/sore throat cure recommended by an old Russian editor during a project: a teaspoon of horseradish (in a simple sauce ok) several times a day. I use slices of crystallized ginger or those ginger candies by The Ginger People or Chimes, but the powdered drink mixes would be nice to have on hand.
Okay, you convinced me! I rarely go to Trader Joes, but the Jicama Wrap and the Spicy Cashew Butter Dressing compelled me to take the trip! I made a vegetable wrap with the dressing for dinner tonight. Next, I will try it with pinto beans, veggies, avocado, and taco sauce. Maybe tonight!! I certainly have been eating way more plant-based since I've tuned into your channel. Keep up the good work!!
I thought the jicama wraps were refreshing as a taco shell. The cashier said they can get slimy quickly after you open them. I ate them quickly so not sure about that. Will get them again for sure.
I really like the sound of the jicama wraps. That way I could use rice in the stuffing, which is nice but kind of superfluous when the wrap is 99% carbs already.
I would assume the jicama shells could easily be frozen. You could just put something between each wrap to keep them from fusing together. Maybe plastic or parchment paper? Never have tried parchment paper for that (haven't had great experience with wax paper for this), but I use plastic to separate vegan deli slices and cheese slices and bread slices/rolls/bun or bagel halves and such for freezing. The plastic can be reused. I do this especially for gluten free bread stuffs since they go bad quickly after the package is opened. But wheat breads have the same problem for me since I don't eat wheat all the time, so I do it for them also. You can lightly warm the frozen pieces in an oven (I use a little toaster/convection oven)or maybe a microwave or just wait a bit for them to thaw, whichever works best.
We need to take a trip to Trader Joe's. My mom used to eat jicama in the 1970's. I love milk chocolate but am very allergic to dairy so the almond beverage bar sounds fantastic.
Great show. I have watched a couple shows already. I found you by watching The Whole Food Plant Based Cooking Show. I have been a fan of WFPB Show For over a year, and loved the interview that was done. Thanks for all the good ideas, your show is definitely the "icing on the cake".
I really adore both of you, but for some reason, I feel like I could watch Brian eat all day long! There is something very satisfying about his mastication..... Love all of your vids, thank you!
I ❤️ the Ginger Drink..., straight up with hot water. Every time I go I buy several in case they discontinue, lol. There are a few things it claims to help with, including lowering cholesterol and protection from Alzheimer’s....drink up
I wish we had it in Hawaii! All i have for my vegan weightloss journey I’m documenting on my Y T channel is whole foods and Hawaiian local markets 🌺 but thanks for sharing those! Maybe when i go visit the mainland ☺️
Definitely! The only difficulty is having a mandolin or something big enough to slice it thinly. It would be really tricky with a knife. It would be awfully easy with a meat deli slicer!
I drink ginger peach tea especially when my stomach is upset or I'm having anxiety. It helps calm things down. Plus I do love fresh ginger in my green smoothies.
Love the spicy cashew dressing--nice idea for a slaw dressing. I bought jicama wraps once and didn't figure out how to use them before they spoiled, but I'm thinking they would be a great way to reduce the calories in the mexican lasagna I love to make--just alternate jicama with corn tortillas.
The last Trader Joe haul video, I made a list...I waited to visit a friend, who lives near one. Closest trader Joes, is over an hour away. Stinks, the further rural you get, the more scarce vegan products become. I think I will add a few of these products to my list.
You know I really like the way that jicama looks. I make a lot of Asian meals. I think they would be great added to those meals? I’m kind of not real happy with the whole water chestnut bamboo shoot coming from China right now. This might be a really nice replacement in a couple meals that I have? TY
I'd definitely look into the date bars for travelling. When I'm out of town I always freak out and think I'm going to starve to death so I pack stuff like that 🤣. Spoiler alert, I haven't starved to death yet 😁
The 100% ginger drink helps my husband with his sinuses. He says it tastes like "the devil's piss" (or what you can imagine it to taste like, lol) sorry to be so crass, lol, but I've been softening/mellowing out the spice with some honey & lemon for him. Much more palatable that way. I'd also blend it with a date & water. Trying out the jicama wraps tonight! I'm thinking (hoping!) it serves as a good summer lunch or dinner taco.
We tried the Jicama Wraps and we didn't think they were worth the $. Also, please post videos of more compliant food other than the chocolate bars etc. Thank you.
Brian said don't keep chocolate in the house if you are a chocolate lover (addict). well Jessica said she is a chocolate lover she has had problems before I think she needs some help with remembering her addiction or maybe not she wants this ride have a blast but don't be complaining later
I wish I had a Trader Joe’s near me. The closest one is 45 minutes away. Maybe I should make the trip!! I have heard so many wonderful things about the store!

Ginger is antiinflammatory, helps RA and helps boost your immune system, where as RA patients have a problem with their immune system.

I miss Trader Joe’s so much. It’s on the list of things I would move back to the US for 😂❤️ So happy to see how excited Jessica is!
Totally feel the same way. It's my happy place.
I miss Trader Joe’s, as well. At least I have Hofer’s (Aldi) in Austria.
Hummus, cucumbers, onions, tomato and olives on the jicama shells.

Peef and his cornucopia of Peef sized squash ❤️.
😍😍😍
Powdered ginger, turmeric, curry spices and steamed kale mixed into the morning oatmeal. It's a tradition at this point. Highly recommend.

That Taco is like a “free food”. Great find!
Very inspirational couple. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thank you for watching! 😀

Trader Joe’s has a great turmeric ginger tea.
They do! I absolutely love the powdered ginger drink. Spicy drink. That has replaced coffee for me. I have 1 or 2 of those every morning.
the wraps are excellent. fill with anything and yum.
The powdered ginger drink, if you served it hot, you could dissolve a chopped date in it for sweeter.

OK, now we need an Oliver special :) Oliver bloopers reel :)

They definitely do get slimy. Eat them within a few days of opening the package 😊

I can only eat a little bit of chocolate. I understand how Brian feels
I ❤️ the Ginger Drink..., straight up with hot water. Every time I go I buy several in case they discontinue, lol. There are a few things it claims to help with, including lowering cholesterol and protection from Alzheimer’s....drink up
Thanks for sharing your sharing 😀
Jessica you’re like me. Whenever I’m going through a bad period I can’t read or do math. I’ll announce to my husband “oh no can’t do math”! 😂
I would rather take a fresh piece of ginger and make Ginger tea. You two are cute together.
I wish we had it in Hawaii! All i have for my vegan weightloss journey I’m documenting on my Y T channel is whole foods and Hawaiian local markets 🌺 but thanks for sharing those! Maybe when i go visit the mainland ☺️
Oh, I love that cashew dressing. I saw that they now have some "turkey" burgers. I want to try them, I'm more into that flavor than beef.
Honey and ginger are wonderful together ! Good for your circulation also ❤❤❤
The ginger juice powder was strong and spicy
I just had a ginger and lemon hot beverage at a cafe here in Vienna, Austria. Yummy in my tummy...and good for my tummy!
Ooo, I'd use that ginger in warm milk or milk substitute, maybe with a little touch of honey or other sweetener.
Jessica, I swear you have the best smile!
I just left TJ's in OKC... Wished I'd seen this video first. Definitely wanna try the jicama wraps
Brian, I was wondering couldn't you cut the Jicama yourself?
Definitely! The only difficulty is having a mandolin or something big enough to slice it thinly. It would be really tricky with a knife. It would be awfully easy with a meat deli slicer!
It's not clear to me what form of spray drying is used. It looks like there might be a chemical/gas of unknown effect used to dry the ginger slurry?
I’m going to try the ginger powder next time I’m at Trader Joe’s. Ginger helps when I get migraines.
I drink ginger peach tea especially when my stomach is upset or I'm having anxiety. It helps calm things down. Plus I do love fresh ginger in my green smoothies.

The ginger powder might be good with recipes that include fall spices- cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, etc. Yummy cookies, cakes, etc!
I love Ginger beer, but that just has too much sugar. There is no substitution for it. You guys look fantastic.
Jessica, I would add a little of the ginger to an existing tea.
Ginger has been proven to be a great pain reliever! Is tested even better than drug store pain killers.
Thank u! Love the Krocks!
Have you ever used tea as your water in oatmeal ? It really adds another layer to your oats. U gotta try it.
I love taste tests. Great job!
You know I really like the way that jicama looks. I make a lot of Asian meals. I think they would be great added to those meals? I’m kind of not real happy with the whole water chestnut bamboo shoot coming from China right now. This might be a really nice replacement in a couple meals that I have? TY
Can you eat the jicama wraps warmed, like from a skillet or are they eaten cold.
I love Oliver!
Use the ginger drink mix in a soup base
Ginger powder would travel well.
But why so many calories if it's just ginger? I thought ginger was low on calories.
Normal ginger has 9 calories for 11g. I would assume a lot of that is water weight. So a packet must be at least 6-7 servings of ginger.
Hi did you warm the jicama tortillas? If I had an air fryer I would try that out, it may make it more like a Tostada but I wouldn't mind that! 😊
I'd definitely look into the date bars for travelling. When I'm out of town I always freak out and think I'm going to starve to death so I pack stuff like that 🤣. Spoiler alert, I haven't starved to death yet 😁
Love the reviews.
Thanks!
Thx for the videos!
Low carbs only 1 carb after the fiber. Heated yum!!!!
Chocoholic here. I didn’t like the almond beverage bar though. Much much prefer the bittersweet stuff.
Happy Hallowpeef!!
Love jicama!

Where is the cashew butter dressing located in the store-refrigerator area ? I am addicted to their turmeric ginger tea
Ginger is good for inflammation, similar to turmeric, also keeps the cancer ish away :)
Have you tried their unsweetened choc chips?
Well edited video Brian!
Thank you very much! I appreciate it. 😀
I really need to get to a Trader Joe's!
I love that dressing. I mix it into lots of dishes. Really good in chili.
I've never been to a Trader Joe's. We don't have those in Argentina 🥺. I'm also a chocoholic like Jessica🍫❤️😋
UA-cam is running a spam ad in the middle of your video!!
So... would jicama be considered a starch?
Yes, it is a starchy root vegetable like potatoes or turnips. 🙂
Have you ever done walnut taco meat? Good and simple
Brian said don't keep chocolate in the house if you are a chocolate lover (addict). well Jessica said she is a chocolate lover she has had problems before I think she needs some help with remembering her addiction or maybe not she wants this ride have a blast but don't be complaining later
Cute video!
Ginger is great for nausea and headaches, even migraines. I heard that from Dr. Michael Greger.
I feel like Jessica is on her way back down the rabbit hole with all this junk food🤷♀️
This one was filmed during the rabbit hole. 🤣 We filmed ahead quite a bit. 🙂
Glad to know it’s not a second rabbit hole❤️❤️
Straight ginger GIVES me a stomachache.
A little Honey in your Hot Ginger drink might be good. 🍯
I wish I had a Trader Joe’s near me. The closest one is 45 minutes away. Maybe I should make the trip!! I have heard so many wonderful things about the store!
I have never tried jicama.
Do you guys exercise?
We can hear you crunch through the video!
Ginger controls your appetite
Basically vegan junk food except for the jicama wraps. I would just buy fresh ginger.
It's NOT unbearable! #Jessicaishilarious
🙌🙏👏👏👊💪🌱♥️
Dates Ginger dressing all too much sugar ouch
