By Haley Lyndes

Trader Joe's holds a special place in my and many others' hearts — it's affordable, delicious, and one of a kind. But even the most dedicated Trader Joe's shopper might miss out on a good item or two, and for that, we present you TikTok user (and current Trader Joe's employee) @TraderTrav. His series, "Underrated Items at Trader Joe's Employee Edition," lets us in on the least bought Trader Joe's food items that deserve more hype, and uh, I can't believe the cauliflower pancakes are on there? The truth is, the store sells so many unique things that it's easy to breeze by something truly delicious (like pancake bread), but let that end today.
