Trader Joe’s Peach Salsa

Trader Joe’s Smoky Peach Salsa was a surprisingly addictive sweet-heat condiment with a smoky depth that made it work on everything from chips to chicken, and it built a loyal fan base that still misses it. Its discontinuation feels like classic Trader Joe’s—great, unique item that didn’t last long enough.
