Trader Joe's Edamame Hummus

Nathan Rodgers, his wife Sonia, and their friend Russ Shelly and his wife Sandy set out almost two years ago to review the cult grocer's some 4,500 products for their site What's Good at Trader Joe's?, and so far they've covered more than 300 products. While the reviewers are fans of Trader Joe's, they take reviewing seriously — their first review was even negative. Here's their process:

• They rate products on a scale of one to 10, 10 being the best.

• For any post, two people rate the product.

• Reviewers give their overall impression and up to five points each.

For Russ, Sonia, Shelly, and Sandy, Trader Joe's Edamame Hummus fell into the category of Unusual Finds. Noted Russ, "There's a lot you'll see at Trader Joe's that you just won't readily see somewhere else. Needless to say, there are more homeruns than strikeouts, so we're always on the lookout." Here's their take on the product:

Trader Joe's Edamame Hummus (8.5/10 points)

A unique take on the classic formula, the edamame hummus certainly tastes the part while retaining a smooth, creamy texture. It's even better when matched with the TJ Quinoa and Black Bean Infused Tortilla Chips, or perhaps Trader Joe's Falafel Chips. Read more about this product on What's Good at Trader Joe's?
