Trader Joe’s latest seasonal find has fans buzzing—have you spotted it yet?

If there’s one thing we know about Trader Joe’s, it’s that they have a knack for turning everyday grocery shopping into a treasure hunt.

From the cult-favorite Everything But the Bagel Seasoning to the infamous Cookie Butter, TJ’s has a way of making us fall in love with products we never knew we needed.

But every so often, a new item comes along that sends the fanbase into a full-blown frenzy—and this spring, it’s the Organic Guava Fruit Spread that’s got everyone talking (and, apparently, hoarding jars like it’s the last guava harvest on earth).


You might think, "Guava? Isn’t that the stuff in tropical cocktails and vacation smoothies?"

But trust us, this is no ordinary fruit spread.

According to Trader Joe’s, it’s made with organically grown guavas from Brazil, picked at their absolute peak, then blended with organic cane sugar and fruit pectin for a thick, tangy, and sweet spread that’s basically sunshine in a jar.

And the fans? They’re not just pleased—they’re ecstatic.

One enthusiastic social media user declared, "I wanna bathe in that guava spread."

Another raved, "It’s so d--n good," while another commenter gave it a "100/10" and called it a "flavor bomb."

If you’re someone who’s tired of spreads that taste like watered-down fruit, this one’s for you.

It’s bold, it’s bright, and it’s bursting with tropical flavor.

But here’s the catch: This is a limited-time, seasonal item. Some stores are already running low, and others might not have it for long. If you spot it, don’t hesitate—grab a jar (or three) before it disappears like last year’s Patio Potato Chips!

How to use Trader Joe’s Organic Guava Fruit Spread (beyond just toast)

Sure, you could just eat it by the spoonful (no judgment here), but the real fun is in getting creative.

Fans have been sharing their favorite ways to enjoy this tropical treat, and the possibilities are as endless as your imagination:

  • Cheese board star: Smear it over a toasted ciabatta baguette with a slice of melted brie for a snack that’s crunchy, creamy, salty, and sweet all at once. It’s a match made in appetizer heaven.
  • Tea time upgrade: Stir a spoonful into your iced black tea for a fruity, tangy twist that’ll transport you straight to a breezy veranda in Rio.
  • Baking buddy: Swirl it into homemade cheesecake batter or use it as a filling for vegan pop-tarts. The tartness of the guava pairs beautifully with creamy desserts.
  • Breakfast hero: Dollop it on pancakes, waffles, or Greek yogurt for a morning pick-me-up that’ll make you forget all about plain old strawberry jam.
  • Tropical PB&J: Swap out your usual grape jelly for guava spread in a peanut butter sandwich. Trust us, your taste buds will thank you.
And if you’re feeling adventurous, try it as a glaze for grilled chicken or pork, or even as a topping for vanilla ice cream. The sweet-tart flavor is surprisingly versatile!

Why guava? A little tropical context

For those who haven’t spent much time in the tropics, guava might seem like an exotic newcomer.

But in many cultures, guava is a staple—enjoyed fresh, juiced, or preserved in jams and jellies.

It’s packed with vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, making it as nutritious as it is delicious.

The fruit’s unique flavor—somewhere between a strawberry and a pear, with a hint of citrus—makes it a natural fit for both sweet and savory dishes.

Trader Joe’s has a history of introducing American shoppers to global flavors, and this guava spread is a perfect example.

It’s a little taste of Brazil, right in your own kitchen.

The hunt is on—don’t miss out!


If you’re already a guava devotee, you know how rare it is to find a high-quality, organic guava spread in the US.

And if you’re new to the fruit, this is the perfect way to dip your toes (or, well, your toast) into tropical waters.

But remember, this is a seasonal item—so if you see it, don’t wait!
