00:00Hey guys, I'm Mig. And I'm Clara from spot.ph. And we're sharing with you some of

00:05the underrated grocery finds that you should know about. Along with the other

00:08spot editors, we've been going to some local grocery stores in search of items

00:12we know you'll enjoy but might not be on your radar yet. So now that we have that

00:15list, let's go shopping.

00:22We have our grocery items here in the studio. And again, we got items from two

00:27different categories, which are summer and imported.

00:32We're starting with our first summer item from Joel's Place. It's the Malagos

00:36farmhouse cheese, the saquilla cheese. Which we are faring with Gardenia's

00:43multigrain sourdough bread. Now the reason why we like this is actually the cheese

00:47itself, surprisingly, really, really good. A good spread. I actually, I also like it on

00:54crackers. Or on its own. People are going to judge me for how you do that.

00:59Cheers! Cheers!

01:03My problem with multigrain bread is that a lot of it in the market is either rough or weird

01:12in texture or grainy, but not this bread. It's soft. I enjoy eating the crust, which is

01:17something to be said about this bread. And pair it with this cheese from Sofia. It's like

01:23the nice blend of creamy and tangy. And together, it's just a party, you know?

01:28And it's easy, you know? You just take the spread, put it on the bread, and it's good.

01:32Yeah.

01:35Next up, we have seaweed saltines.

01:37From Meadows. So these are actually individually wrapped. So you get about three or four per package.

01:46Let's talk about texture. Because I really, really love the crunch on this one. You know

01:50how when you open a bag of crackers and they're just sad and chewy? Not this one. It's great.

01:55I love that they're individually packed, so I don't have to commit to the whole thing.

01:58But let's talk about the seaweed taste and the salt on this. It's subtle. The seaweed is forward.

02:04It's great. You can eat it on its own or pair it with other cheeses.

02:10Red Bull green. But really, this is Red Bull soda energy drink and the apple muscat grape flavor.

02:16Now look, I don't like Red Bull. I don't drink Red Bull. But exceptions can be made for this one.

02:22It's really good. Let's open it.

02:25Now when we were looking for items, I didn't expect a Red Bull to show up on our list.

02:29Because everyone knows what Red Bull tastes like. Normal Red Bull tastes like.

02:33But this is something different that I was excited for.

02:38And the sweetness of the apple grape flavor. The apple grape flavor really comes out.

02:45And mixes well with the Red Bull. I don't think it tastes like regular Red Bull anymore.

02:50Honestly, it really tastes like a good carbonated apple grape drink. And it's zero sugar.

02:57For those not-incarbonated drinks, we have banana milk and strawberry milk from Selecta.

03:03We know it looks a lot like the banana milk you see in Kmarts or in groceries.

03:08But this is actually locally made because it's by Selecta.

03:10It's a good source of calcium and contains B vitamins.

03:14I'll have strawberry.

03:15And I'll have the banana flavored.

03:17Okay.

03:18Give it a shake.

03:20It brings me back to being a child. Every time I have straws like this.

03:23Like you're going to eat with a tetra powder.

03:26It's giving recess.

03:27Like I wish I had this as a kid, you know.

03:29It would have sucked if it didn't function.

03:34If you're into banana candies, any kind of banana candies, gummies or banana flavored jelly beans.

03:42This is what you get in, but smoother as milk.

03:46You know, smooth as milk.

03:48Guys, it's strawberry milk but less sweet.

03:51That's the best way I can compliment this drink because it's not overly fake.

03:55You know how some drinks or some candies have that strong fake strawberry flavor?

04:00Not this one.

04:01It's definitely more on the milky and creamier side, which is great.

04:05And I'm just glad we have a local alternative.

04:09We have another drink.

04:11This one is culture pop soda in strawberry and rhubarb.

04:16So the difference between this and like your usual soda is that it's probiotic.

04:21So it's good for your gut.

04:23Fizzy, juicy, tangy, tarty, and gutsy.

04:27You can have that.

04:28I'll have my fancy glass.

04:30Okay.

04:34That's good.

04:35They're right about the fizzy, juicy, tangy, tarty, and gutsy.

04:39I like how it's not as sugary.

04:42The taste and flavor is a little more subtle.

04:44But you can definitely taste the strawberry and rhubarb.

04:47Which, they're flavors that I don't really see with the usual sugary soda drinks.

04:53So for our next item, we have a chocolate item.

04:56Milk chocolate with sea salt.

04:58Yes.

04:59This is from the brand Waitrose.

05:01Let's go.

05:02I'm a sucker for sea salt.

05:08And this, it really comes out in the chocolate here.

05:12Of course, the milk chocolate is still the star of the show.

05:15But the little bit of crunch that you get once in a while from the sea salt.

05:21Really good.

05:22So this actually has like tiny wafers.

05:25We do not know how to pronounce it, but we will try.

05:28They're called bulletins.

05:30So it's crushed up.

05:31So it's, there's actually just some crunch to it.

05:34Smooth, creamy, sweet, but with that added crunch and then that dash of salt.

05:40Really good contrast.

05:41Next item is ice cream from local brand Pinkerton in the flavor Dulce de Leche.

05:50Okay, so the most.

05:51The epitome of summer items, I think, first to come to mind is always ice cream.

05:55So we had to have this on the list.

05:56We were shopping and then we were like, oh, we have to include ice cream on this list no matter what.

06:01And we chose the best option, I think.

06:03Okay, you get a scoop and I will get mine.

06:07It's kind of like an ice cream sort of leche plant.

06:12That's exactly why I chose it.

06:14It's really good.

06:16There's a saltiness to it.

06:18Of course, sweet Dulce de Leche.

06:21It has this almost caramel like roasted flavor.

06:26They really get ice cream right.

06:28It's not super airy.

06:29It doesn't taste fatty.

06:30It's just really good milky ice cream.

06:35Next, for a healthy snack, we have Banana Crunch from Greg's Banana Cake.

06:42Looks like this.

06:44It's vegan, no sugar added, and gluten free.

06:47So from the get-go, it looks a lot like if banana were made into chicharron.

06:52Listen to that crunch.

06:58So good.

07:01No, it's fun because it almost feels like a chicharron but not as tough.

07:07But the taste is very sweet.

07:09There's a bit of toasted flavor to it.

07:12It resembles the taste of maruya, if you've had that.

07:16Or maybe like banana cube.

07:18It has this caramelized sugar taste.

07:22That's what I'm looking for.

07:23That you wouldn't really get from a regular banana chip.

07:26Because banana chips are thin, but this one almost feels like it's freeze-dried.

07:30It's puffier, like a crunch.

07:34Next up, we have Snack Club's Tajin Pineapple Rings.

07:38So it's a mix of sweet and spicy.

07:41So this is what it looks like inside.

07:43It's like a pineapple jelly ring.

07:46With Tajin all around it.

07:48Sprinkling.

07:49Tajin is the spice, right?

07:53Yeah.

07:54Cheers.

07:55Cheers right in there.

07:58So there's actually chili and lime seasoning.

08:01And the pineapple gummy is so sweet.

08:04But it gets cancelled out by the lime and the spice.

08:07Yeah, I was gonna say.

08:08What I like about it is there are three sort of aspects that I can taste right now.

08:14The first is definitely the pineapple.

08:16The sweet is coming through very...

08:19It punches through everything else.

08:20But there's a small kick of spice that I really like.

08:24Not overpowering, but you can feel it there.

08:27This little bite of it.

08:28And the sort of tang from the lime really brings it all together.

08:32And really a good flavor, I think.

08:37Our next item is the truffle-flavored prawn crackers.

08:41From Meadows.

08:44So if you love prawn crackers and truffle-flavored things separately, then this will be perfect for you.

08:51This tastes like your average, your usual prawn cracker.

08:56But the subtle aftertaste of truffle, it's barely there.

09:01But after a bit, it starts kicking.

09:04When we first saw this, I was thinking, no way it's gonna work.

09:07Because prawn has a strong flavor.

09:09And truffle also has a strong flavor in the right amounts.

09:13Surprisingly, they don't fight each other.

09:15They work together.

09:16Which is pretty cool to see and taste in a snack.

09:19Because I keep thinking it's not gonna work out.

09:21But it does.

09:22And I'm like on my sixth one.

09:24So...

09:25Taking that away from her before she finishes the whole bag.

09:28I'll just go back to the banana crunch.

09:30These are just some of the items on our grocery list.
