- Whole Foods 365 Market Tzatziki
-
Whole Foods’ Tzatziki Sauce delivers a harmonious, well-rounded mix of garlic, cucumber, dill, and a splash of lemon—in fact, it would have been our #1 tzatziki sauce of all the brands we tried if not for one dark horse candidate that took us by surprise. Unlike thicker versions of tzatziki on the market, the 365 brand has a light texture that makes it very versatile. You can spread it on a pita, grilled meats, and even turn it into a salad dressing. Honestly, you can’t go wrong. —Ariana Losch

- Whole Foods 365 Organic Orange Extra Pulp

Oh, look, something besides condiments and sauces! See? I told you not all of the best things to buy at Whole Foods were dips or dressings. One of the other categories in which Whole Foods excels is beverages. And this juice is a prime example of that. Seriously, if you love pulp, you need this 365 brand orange juice. It’s frothy and just tangy enough to make it taste fresh squeezed. —Justine Sterling

Smooth, creamy, and perfect for everyday use, 365 brand oat milk is a lot like 2% milk, it just happens to be made with oats. Some oat milk is very oaty or very sweet, but this one is plain in the best way possible. It belongs on your weekly grocery list. —Justine Sterling

These 365 brand veggie egg rolls succeed where so many vegetable egg rolls have failed: They have actual texture inside with every bite. They aren’t just hot mush in your mouth.

- Whole Foods 365 Mozzarella Cheese Sticks
-
I’m not sure where we’re going wrong as a society, but it is ridiculously hard to find good frozen mozzarella cheese sticks. The 365 brand is one of the few lights at the end of the dark cheese stick tunnel. Their mozzarella cheese is quite creamy, deliciously fatty, and pulls apart like something out of an Olive Garden commercial. They could maybe use a little more salt and flavor nuance, but hey, that’s what marinara sauce is for. —Ariana Losch

- Whole Foods Market Whitefish Caviar
-
This caviar isn’t just good—it’s the best under $25 caviar we’ve ever had. It tastes expensive. The true fine dining experience you expect from caviar. The eggs have an elegant delicateness and stick together without gloop. (It’s pretty hard to find cheap caviar without the gloop, apparently.) It’s almost a little on the nose that Whole Foods would have the best caviar, if you ask me, but the proof is in the pearls. —Ariana Losch
