Trader Joe's Bamba Peanut Snacks - 3.5 oz

Bamba has been Israel's #1-selling snack since its 1964 launch, and this one is made in Israel by the original producer. Four ingredients — corn grits, peanut paste, palm oil, salt: the corn grits are 'popped' under high pressure into puffs, then coated in hot liquid peanut butter. The result is light and airy with rich peanut flavor — like a 'cheese puff without the cheese.'

The melt-in-your-mouth texture and salty peanut-butter flavor are addictive, easy to finish in one bag. Hard to find even in the US, so it's a good-value pickup at Trader Joe's.

• Straight as a snack — melt-in-mouth peanut puffs.
• An easy snack to share — soft and easy to eat.
• Dipped in chocolate — plunge in dark chocolate for sweet-salty.
• With beer — salty peanut flavor with a lager.
• During movies and shows — so light you keep going.

This one's a good fit if

• You love peanut butter flavor
• You enjoy a melting puff texture
• You want a simple-ingredient snack
• You want to try a famous international snack

Bamba is famous as Israel's national snack but has almost never been officially imported to Korea. Peanut-butter-coated puffed corn is itself an uncommon format here, and the four-ingredient simplicity is part of the appeal — a good entry to famous international snacks. (Those with peanut allergies should take care.)

Shipping is free on every order, with no minimum. There are no handling fees, no customs processing charges, and no hidden costs added at checkout. What you see is what you pay.

Orders are dispatched within 1 to 2 business days of purchase. A tracking number is sent to your email once your order is on its way.

Orders valued under USD 200 from the United States qualify for duty-free clearance under Korea's simplified customs scheme. In the unlikely event that any order encounters a customs issue, we will issue a full refund without question.

If you do not yet have a Personal Customs Clearance Code (PCCC), you can get one free of charge in under five minutes at unipass.customs.go.kr.

Is this authentic?

Yes. Every item is purchased directly from Trader Joe's stores in the US, inspected, and then shipped — 100% authentic.

Why can't I buy this in Korea?

Trader Joe's has no official stores or online shop in Korea. Their products are sold only in US stores, which is exactly what we bring to you through direct import.

What about the expiration date?

Because we purchase every item from the US only after you place your order, we ship products with plenty of shelf life remaining. The exact best-by date is printed on the package.
