    I recently tried the two new flavors of gelato at Trader Joe's: fresh ginger and green tea. I can't attest to its authenticity as a gelato, but the flavor on both are so good! The fresh ginger is so refreshing, and the ginger bits are just right. Sometimes, I have found ginger flavored food/drinks to be either too weak or too strong. The green tea flavor is so smooth and rich. I really do not like the green tea ice cream mochi so I was skeptical at first, but this gelato was so much better in taste. Just thought I'd share my new find...

    zim,
    thanks for the tip. I will definitely have to try. I checked out their website, and didn't see this flavor listed though. Is it a regular?

    it is at the skokie location, though my favorite flavors there are the passionfruit (rarely available) the macupono and the pomelo sorbet (these two are almost always available)

    What's a macupono? BTW, the passionfruit ice at Anthony's on Southport is worth seeking out.

    MACAPUNO - is the tagalog (filipino) word for used for a coconut-like fruit. (Niyog is the actual tagalog term for coconut.) It looks just like a coconut, but it's actually a little different. The macapuno fruit is a little bigger than a regular coconut and the meat is softer.
