Whole Foods employees and loyal customers reveal their 50 favorite items

 

• Shoppers flock to Whole Foods for a number of products.
• Whether it’s for quality produce or its ever-growing cheese section, the chain continues to bring customers in.
• INSIDER went around to Whole Foods locations and asked real Whole Foods employees and customers what their favorite product is.

While many people head to Whole Foods for its produce and ever-growing cheese section, regulars and employees know the ins-and-outs of the grocery store and its wide variety of items.  

INSIDER asked customers and employees via Twitter, Instagram, and in person at various stores what their favorite products were. It’s worth noting that some of these items, specifically from the hot bar, are particular to its region and not available at all Whole Foods locations.

Here are 50 of their favorite items.

Customer Kelly told INSIDER that the broccoli crunch salad, found in the food bar area, is one of her favorite things to buy at Whole Foods.

"I’m actually not vegan, but I am allergic to dairy. I love it because you can’t find something like this [elsewhere]. And it’s just as good!"

Claudio, who just started working at Whole Foods, loves the coffee that’s brewed at the in-store coffee bar.
