As many Whole Foods fans will attest to, shopping at the retailer’s stores can be a uniquely enjoyable experience. Inventory may vary quite a bit from store to store, and new things pop up daily, so you can often find surprises that may become some of your new favorites.

While Whole Foods sells a range of both well-known and under-the-radar brands—with some products only available in certain geographic regions or for a limited time—the company also has its own in-house brand, 365 Everyday Value, which encompasses hundreds of products across a wide range of categories from chicken to cereal.

Here are some of the items you must try at Whole Foods.
