Aldi

There were so many solid freezer finds at Aldi it was almost too hard to narrow it down, but we did! Here are our top 5 picks from this year, including wild ...

[Deutsche Küche Bavarian Soft Pretzels](https://www.thekitchn.com/best-aldi-groceries-chef-samantha-allonce-23270667) are what you need. “The German selections are some of my favorite things to snack on,” says private chef [Samantha Davis-Allonce](https://www.instagram.com/savorbysam/). Just pack the sushi in the kiddo’s (or your) lunch box in the morning and it will be thawed and ready to eat by lunchtime. While locally grown sweet corn husked at home is awesome in the peak summer season, you can rely on frozen corn year-round. [frozen corn](https://www.thekitchn.com/aldi-seasons-choice-steamed-super-sweet-corn-review-23393898) is unmatched. It’s also beautiful in a bowl of mixed greens or in a warm corn pudding or skillet cornbread. [ready-made frozen sushi](https://www.thekitchn.com/aldi-frozen-sushi-review-23432937) rolls are a revelation for school lunches. Needless to say, the competition for the year’s best freezer finds is fierce and, as judges, not a responsibility we take likely. These are best new frozen groceries we bought at Aldi in 2022. They start out fairly large, but shrink down perfectly to bun-size while cooking, and are juicy without being greasy or drippy. Use it to make quick and easy poke bowls, sushi rolls, or grilled tuna. [tuna steaks](https://www.thekitchn.com/aldi-specially-selected-wild-caught-ahi-tuna-steaks-review-23409621), which are $5.95 for three, are the perfect just-slightly-outside-the-box option.
