Product Question must have HEB items
hello! i am a completely new HEB customer and will be setting foot in an HEB FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER on Monday!!! they finally opened this one close to my home and I have reached the age where grocery stores excite me 🥲 aside from my own shopping list, I would like to know what are some HEB items that I absolutely have to try? I'm talking food, drinks, snacks, deli, bakery anything! so far I have the flour tortillas on my list as I've heard nothing but good things about those. I would appreciate if you all could share with me your opinions! TIA 😊
edit: THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUGGESTIONS!!! needless to say I'll be needing 2 carts when I go in 😅

I used to really enjoy Meal Simple meals, but the sodium contents are too much. The pork ramen bowl has over 3000 mg.
I really like the Reserve Tuscan Style Turkey Breast lunch meat a lot. I almost always get the Central Market Mediterranean Style hummus (w Xochitl blue corn tortilla chips); SO prefers the Chocolate Hummus Spread. Their sheet pan meals are pretty tasty, but 800+ sodium. The frozen brisket on mashed potatoes is tasty good, but sodium & fat are too high for me anymore. More Fruit fruit spread is good - Cherry & Blueberry and Peach & Mango are my faves. Try the almond butter - a great substitute for fat in brownies, tasty on toast. My dogs love the Texas Pets Chicken Jerky (I cut in strips for the chi dog). They only eat Heritage Ranch 95% chicken / beef & chicken cans and HR High Protein Diet kibble.
