Updated Mar 18, 2020 If you’re making the switch to a healthy diet, one of the first areas that needs a little spring cleaning (no matter what time of year!) is your pantry. Unlike your refrigerator where you’re constantly throwing out expired food, your pantry becomes a barren wasteland of accumulated ingredients. A random assortment of one-hit wonders, purchased for some special dish that you made over 10 years ago – right? Well, it’s time to purge my friends! You need to make room for ingredients you’ll actually use that are nurturing for your body. When I first went gluten-free, then Paleo, I did a massive purge of my pantry. I said goodbye to bags of flour, sauces, munchies and condiments I knew I’d never eat again. And while it’s human nature to cringe a little at throwing out seemingly edible ingredients and thinking “but I paid $8 for that” – the upside is your health, which is far more valuable. So start tossing expired, unhealthy, sugary, glutenous ingredients. You need to make room for these 10 Paleo pantry essentials. It was so hard to keep this list to 10 essentials! What would you consider in your top 10 Paleo pantry list?
