Restocking Your Kitchen with Paleo

Staples

When most of us think about stocking the pantry, we
imagine loading it up with staples that won’t spoil. This bias
comes from an earlier era, before refrigeration, when it was
necessary to keep large supplies of flour, sugar, dried rice,
beans, and canned goods on hand. Fresh fruits and
vegetables were seasonal luxuries, not staples.
Refrigeration and international air travel have now made it
possible to eat our ancestral diet no matter where we live.

Once you have purged your shelves of your former
staples, you will be amazed at the amount of shelf space
that is freed up. You have now successfully completed the
first step in your kitchen’s Paleo makeover and are ready to
begin the fun process of stocking up on the true necessities
for Paleo cooking.
