 ESSENTIAL CLEAN
PANTRY LIST
Shopping the perimeter of the grocery store, where you’ll find produce and fresh meats, is ideal
for the majority of your foods, but add spices and some pantry items to your arsenal for cooking up tasty
dishes, and have some pantry items on hand for when you need to make a meal in a pinch. Note that,
although they’re considered “pantry items,” some of these foods need to be refrigerated.
