2020 Pantry Essentials

Are you finding your pantry a bit paltry? Is your collection of staples marginal? A well-stocked pantry can be your best friend and maybe even the spark you need to inspire your meal prep during the cold winter months.

It’ll also come in handy at a time when fresh ingredients are priced at a premium. You’ll need shelf-stable items to keep costs in check.

In our Pantry 2020 listings, the focus is on primarily vegan, shelf-stable ingredients (with a few noted exceptions). We stock our pantry with essential dried ingredients that can star in any healthy vegan meal. For sure, grains and dried lentils are familiar pantry standbys, but a carefully thought-out pantry can have so much more to offer.

Check out our Pantry 2020 list. It’s extensive, but by adding some of these basic items to your shelves, you’ll always be ready to expand your meal ticket. Get stocked—and get ready—to enjoy the many options you’ll have right at your fingertips to create some of our sumptuous January vegan recipes.
