Keep less perishable items on hand such as Nuts, Seeds, Dried Fruits, Dried Seaweed, Oils, Vinegar, Nut and Seed Butters, and Spices.Nuts and Seeds should be in their raw state not roasted or salted.Bulk Bins in Health Food Stores are great places to find your Dried Goods, Nuts, Seeds and specialty items like Nutritional Yeast.Nut and Seed Butters should also be raw without added sugar and other additives.Oils should be Extra Virgin and Unrefined, Cold-Pressed and Organic if possible.Vinegar should also be raw and unfiltered, Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar is the brand that I use.Shop store brands (generic label) especially for organic packaged items for the best deals.Shop for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables as you need them, try Farmers Markets and ask your Grocer when they get their produce trucks in to get your fruits and vegetables as fresh as possible.Buy Organic whenever possible for the best quality and higher standards. Check out chart on page 14 to see what fruits and vegetables are most important to buy organic.
