List of Staples

[angelandarose]

I'm looking for a list of what y'all use most in regards to oils, spices, nuts, grains, etc... I'm trying to make me a shopping list for tomorrow. :D I hear so many good recipes but have not just stopped to write down what I need to make most things.

Don't worry about listing fruits and veggies, I have that list already. ;)

THANKS!

I'll add:

apple cider vinegar or plum vinegar
agave nectar
coconut oil

cacao nibs

pine nuts
kamut [grain I like to use instead of wheat]
unhulled buckwheat
pumpkin seeds [to use for peanut-ier flavor in place of almonds when appropriate]

sprout seeds [alfalfa, clover, radish]

basil/ oregano
chili seasoning
caraway
poppy
anise [if you like anise cookies]
paprika
cinnamon sticks [to grind or in raw tea]

I have a word doc called Basic Grocery List I wrote up for my first big raw grocery trip. I've deleted some items and added others as I find out what I like. Those first few weeks were rough, experimenting with so many new ingredients. I threw away a lot of unsatisfactory food. I would also suggest cutting untried recipes in half or even quarters.

I would suggest looking for recipes that have some familiar spices so you have a pretty good idea whether you would like them in addition to a some new ones. Don't buy too much of any of the bulk ingredients until you've confirmed they make your A List. I think I bought 5 pounds of rye and 4 1/2 of them are going to the first raw foodist I meet that likes it.
