Healthy pantry essentials: Check these brands to stock up your pantry!

If you are planning to take your health seriously and want to upgrade your pantry a little, here's a list of 5 brands to buy healthy pantry essentials.

You need a well-stocked kitchen to cook a quick and nutritious meal. The first step towards healthy cooking would be having all the essential ingredients together in your kitchen and making sure that they are also good for your health. If this is your first time building a healthy pantry from scratch, start with the basics and check this list of brands for healthy pantry essentials.

1. Soy Milk Powder from Urban Platter

Milk is essential, and if you are up for making it healthier, then we will suggest you go for almond or soy milk. Soy milk is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, aka the “healthy” fats that your body cannot form on its own, while almond milk is low in calories, nutritious, and may even strengthen your bones. You would also find ingredients that are not usually available at your regular stores. You can also check out Almond Flour, Coconut Flour, Dried Date Sugar, Korean food, various kinds of nut butters, and more. So, if you are up for exploring, do check them out.

2. Cold pressed groundnut oil from Vasara

Cold-pressed oils are extremely healthy! They are high in nutrients, packed with healthy fats, contain potent antioxidants, are better for the heart, and are usually prescribed by doctors and nutritionists. Adding them to your pantry would be a good alternative, and so do buy a few bottles from Vasara, which claims to offer a collection of 100% pure wooden cold-pressed oils.

3. Nuts & seeds from Nutraj

Nuts, seeds, and dry fruits are important and can be used in several ways. Use them while baking or chew them as snacks because they are really good sources of protein, healthy fats, fibres, vitamins, and minerals. Fill your containers with your favourite seeds, nuts, and dry fruits, and shop from Nutraj, which offers a variety of Exotic Nuts & Dry Fruits from around the world.

4. Organic herbs & Spices from Pure Organio

What's an Indian kitchen without a lot of spices and herbs, right? And so you can't miss out on it because, at the end of the day, it's the masalas that add the much-needed flavour to our boring meals. Pure Organio claims to provide pure organic products that are certified and made in India. Their website has a range of organic spice powders, whole spices, and herbs that you will need and so have a look and order a few packs for yourself.

5. Pulses and other cooking essentials from Shoonya Farms

Dal Rice is comfort food for almost all of us and it wouldn't be wrong to say that pulses are one of the must-haves when it comes to our kitchen cabinets. Shoonya Farms claims to offer fresh, chemical-free & sustainably-grown products straight from the farm! You can shop for pulses as well as ghee, honey, and organic sweeteners from them. Do check them out.
