Infographic: The Top 20 Healthy Pantry Must-Haves

Kansas City Royals team nutritionist and author of the food blog The Nutrition Expert Mitzi Dulan has teamed up with American Express to make a Tumblr infographic for health-conscious home cooks, entitled the Top 20 Healthy Pantry Must-Haves (click on the infographic for full view).

From classic staples like low-sodium chicken broth and peanut butter to lesser-known pantry powerhouses like kefir (a fermented milk drink) and freekeh (an ancient Middle Eastern grain, also known as farik).

It's a list full of healthy fats, protein, and energy-efficient items that will inevitably save you more than one blistery cold trip to the grocery store this winter.

Seasoned stockpilers will already recognize that a well-organized pantry has infinite charms, including the fact that it's like having a miniature grocery store inside your own home.

As always, we recommend bookmarking, pinning, or even turning this into a giant poster for the inside of your pantry door.
