What to pack in your pantry

Posted on Aug 12th 2008 8:30AM by Jacki Donaldson

Here's what your pantry should look like, says the American Cancer Society in an attempt to get people eating in the healthiest manner possible. A clean, nutritious diet can help prevent cancer, after all.

  • Line your shelves with beans, rice, and dried, whole-wheat pasta.
  • Devote a shelf to canned vegetables and soups, (not the creamy kind), broths, and dried fruit, like raisins.
  • Throw in some canned tuna, salmon, and chicken -- a fast way to add protein to your meals.
  • Add healthy oils and vinegar to add a zip to your dishes.
