Summary
Restocking the purged pantry is a fundamental step toward going Primal — or strengthening your resolve. It’s one of the 5 Action Items in the 21-Day Challenge, and for my money it’s probably the most important because it can be a real springboard for the rest of your Challenge (and life). So you really want to get this right.
So, without further delay, I present the definitive list of Primal pantry staples, complete with links, justifications, and suggested uses. I hope you find it helpful.

| 0:19.1 | As a sort of mini project around the house, |
| 0:23.5 | Carrie and I have been going through everything we have and asking a simple question. |
| 0:28.7 | Do we need this item? |
| 0:30.4 | The first section we tackled was the pantry, because, believe it or not, |
| 0:34.8 | it needed the most work. |
| 0:36.5 | Whether it was the overwhelming number of |
| 0:39.4 | free paleoprimal products that I get sent to try and never finish, or the odd bit of non-primal |
| 0:46.5 | food that manages to creep in, I found a box of fig Newton's, and strangest of all, a sack of white |
| 0:53.3 | flour. Or even the food that got |
| 0:56.3 | buried in the back corner of some pantry shelf and was forgotten. The pantry was seriously |
| 1:01.8 | overflowing with food that did not need to be there. So I tossed a bunch of stuff and started |
| 1:08.1 | fresh. That was the easy part, but now I have to restock it. |
| 1:13.9 | You may think of me as Mark Sisson, the guy who's got it all figured out, the one whose pantry |
| 1:20.8 | is the envy of all who behold it and houses every primal staple known to humanity. But really, I'm a regular guy who keeps the basics and little else on hand. |
| 1:33.3 | Since I was starting more or less from scratch, |
| 1:36.3 | I decided to construct the definitive primal pantry as a model for all of you |
| 1:41.3 | and as a kick in the pants for myself. |
| 1:45.0 | And I'll admit, once I got my Thrive Market membership, I went a little crazy on this project. |
| 1:51.7 | The preponderance of inexpensive paleo-friendly groceries at the Thrive Market made this super easy. |
