Pantry Food
From dry soups and rice to pasta and flour, pantry food gives you an easy, shelf-stable way to stock up. You'll find a wide range of delicious pantry food at CVS Pharmacy in our stores and online. When buying pantry food, make sure that you store it in a cool, dark place out of direct sunlight. Shop for bulk pantry food items if you're looking to stock up on all of your favorites. This food can include anything from condiments to flour, sugar, and rice. Always keep your pantry food in airtight containers and don't open the packaging until you're ready to consume it.
Food Shelf Life
The food shelf life of your items will vary depending on the product. Always read the expiration date to make sure that your food hasn't spoiled. While food shelf life can vary from item to item, most things have a standard length of time that they remain edible before going bad. Baking powder has a food shelf life of about 18 months, while baking soda can last two years. Cornmeal lasts between six and 12 months, while cornstarch should have a food shelf life of about 18 months. All types of flour typically last between six to eight months. Surprisingly, honey has an incredible indefinite shelf life. Most items will last longer if they remain unopened. For example, canola oil lasts about one year when it's opened, but it can last two years if it stays unopened. Spices and herbs should last anywhere from one to three years when they are stored correctly.
Best Pantry Foods
The best pantry foods are the ones that you will use and enjoy. If you love to bake, you'll want to make sure that your pantry is fully stocked with items like all-purpose flour, sugar, yeast, and baking powder. Other examples of the best pantry foods include items that you can make in a pinch. Pasta, soup mixes, rice, and instant potatoes are all good examples of foods that you can make in a hurry or when you're running low on fresh foods. Other pantry foods that everyone needs include a variety of herbs and spices. This will make cooking more enjoyable and you'll have more flexibility when you're making all of your favorite recipes.
What are Pantry Essentials?
Your pantry is a great place to keep your non-perishable foods or foods that do not have to be refrigerated. This often includes a variety of staples that you know that you will need, or foods that are great for those times when you do not want to cook something special. Some common pantry essentials include condiments like ketchup and mustard, simple meals like macaroni and cheese, and special desserts like brownie mix. You can also keep sugar, salt, and other seasonings in your pantry so you have them when you need them.
How to Organize a Pantry
Keeping your pantry properly organized will help ensure you are able to find the food you need when you are ready to use it. There are many different pantry organization strategies that you can follow. In most cases, you will want to keep similar foods together in one place. For example, if you have a variety of condiments kept in your pantry, keeping them all in one area makes the most sense. The same can be said for boxed foods, including cereals. While there are plenty of options for organizing a panty, the important thing is that you pick a strategy that works well for you so you can make the most use out of this important room of the house.
