It's time to give your pantry a much-needed makeover. It should be stocked with healthy basics like beans, flour, rice, and nut butters, but we're willing to bet if you take a peek in there right now, you'd find more than a few duplicates (who needs five cans of crushed tomatoes?) and expired items. That's why we've pulled together 22 of the healthiest pantry staples on Amazon. With these items on hand and the fresh foods you pick up from the grocery store each week, you'll be stocked and ready to prepare quick, healthy, and flavorful meals at any time.

Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar

Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar

Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar ($14 for two) can be used to make tangy salad dressings and marinades, but most people love ACV for its hidden health benefits, including a healthy immune system and improved digestion.

Safe Catch Wild Tuna

We all have those days when we have no time or energy to cook. Yeah, that's when we pull out a packet of Safe Catch Wild Tuna ($36 for 12), mix it with some mayo and chopped veggies, throw it over some greens, and call it a salad.

Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Amazon

Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Oil ($15) is a classic that will never go out of style. It's great for dressings and dips, as well as sautéing.

Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil Mayo

Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil Mayo

Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil Mayo ($18 for two) is non-GMO and made with cage-free organic eggs. It makes a delicious sandwich topping, and we love a dollop of the chipotle lime flavor for topping fish tacos.

Muir Glen Organic Diced Tomatoes
Amazon

Muir Glen Organic Diced Tomatoes

Fresh tomatoes are nice and all, but what happens when they're out of season or you run out days before your next grocery trip? Muir Glen Organic Diced Tomatoes ($19 for 12) make a flavorful addition to soup, chili, and pasta dishes, and they can be stored much longer than fresh tomatoes.

Simply Organic Starter Spice Set
Amazon

Simply Organic Starter Spice Set

If you don't have the space to dedicate an entire cupboard to an extensive spice collection, this Simply Organic Starter Spice Set ($28) covers the basics and then some. The smaller size ensures they won't sit in the back of your pantry without being used up before they expire.

Waka Instant Coffee
Amazon

Waka Instant Coffee

Cup4Cup Gluten-Free Flour
Amazon

Cup4Cup Gluten-Free Flour

If you've gone gluten-free, baking can become quite tricky with the confusing measurement conversions needed for many alternative flours. Cup4Cup Gluten-Free Flour ($12) works perfectly with your favorite recipes because you use the same amount as you would with traditional flour.

RightRice Variety Pack
Amazon

RightRice Variety Pack

RightRice ($26 for six) is made from chickpeas, lentils, peas, and, yes, rice. We could all use a few more veggies in our diet and this nutrient-rich rice is a good way to get there.

Bragg Coconut Aminos
Amazon

Bragg Coconut Aminos

If you're looking for an alternative to soy sauce, Bragg Coconut Aminos ($13) is the gluten-free, soy-free stand-in you've been searching for. Use it in stir-fries and dressings or on roasted veggies when you need a hit of that umami flavor.

TCHO Dark Chocolate
Amazon

TCHO Dark Chocolate

No kitchen is complete without a little dark chocolate. High-quality TCHO Dark Chocolate ($2) can be chopped up and stirred into baked goods, melted into hot chocolate, or, you know, eaten all on its own as a mid-afternoon snack.

Chosen Foods Garlic Avocado Oil Spray
Amazon

Chosen Foods Garlic Avocado Oil Spray

Use Chosen Foods Garlic Avocado Oil Spray ($9) to oil your pan while adding a subtle garlic flavor — because sometimes we're all too lazy to mince garlic.

Pukka Herbs Tea Selection Box
Amazon

Pukka Herbs Tea Selection Box

Any good hostess should have an assortment of teas on hand to offer when company stops by. The Pukka Herbs Tea Selection Box ($20) includes everything from energizing matcha to relaxing lemon and ginger, so you'll always be prepared no matter what time of day.

Tessemae's Ketchup and BBQ Sauce

Banza Chickpea Elbow Pasta
Amazon

Go Raw Pumpkin Seeds
Amazon

Go Raw Pumpkin Seeds

Go Raw Pumpkin Seeds ($11) may not sound like a staple, but these salty seeds can add a zingy crunch to salads, soups, and avocado toast. Plus, you can throw back a handful when you're craving a salty snack.

A Dozen Cousins Variety Pack Beans
Amazon

A Dozen Cousins Variety Pack Beans

Sure, you could keep bulk-bin bags of beans in your pantry, but then you'd have to soak, season, and cook them before you can actually eat them. A Dozen Cousins Variety Pack Beans ($25 for six) come in three almost ready-to-eat flavors — all they need is a minute in the microwave.

Justin's Classic Almond Butter
