Stocking up for fall with necessary dry commodities and spices

As the seasons shift and cooler weather rolls in, it’s the perfect time to refresh your pantry with hearty, long-lasting staples. Stocking up on dry goods and spices now means you’ll be ready for cozy soups, warm breakfasts and home baking all season long. As a grocery store in Vancouver, Famous Foods is your go-to spot for seasonal prep with high-quality organic ingredients. 

Lentils and beans

These humble pantry heroes are packed with protein and fibre and so perfect for cozy fall meals. Keep a variety of dry or canned options on hand, like green lentils for stews, black beans for chilli or chickpeas for curries. They’re easy on the wallet, super filling and a breeze to cook in large quantities.

Oats

Whether you’re craving a warm bowl of oatmeal, muffins or granola bars, oats are a fall staple. Rolled oats are great for baking and breakfast, while steel-cut oats offer a chewy, hearty texture, perfect for chilly mornings. Choose organic oats for a healthy start to your day, available at your local health foods store.

Spices

Fall season cooking is all about bold warming spices. Stock your spice rack with the essentials like cinnamon, nutmeg, cumin, paprika and turmeric. These not only bring richness to your meals but can also help prevent inflammation. Buying spices in bulk is a great way to save while keeping your pantry stocked.

Baking ingredients 

Fall is the time for baking bread. Think banana bread, pumpkin muffins and heavy loaves. Fill your pantry with flour, baking powder, vanilla flavouring, sweeteners like maple syrup, honey and chocolate chips. At our health foods store, you’ll be able to get everything you need from gluten-free flours to organic baking essentials.

Pasta, rice and grains

Whole foods like quinoa, brown rice, barley and pasta are easy foundations for easy one-pot meals and casseroles. They’re shelf-stable and infinitely versatile, pairing deliciously with roasted vegetables, beans or homemade sauces.

At Famous Foods, we’re thrilled to help families prepare for fall with quality dry goods and spices to clear the way for healthy, flavourful cooking. Whether you’re stocking your pantry or trying a new recipe, we have everything you need to enjoy dining all season long.
