Stocking a Healthy Pantry Preparing for social distancing during the Coronavirus

Here are some ideas for stocking your fridge, freezer, and pantry to keep everyone at home fed and
healthy in the event you need to spend a few weeks inside your doors. While it’s tempting to load
up your favorite treats, try to focus on nutritious choices, too. A healthier you equals a healthier
immune system.

Please Note: there is NOT a shortage of food or paper products in the US. Please don’t hoard
unnecessary amounts of items…..leave some for your neighbors.

 Frozen and Canned Fruits and Vegetables – citrus fruits and berries in particular
have lots of vitamin C to boost your immune system.

 Low-Sodium canned or Dry Beans: stock up on a variety like black beans, kidney,
pinto, and chickpeas. All are high in protein and zinc to boost immunity. `

 

 Canned Tuna, Sardines, Salmon or Chicken – lots of protein and zinc.

 Nut and Seed Butters: Peanut, Almond or Sunflower Seed Butter

 Rice, Dried Pasta and Whole Grains – try brown rice, quinoa, farro, barley, cream
of wheat and oatmeal

 Canned or Boxed Soups and Broths, Jarred Tomato Sauce

 

 Onions, Garlic, Ginger and Chili Peppers – all will last a long time in a cool place
(don’t store in plastic bags – they’ll rot) and add tons of flavor to recipes as well
as antioxidants for immunity.

 Root Vegetables and other Hearty Vegetables: Potatoes, Carrots, Sweet
Potatoes, Winter Squash (Butternut, Acorn, Buttercup) and Brussel Sprouts

 

Almacenando una cocina saludable

Preparación para distanciamiento social durante el coronavirus.

Aquí hay algunas ideas para almacenar su refrigerador, congelador y despensa para
mantener a todos en casa alimentados y saludables en caso de que necesite pasar
algunas semanas dentro de casa. Si es una tentación querer llenar su casa con sus
comidas y meriendas favoritas pero trate de concentrarse también en opciones
nutritivas. Cuando usted come alimentos mas nutritivos eso significa un sistema
inmunológico más saludable.

Tenga en cuenta: NO hay escasez de alimentos o productos de papel en los Estados Unidos.
Por favor, no acumule cantidades innecesarias de cualquier artículo … deje algunos para sus
vecinos.

 Frutas y verduras congeladas y enlatadas: las frutas cítricas y las fresas en
particular tienen mucha vitamina C para estimular su sistema inmunológico.

 Frijoles secos o enlatados bajos en sodio: abastecerse de una variedad como
frijoles negros, frijoles blancos , pinto, garbanzos. Todos contienen proteínas y
zinc para aumentar la inmunidad.

 Tuna enlatado, sardinas, salmón o pollo: contienen muchas proteínas y zinc.

 Mantequilla de nueces y semillas: mantequilla de maní, almendras o semillas de
girasol

 Arroz, pasta seca y granos integrales: pruebe el arroz integral, la quinua, el farro,
la cebada, la farina y la avena.

 Sopas y Caldos enlatados o en caja, salsa de tomate en frasco

 Cebollas, ajo, jengibre y chiles: todos durarán mucho tiempo en un lugar fresco
(no los guarde en bolsas de plástico, se pudrirán) y le agregarán a sus recetas
muchísimo sabor y antioxidantes para la inmunidad.

 Verduras de raíz y otras verduras nutritivas: papas, zanahorias, batatas, calabaza
de invierno (Butternut, bellota, ranúnculo) y coles de Bruselas
