Are you just getting started on Paleo? Heres a basic shopping list to get you going. Proteins - look for grass fed meats, pasture-raised eggs, free range chicken and wild caught fish. Eggs, pork including bacon and sausage, poultry, beef, veal, lamp, game meats (venison, elk) fish and shellfish. Jerky and sardines are great for snacks. Fats for cooking - coconut oil, lard, tallow. Vegetables - Visit your local farmers market or seek out the freshest, local produce you can find. Cooked vegetables are easier to digest than raw. Roots and tubers should be peeled. A basic list could include: onions, garlic, carrots, celery, cauliflower, cucumbers, lettuce, Swiss chard, kale, cabbage, mushrooms, peppers broccoli, sweet potatoes & winter squash. Fruits - go easy on fruits and focus on berries. Avocados, tomatoes, limes and lemons are great to have at all times. Nuts - just like fruits, go easy on the nuts. They contain high amounts of omega-6 fatty acids and have anti-nutrients like phytates. Its best to soak and sprout nuts. The best choices are macadamia nuts, cashews and hazelnuts. Herbs & spices - as many as you can find. Watch out for blends that may contain fillers or MSG. Other random items - coconut milk, chicken & beef broth, canned tomatoes, tomato paste, capers, olives, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, canned fish (salmon, tuna), almond butter and other nut butters, canned chipotles in adobe sauce, mustard, cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, curry paste, coconut aminos and wheat free tamari, almond and coconut flour, olive oil, honey, maple syrup for occasional use.
