Do I even need to explain this? Apart from being used in so many recipes, it keeps almost indefinitely. Make sure you keep plenty of it.
9. Beans (Kidney, chick-peas etc)
These also stay for a very long time. And you never know when you might need them for a salad.
8. Nuts (Pine nuts, cashew nuts, walnuts etc)
These always make a good snack. Also good as an impromptu garnish on many dishes.
7. Pulses
Crucial for many soups and curries. And you won't need to worry about the use-by date.
6. Dried and canned fruit
These can be used in many desserts and salads. Believe me, once you have them, you will find many uses.
5. Dried mushroom (Shiitake, Chinese, porcini etc)
Nothing beats fresh but the dried once will work well if you use them right.
4. Sauces (Soy, Chili etc)
Must-haves for stir-frys.
3. Flours (of all kinds)
Most of all would already have this. There is just no end to it's uses. Almost indispensable.
2. Seeds (Sesame, pumpkin etc)
These works as a great snack with dried fruits and are also extensively used in recipes.
1. Dried spices (Cardamon, Cinnamon etc)
You just can't say enough about these. They can make any dish special.
