25 Healthy Pantry Staples and Snacks You Can Only Buy on Amazon

If you're looking to save on healthy kitchen staple ingredients, look no further than… Amazon? Yup, that's right.

Though you might not have considered the mega-site a place to get snacky, the retailer's in-house grocery lines offer basic pantry, fridge and freezer staples at incredible prices.

And in our current state, with crowded grocery stores and one-way lanes, there's no better time to try it. "Online shopping can reduce how often you need to leave the house and offer more accessibility to items that stores are sometimes out of these days," says nutrition expert Erin Palinski-Wade, RD, author of ​Belly Fat for Dummies​.

Shopping Amazon's in-house brands, she notes, is an easy way to ensure you're always stocked up on healthy staples — so you can keep eating well without having to worry about the logistics of going to the store.

As for what to buy? Amazon's brands really shine when it comes to basic ingredients. Though there are a few noteworthy exceptions, most of the packaged offerings aren't particularly wholesome or creative in the flavor department.

The staples you'll use for making your own meals and snacks, however, are absolute steals: the prices are just ​so​ good. Here, shop the 25 best foods on Amazon.
