You’ve likely seen the news. After the Goya CEO recently praised President Trump, a “Goycott” has ensued. It’s likely one of the easier boycotts to do, an easy way to be an activist to some extent. That’s because there are plenty of delicious pantry staples you can get on Amazon to stock up your cabinets and cook delicious meals with. From dried beans to curry paste and rice, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite staples that aren’t Goya.

Amazon

$12

Arosis Dry Giant Beans

If you’re not in on the heirloom bean craze, now is a great time to join. I use these beans to make soups, stews, beans on toast, whatever. It’s a plant based protein that’s incredible and easy to stock up on, too.

Amazon

$21

Ortega Black Beans

If dried beans aren’t your thing, stock up on some canned beans. This pack of twelve is great to have around to put in quesadillas, or to just eat. I love black beans so much.

Amazon

$15

Mae Ploy Red, Green, and Yellow Curry Paste

Curry paste is a must in my pantry. This is excellent for leftover vegetables, rice, and whatever else is in the fridge. Just throw it in your trusty non-stick pan and you’ve got a curry going.

Amazon

$14

Authentic Royal Basmati Rice

This big bag of rice is great tasting and is easy to cook. It really just takes 15-20 minutes and your favorite rice dish will be in front of you, warm and ready to eat.

Amazon

Tasty Bite Channa Masala

I cannot praise Tasty Bite food enough. It’s shelf-stable Indian food that you can heat up super easily. It shouldn’t taste as good as it does. It’s incredible. It’s one of those things I use while I’m camping, but is also great for when I’m just at home, to throw over some couscous or rice.

Amazon

Cento Tomato Paste

I use tomato paste a lot, from making sauces to soups. This tomato paste comes in a pack of four and is super rich and thick.

Amazon

Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter

I have a feeling I’m going to catch a lot of flack from Jif lovers out there, but Skippy is where it is at. I put PB in just about everything.

Amazon

StarKist Chunk Light Tuna

This eight pack of canned tuna is something I always have in my pantry. Perfect for tuna sandwiches for lunch or a midday snack, these are great to have on hand.

Amazon

Tiptree Sweet Tip Raspberry Preserve

I couldn’t recommend PB without the J. Is this jam or is it a jelly? Maybe it’s a preserve. I’m not entirely sure of the difference like some people out there, but what I can say for certain is that this stuff is delicious.

Amazon

De Cecco Pasta

I can’t get enough pasta, and De Cecco is my go-to brand. What else do you really need to know?

Amazon

Rao’s Homemade Marinara Sauce

I’m going as far as to say that Rao’s makes the best pasta sauce. I don’t know what it is exactly but they have that secret down pat. Add some red chilli flakes to make it spicy.

Amazon

Arrowhead Mills Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Mix

I think we’re all in need of some pancakes. Or waffles. I’m not going to pick sides in this age old battle between waffles and flapjacks. This mix is something I have on hand so I can make whatever I’m feeling like in the morning.
