One of my number one ways to reduce overwhelm in cooking is to have a stocked pantry/kitchen. It is a JOB to keep it stocked, but buying in bulk makes it easier! Feeding five people three meals a day all by myself (pretty much!) is a lot if you have to buy every single thing for each meal each week. Keeping my kitchen stocked with the staples allows my grocery list to be much shorter each week and mostly in the fresh produce section. A stocked kitchen allows me to make things without necessarily planning for them in advance.
What’s the advantage of ordering from Azure Standard?
- It is a website that makes it easy to stock and restock on what I like. I buy mostly organic bulk ingredients. See the list below of everything I order!
- My preference is to only consume organic wheat, corn, and soy to avoid a lot of glyphosate and genetically modified ingredients. Azure Standard makes this very easy with their organic wheat, non-gmo soy curls, and organic popcorn kernals and corn masa. I also try to only buy fair-trade cocoa (no kids harvesting cocoa or inhumane labor) and they have that.
- You can save money on shipping and time grocery shopping! When I place an order (I don’t even order every month), I go to the truck drop–mine is about 5 minutes away–at the appointed time to pick up my order. With this, no shipping cost at all!
- No more running around town to 4 different stores to get random items! I can find almost any ingredient on Azure–even ones I can’t get at my regular grocery store. Non-toxic dishwasher detergent that actually works? Aluminum-free baking powder? It’s almost impossible to find at my local stores! Elderberries for homemade elderberry syrup? It’s not anywhere near me! But Azure Standard has stuff like that. Mushroom powder for making your hot cocoa a superfood without any extra taste? BING!
- Their cleaning products are environmentally friendly and non-toxic so you’re not inhaling harmful chemicals. I like to order 6-months worth of cleaning products at a time (I get their dishwasher detergent, toilet bowl cleaner, and glass cleaner) and not have to worry about buying any again.
- Anyone can earn credit by sharing Azure Standard, making your next order even less money!
- GRAINS are one of the best buys from Azure! If you like to bake bread or grind your own flour, this is the place to get your grains! They have so many varieties at good prices.

Here are some things I order:
All these bolded words are links you can click on to add to your cart.
organic popcorn kernals (I love this popcorn so much!)
organic hard white wheat berries (I grind my own whole wheat flour for pancakes, bread, sourdough bread, etc)
coconut chips (this makes a delicious oatmeal topping or irrestible coconut bacon!)
cocoa powder (fair trade, organic)
Soy curls (super convenient, shelf-stable protein)
walnut pieces (SO handy having them pre-chopped!)
chopped dates (cheaper than whole dates and perfect when you’re going to blend up dates anyway)
whole dates (these are about the same price as Costco, which is about as cheap as they get)
chicken flavored broth (so much better than vegetable broth when you’re making something like a pot pie or noodle soup)
Lundberg farms brown basmati rice (this is the best rice because it’s the lowest in arsenic unlike Asia-grown rice)
date sugar (this doesn’t even count as an added sugar in my opinion, it’s just dried and ground dates!)
apple juice-sweetened dried cranberries
dried apricots sulfur-free (these are a bit of splurge but wow are they the most flavorful and candy-like dried apricots I’ve ever had! The perfect packed-lunch treat.)
mushroom powder (I am obsessed with making this Mushroom Hot Cocoa!)
Non-food Items
dishwasher detergent (I love this stuff! So hard to find “clean” dishwasher detergent that works! But this is it.)
glass cleaner(no fumes and is actually streak-free)
