Bananas
Apples
Pears
Lemons
Oranges
Grapefruit
Berries (any good ones I can find)
Lettuce
Other leafy greens
Mangoes
Papayas....oops that's 11, well you catch my drift I'm sure ;)
Most important staples before anything else are fresh fruit and veggies in my house always.

gosh i'm trying to think if i even have any dry staples....salt and pepper, cumin, flax seeds, quinoa (for sprouting), raisins and dates, agave (arguable not really raw), honey, almond butter... i guess that's all i can think of. i don't love nuts/seeds or dried fruit so that kind of stuff just ends up sitting in my pantry forever. all that stuff just makes me feel solid on the inside. that's probably why you got so many juicy things as answers!

Yeah, I would pretty much stick to my list as my staples. Those are the things I have to have in the house at all times. If I have those things I can throw together a basic meal in a pinch and a really good meal if I have a few other things on hand.

I think when you're raw there are less in the way of dry staples since your focus is on fresh fruits and veggies.

all fruits
all veggies
sunflower seeds
olive oil
sundried tomatoes
flax crackers (if need crunchy stuff)
raw olives

I also recommend that you get a raw cookbook to guide you if you are just transitioning into raw..
