The JARS Method is built around a small group of versatile ingredients that can be used across cooking, cleaning, and self-care. Keeping these on hand makes everyday routines simpler and more natural, and most of them can be found at your local grocery store, on Amazon, or in bulk at stores like Costco.
This is the list I come back to. You don’t need everything at once. Start with what feels most relevant to where you are right now and build from there.
Pantry Staples (Food & Cooking)
These ingredients form the foundation for simple meals and homemade recipes.
- Olive oil
- Coconut oil
- Honey
- Sea salt
- Oats
- Brown sugar or raw sugar
- Rice
- Beans or lentils
- Apple cider vinegar
- Flour
Natural Cleaning Staples
Many common cleaning products can be replaced with just a few natural ingredients.
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
- Castile soap
- Lemon
- Essential oils (optional for scent)
Start With One Jar
You don’t need to build this all at once. Start with a few ingredients, use them in a few different ways, and let the list grow naturally over time.
Sometimes it really does begin with just one jar. Here’s 5 Pantry Staples I started making myself or my natural hair care routine if you are looking for a place to begin.
