Ancestral shopping list for women
An ancestral shopping list is short. Eggs, meat, one organ a week, broth bones, seasonal vegetables, and a few pantry fats cover most traditional plates without special orders.
The weekly core
Eggs, a few cuts of meat, butter or another traditional fat, and vegetables in season form the base. The plate this builds is laid out in building an ancestral plate for women.
One organ a week
Liver one week, heart the next, keeps the rotation simple and the portions small. The wider pattern is in ancestral nutrition for women and nose-to-tail eating for women.
Bones for broth
A bag of bones most weeks keeps broth in the kitchen for soups and grains. Broth basics are in bone broth and organ meats.
Keep the list to one page
If the list grows long and special, it stops being a weekly shop. Plain, repeatable and seasonal is the point, as in ancestral eating on a budget.
