Boom of ready meals in supermarkets

In fact, the selection of prepared christmas dishes is nothing simple, but that more than one would not have thought of it. However, we must know that Mercadona it is not our only option. For several years now supermarkets have bet heavily on the section from ready mealsThe rush of day to daythe lack of time to prepare quality food and growing people's concern for carrying a healthier diet have hatched conceding a successful to these initiatives.

Logically, not all the dishes prepared in these spaces are 100% healthy. There are dishes that are fried, for example. However, there are many others such as salads or the roast meat which are good alternatives. However, they will always be a better option than, for example, a Burger King, un McDonald’s, a pizza etc That is, we mostly talk about food with a lot of saturatedsugars.

Mercadona's "Ready to Eat"

The peculiarity of "Ready to eat" is that depending on the region in which we find ourselves, the dishes offered are different. Thus, in Madrid we can eat Madrid-style tripe or mixed paella and in Valencia, we can enjoy a orthodox paella. Something that makes a lot of sense, but not all supermarkets do. We even have the option to customize our plates. In this way if we want a pasta dish we can select the type of pasta (smooth or stuffed), combine the sauce or add cheese. The same goes for the salad.
