What do I need to pay attention to when shopping so that I avoid processed foods and eat healthily?
How do you correctly read the information on the packaging and which foods can you eat without any problems and without having to worry?
I was thinking of basic foods like:
Apples, potatoes, beans, onions, ginger etc.
Buy your food as far as possible on the weekly market, local farmers also have a farm sale sometimes, there you also find things, mostly even cheaper than in the supermarket.
Hello
Buy fresh products and cook yourself. That’s the A & O.
No finished sauces.
A balanced, diverse diet is a healthy diet.
Fresh basic foods, whether or not potatoes, vegetables, fruit, fish or meat. Potatoes, fruits and vegetables may also be from the discounter. It is much more important that the foundations are as fresh as possible and unprocessed.
This can be further increased by using organic products. You have to be able to afford that.
Happy You… and stay healthy

The stupid thing is: It takes time to prepare such foods. And who has it when you work eight hours every day, has the household, the children are there, a thousand other things have to be done and you have to sleep not least!
Hello Peter…
preparation is less time-consuming than some believe.
Finally, it does not turn around an X-speed menu.
To name an example to create a high-quality, tasty tomato sauce, 30min, possibly much less are sufficient.
It is also not possible to prepare ready-made cargo completely without time. Only the time difference is to be taken into account. You don’t have to watch a sauce when cooking.
So… YES, it’s a bit more time-consuming, but NO, the difference is in a very small time window.
In the end, the issue of priority…
No extreme examples should be used in an objective discussion. These are neither representative nor targeted.
Of course, it is more time-consuming in some courts, but this is not necessarily the case.
And then you watch the beans for 90 minutes while cooking…?
Often it is the healthy middle way. Even if the time is missing and if it is rather taken to pizza, it should be a basic need to eat healthy.
Soup beans need about 1 1/2 – 2 hours of cooking. Peas also an hour. The preparation of fresh vegetables is also quite time-consuming. My mother used to be pretty busy in the kitchen. That was because she didn’t work (was hardly usual in the country at that time). But today? In any case, the children are transferred to the day-to-day restaurant, where they have to sprinkle the large kitchen question in themselves. Ursula von der Leyen (then still Federal Family Minister) wonders that so many children are overweight! I’m not surprised.
Then you should go to the weekly market
I find little processed foods such as canned vegetables and fruits but also ok there are often more vitamins than in the fresh things in it because they have been piped in the right time… Spinach is not fresh every month I need it but once a month Tk ware is too bad
Actually, quite simply when it has a packaging it is 99% a processed food.
If it has a list of ingredients, it is processed. Question answered.
Exceptions can be found in fresh items, canned in glass or can, drinks and frozen food. And the meat counter.
This time as a rough overview.
Jepp… this looks like it.
Although the packaging industry itself sometimes welds bananas…🤦 ♀️
Shopping on the market
Buy what no advertising is made for….you are already on the right path.
Then buy basic ingredients… they are not processed.
You go to the farmer’s best shopping!
Go to the market! And not in discounter
