Food - Brand Quality at a Fair Price

Basically, every food serves to keep the human body alive. It is either eaten or drunk and is eventually utilized by the organism. A prerequisite for this is that the product in question is also utilizable and not toxic. There are numerous foods that are only utilizable (and edible) after being prepared. The best example is the potato, which must be cooked before the human body can "do anything" with it. Of course, not only the utilizability of food plays an important role, but also its taste. Substances and products that you don't like, you will surely leave on the plate, without thinking about what nutritional value they might contain. But as is well known, tastes differ: something that you particularly like will probably be avoided by many others. Cultural and religious traditions also shape all people. In Germany, nobody would think of eating dog or cat meat. In Asia, however, this is quite common. Conversely, the situation is reversed with pork, which is eaten here but avoided in other places.

The nutritional value refers to the nutrients in food. Carbohydrates, proteins and fats act as energy-providing basic nutrients. Another term for these energy sources is fuel. Dietary components that do not provide energy but are important for our organism include fiber, minerals and water. So-called active substances that occur in food are vitamins, trace elements and secondary plant substances. Depending on how a food is processed, it may also contain flavoring substances, taste enhancers and other food additives.

Whether it's coffee, vegetables, fruit, tea or other foods. In this section of our online shop, you will find all the items you need for a enjoyable life and a healthy diet. And just like when shopping in a conventional supermarket, you don't have to give up a wide selection and the high quality of your food in this online shop. At the same time, you benefit from the convenient alternative of online shopping, such as the many information about the various products and the direct delivery of food to your doorstep.

Do your weekly shopping conveniently from home

In every household - no matter if it's for yourself or for the entire extended family - you need a certain selection of fresh groceries that must be purchased weekly. These foods include fresh vegetables, meat, fish, fruit, or various dairy products, for example. The food delivery service offers you the opportunity to always put these groceries in your imaginary shopping cart on time and to order them conveniently from home. The fresh products are delivered within a few days - not only within Germany, but worldwide. In addition to food, you will of course also find your drinks such as wine, tea, or coffee, or other items in the food delivery service.

You are what you eat: Quality is a must

In a good and nutritious diet, the quality of the product is of course particularly important. As a partner of EDEKA Lebensmittel, we can offer you DLG-tested EDEKA own-brand products as well as many regionally produced foods and gently produced organic products in this online shop. Not for nothing has the food product range offered here been positively evaluated several times by the Stiftung Warentest, but also by the consumer magazine Öko-Test.

The addition "organic" presupposes that the products come from ecologically controlled cultivation. This includes, in particular, the renunciation of genetic engineering as well as the use of artificial fertilizers and chemical-synthetic plant protection agents. The EU Organic Regulation has regulated the labeling of such organic products since 2007. As a consumer, you can recognize these by the organic seal. There is the German state organic seal, which has consisted of a green hexagon with the inscription "Bio" on a white background since 2011. Since 2010, you can also find the organic seal of the European Union: a leaf formed from twelve white stars on a green background.

Enjoy potatoes, rice & pasta in a variety of ways

The so-called staple foods are characterized by their relatively high content of starch and protein. This ensures that the eater is relatively well satiated. Potatoes, rice & pasta have a neutral taste and can therefore be used in a variety of ways. Our shop offers you the choice between fresh potatoes and a large number of potato products such as mashed potatoes and dumplings. If you prefer pasta, you will find not only common pasta varieties, but also various pasta dishes. As a rice lover, you can choose from natural rice, parboiled rice, and milk rice, for example. We also offer you delicious sauces and express rice with ingredients added.

Potatoes have been cultivated in Germany since the mid-18th century. Until the mid-20th century, every German ate more than 150 kilograms of potatoes in one year. With the growing range of convenience products, consumption steadily decreased. Nowadays, Germans consume only just under 60 kilograms of potatoes annually - including french fries, chips, and other potato products. The Agrarmarkt Informations-Gesellschaft assumes that the ratio of fresh to "refined" potatoes often still falls in favor of potato products.

Pasta is usually made from pasta dough based on ground grain. Nowadays, there is an enormous range of pasta sizes and shapes that can also contain quite different ingredients. The first pasta factory was established in Erfurt in 1793. Since then, wheat semolina has been processed into pasta here, and eggs are sometimes added. In Germany, it is customary to eat pasta as a main course with a sauce or to use it as a side dish. However, potatoes are still the more popular staple food. Only in southwestern German cuisine do noodles play an important role in filled (such as Maultaschen) and unfilled form (especially Spätzle).

Save time with convenience foods and preserves

When time is short, you have many foods to choose from that can be called convenience foods or preserves. The Appert canning process presented at the London World Exhibition in 1851 was the beginning of mass production of various types of canned goods. The range ranged and still ranges from canned fruits and vegetables to durable fish and meat. Our shop assortment includes the aforementioned food groups as well as many canned dishes and soups, stocks, soup ingredients, and instant products. The most time-saving are the portioned meals and the canned meals/soups that you only have to warm up. But you can also save a lot of work by choosing the desired vegetable side dish in the form of a can. For example, preparing kale or red cabbage is usually very time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Delicatessen and staple foods as two important food groups

Under the name of delicatessen, you can find food that surpasses the everyday consumed products in terms of type, taste, and quality. Both the selection of raw materials and the production should meet particularly high standards. Typical delicatessen products include delicatessen salads and sauces. The latter can be differentiated into emulsified sauces (such as remoulade and salad cream) and non-emulsified sauces (such as tomato ketchup and seasoning sauces). Like "delicacies," the term "delicatessen" cannot be precisely characterized. However, luxury products such as caviar, oysters, and champagne are also commonly referred to as delicatessen products.

In addition to fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, and cereal products, staple foods are an important food group. This includes salt, sugar, and flour as a basis for pasta dough. Although you like to bake, you want to save yourself the weighing of the individual ingredients? Then you should turn to our range of bread and cake baking mixes. Under baking ingredients and dried fruits, you will find nuts, almonds, and dried fruits for your baking recipe or as a supplement to your morning muesli. Apart from that, we offer you a good assortment of desserts and dessert sauces, with which you can quickly conjure up a delicious dessert.

The spectrum ranges from pudding powder, to which you still have to add milk and sugar, to ready-made red berry pudding.
