Cups of white and red quinoa
These cups are a ten to take to the office and place in the microwave for a minute.

A complete dish without effort.
Natural salmon cans

Mercadona’s famous classic hummus receives the approval of the experts. “Although the oil used in the recipe could be olive instead of sunflower, the nutritional composition is not bad, and It can be used for a quick fix one day when we are in a hurry and we can’t prepare our hummus ourselves,” they point out.
