HAMBURG (Reuters) - Many Germans cooked more meals themselves during the coronavirus crisis and also used more fresh ingredients rather than processed foods, the food and agriculture ministry said on Friday.

The ministry said that in a survey, some 30% of those questioned said they prepared more meals themselves than before the crisis, while 28% said they ate more meals together with other members of their household than before the crisis.
