http://www.quorn.com/ "Quorn is the leading brand of mycoprotein food product in the UK and a leading brand elsewhere. Mycoprotein is the generic term for protein-rich foodstuffs made from processed edible fungus.
Quorn is produced as both a cooking ingredient and a range of ready meals. Quorn is sold (largely in Europe but also in other countries) as a healthy food and an alternative to meat, especially for vegetarians. As it uses egg white as a binder, it is not suitable for vegans." quorn can subsitute for meat i eat alot of quorn as a vegetarian, but if you are a vegetarian remember theres alot more than just quorn to eat.
All Quorn products contain mycoprotein. Mycoprotein is a nutritious member of the fungi family, as are mushrooms and truffles. There are lots of great things about mycoprotein which very few people know, so here are just a few:
- Mycoprotein is a fungus which contains high quality protein, enabling us to offer an alternative, purely vegetarian source of protein to meat
- Mycoprotein is naturally low in fat
- Mycoprotein also contains very few calories, so we can bring you foods which tastes great but which don’t max out on the calorie content
- Mycoprotein also contains essential dietary fibre, which as we all know, helps to maintain a healthy digestive system
- Mycoprotein doesn’t contain any cholesterol whatsoever, so eating Quorn products as part of a balanced, low fat diet can help to maintain normal cholesterol levels, which can help keep your heart healthy
- Mycoprotein is completely meat free. The organism does occur naturally, but we simply grow it under controlled conditions so that we can bring you a large variety of high quality Quorn products.
Only Quorn products contain this special vegetarian protein ingredient.
They make loads of stuf like deli burgers, bacon, chiken fillets, meatballs, chiken style peices, pies, pastys, sausages, lots of ready meals and loads more!, their all vegetarian society approved, quorn is great for putting in a meal that would normally have meat in it.
