- Quorn is a fungus (mycoprotein) which grows in a glucose mixture.
- The mycoprotein is separated into a solid and liquid. The solid is heated and mixed with flavours to make it taste like meat.
- Main advantages: High in protein and fibre. Low in fat.
- Can be sliced into many different shapes to look like meat.
- Examples of Quorn products include: fillets, burgers, sweet and sour, pieces and mince.
