About Quorn

In just 5 short years more than 50 million servings of Quorn™ products have been enjoyed in America, but many people still don’t fully understand what it’s all about. Are Quorn™ products made of soy? Or maybe textured vegetable protein (TVP)? Actually, Quorn™ foods are totally unique in so many ways, and there are some very surprising facts about the Quorn™ line that you may be interested to know!

All Quorn™ products contain mycoprotein. Mycoprotein (“myco” is Greek for “fungi”) is a nutritious member of the fungi family, as are mushrooms, truffles, and morels. The fungus used in all Quorn™ products is Fusarium Venenatum. 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. It is high quality because it has all 9 essential amino acids.

 Mycoprotein is naturally low in fat.

Mycoprotein also contains very few calories, so we can bring you foods which deliver on taste but which don’t max out on the calorie content.

Mycoprotein also contains essential dietary fiber, which as we all know, helps to maintain a healthy digestive system.

Mycoprotein contains zero cholesterol.

Mycoprotein is completely meat-free and soy-free.

The mycoprotein organism that is used in all Quorn™ products does grow 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, and our expert chefs have many years of experience in using mycoprotein as an ingredient and turning it into our deliciously tasty and convenient line of ingredient products, grillable items and classic chicken-style products that we’ve become famous for.

Quorn™ is simply the brand name we use to highlight those products that contain our special ingredient. Look for the Quorn™ logo in the freezer sections of natural food stores and the natural section of supermarkets nationwide and make a positive choice for you and your family!
