Quorn products in general

I'm not a vegetarian but I do have a lot of friends that are so I do eat a lot of meat free products as it is easier to just cook quorn rather than make to separate meals for when they come round to eat. I have grown quite fond of quorn and don't mind the taste. I also find that it is much easier for my children to eat as it is very soft and they don't notice the difference. One of the things I like to cook is a good old stew using the quorn chicken style pieces. This goes down a treat with my friends.... 1. Boil some water in a pan and add about 6 vegetable stock cubes (I use oxo) Add 1 onion chopped. 2. Add carrots, potatoes, ...  Read the complete review

Quorn is a vegetable substitute for meat but to me it is nothing like the texture, or consitency of meat. The feel of the pieces in my mouth is really enough to make me want to push the plate away and leave the table in disgust. It is made from a highly nutritious and totally vegetarian mycoprotein which is an excellent source of dietary fibre. It is naturally low in fat and calories so is likely to be of benefit to those trying to lose, or control weight. 100grms of minced quorn contains 2g of fat, while conventional lean minced beef contains around 16g. Quorn contains no cholestrerol and tests have shown that it may even reduce ...  Read the complete review

I've never really been a big meat eater, even before i turned veggie a few years ago. I decided to finally take the plunge because ethically, eating meat was not something which sat comfortably with me (Dont worry, i promise not to preach! My other half is still a carnivore) and i deal with other people making their own choices in life, but personally it just doesn't sit right. Well... you know that deal i made about not preaching? Maybe ill just have a little preach... :P I know this is a review about quorn, but i just though it might be useful first to specify the different types of vegetarianism. A few too many times i have had the conversation; "Oh, ...  Read the complete review

I have been a vegetarian since I was eleven years old when I decided I didn't want to eat meat anymore as I didn't like the idea of eating animals. Back in 1996, there were not that many products around for vegetarians to choose from. Nowadays there is a massive range of products to suit a vegetarian diet. Here, I will be reviewing Quorn Mince which is quite a popular product for vegetarians. What Is Quorn? Quorn Mince is a meat free alternative to minced beef or pork. It is made from mycoprotein which is apparently a nutritious member of the fungi family. The Quorn slogan is associated with many products, not just mince. Quorn also produce burgers, ...  Read the complete review

I do not buy a lot of pre prepared or processed food, but Quorn is one of them. If you have not tried it before you would think that all Quorn is the same, tastes the same but it does not. The Quorn which imitates red meat is different from that which is meant to be a substitute for chicken. Personally I prefer the white Quorn it really does have the texture and taste of chicken, but I prefer not to think of it as a meat substitute more as a food in its own right. For example you get Tofu from soya beans which you can cut into blocks and fry, and it?s the same with Quorn. It is made from a mushroom protein rather than soya beans and is processed into a variety of ...  Read the complete review
