What is Quorn?

Our range of versatile ingredients, meals and snacks aren't just varied and delicious - they're a healthy choice too. Our products are quick to prepare and good for you and your family, as they're a great source of protein and many are low in fat.

Naturally low in fat

Mycoprotein, the main ingredient in Quorn, is naturally low in fat, including saturated fat (which can contribute to poor heart health). It's also relatively low in calories overall.

High in protein

As the name suggests, mycoprotein is a high quality vegetarian protein source. It has all the essential amino acids you'd find in protein from meat like beef or chicken.

Quick and tasty

You can cook Quorn foods in your oven, grill or microwave, as you would do for meat and poultry, but often in much quicker time. Plus there's no need to defrost Quorn ingredients - you can cook them straight from frozen.

Zero cholesterol

Our ingredients (like mince and Quorn pieces) contain absolutely no cholesterol: perfect for a heart-healthy diet. In fact, recent studies suggest that eating mycoprotein may even help to reduce cholesterol.

What is Mycoprotein?

Mycoprotein is the main ingredient in all Quorn products. It's made from a member of the fungi family (like mushrooms and truffles) and is a high-quality meat-free protein that's naturally low in fat, with very few calories. It's high in dietary fibre (important for your digestive system) and has the essential amino acids your body needs, with no cholesterol or trans fats at all.

This means that Quorn ingredients and meals tend to be lower in saturated fats and calories than similar foods made with meat - as well as being delicious! Our expert chefs really know how to get the best out of mycoprotein, allowing them to create our wide range of ready meals, grills, sausages, burgers and deli slices, as well as cooking ingredients like mince, strips and pieces.
