Creativity in the kitchen.
Being a vegetarian or simply being interested in healthy eating doesn’t mean eating bland veggies every day! Interesting meat alternatives and ingredients of all kinds can be found in the supermarkets, allowing us to be creative in the kitchen whatever our eating lifestyle may be.
A top selling frozen meat free brand.
A recent innovation in meat substitution is now extremely popular in the UK and Ireland: Quorn can be found in supermarket and health food shops as both a cooking ingredient and pre-prepared ready meals. Recently featured on “The Today Show” as one of the forty foods with health benefits for people over forty, Quorn was the top-selling frozen meat free brand in natural food stores.
What makes Quorn so popular?
Apart from being a comparatively recent breakthrough in meat alternatives, there are many nutritional reasons why Quorn is recommended. Unlike most meat substitutes, Quorn is free of soy, a common allergen. Also, its health benefits are comparable to meat, since it contains amino acids. Plus, it has zero cholesterol and is low in fat, allowing you to feel satisfied with fewer calories.
What are Quorn products made of?
All Quorn products are made with mycoprotein, a healthy meat-free form of high quality protein, developed to prevent the world from becoming deficient in protein-rich food.
Environmentally friendly too.
Research shows that the embedded carbon in producing Quorn is at least a third less than that in best quality minced beef, although it is believed more detailed studies will evidence an even greater variance.
A great variety of meals.
There are many different dishes you can prepare using Quorn. For example, consumers’ top five favorite healthy recipes include: Quorn Spaghetti Bolognese, Quorn Cottage Pie, Chilli with Quorn, Quorn Lasagne and Quorn Sausages with Garlic Mash and Onion Gravy. Vegans and health-food proponents had never before enjoyed such a wide variety of meals.#
