Guest guest Posted July 28, 2002 Report Share Posted July 28, 2002 I have seen it at Whole Foods in SF and Berkeley, but haven't tried it. Note: It is NOT vegan, as it contains some egg and dairy products. The protein is derived from mushrooms but is not a whole food. Their lab produced it: mycoprotein. Claimed to be highly digestible, and yet it's fermented, which most nutritionists will tell you is generally not good for digestion (ditto for fungi for many people). But if someone isn't vegan and willing to check it out, go for it. I try not to eat too much processed foods, but if it were vegan I would at least try it, too. Here's a little blurb from their Web site(www.quorn.com): Quorn products typically contain between 11 to 15 grams of protein per 100 grams, most of which comes from mycoprotein. Small amounts of protein also come from egg albumen and milk proteins added in the manufacter of Quorn products. ----Original Message Follows---- " Chandna, Alka " <alka.chandna " ' ' " [sFBAVeg] FW: AR-SF: Fwd: East Bay Vegetarians -- Channel 5 request Sun, 28 Jul 2002 18:01:01 +0200 howarddy [howarddy] Saturday, July 27, 2002 2:24 AM ar-sf; veg-sf AR-SF: Fwd: East Bay Vegetarians -- Channel 5 request ----- Forwarded message from howarddy2 ----- Fri, 26 Jul 2002 02:31:10 +0000 howarddy2 howarddy2 East Bay Vegetarians -- Channel 5 request howarddy Anyone consume this new product?? ---------------------- Forwarded Message: --------------------- " Lombana, Claudia " <Lombana " 'howarddy2' " <howarddy2 East Bay Vegetarians Thu, 25 Jul 2002 14:00:50 -0400 Hi Howard. My name is Claudia Lombana and I'm a producer for Channel-5 in San Francisco. I'm working on a story on a meat substitute product called " Quorn " . Do you know anyone who eats it? I'm looking for a consumer of quorn that would be willing to answer a couple of simple questions on camera. Can you help? Just let me know. Thanks a lot.
