What is Quorn mycoprotein?

Quorn mycoprotein is a source of protein that is high in fiber and low in saturated fat. To make Quorn mycoprotein, we don’t start with livestock, we take a natural, nutritious fungus that grows in the soil. This fungus is known as Fusarium venenatum.

We then use the age-old process of fermentation – the same process used to create bread, beer and yogurt – to grow Quorn mycoprotein. And because producing Quorn mycoprotein takes 95% less CO², than typical ground beef¹, it is a great example of a more sustainable and nutritious protein source for a growing global population.
