Late dinner here of green veggies and my first sampling of mycoprotein. That is right, protein made from fungus. : The brand in the freezer section of the supermarket here in Oz is Quorn*, and I tried the mince. It was spur of the moment so I grabbed the remaining third of contents of a salt-reduced tomato sauce bottle added water and heated it up in a pan. Once simmering I added the frozen mince and simmered for 10 minutes.
Turned out a treat. Contents: 94% mycoprotein, some egg white, barley malt extract and carmellised sugar
Per 100 g: Energy: 413 kJ, Protein: 14.9 g, Fat: 1.9g (satd < 1g), Carbs: 1.6 g, Fibre: 7.6 g and Sodium: 58 g.
Cost: for protein content it compares same or better than fish/pies/pasties.
