They also have plenty of other recipes that are low in fat and high in protein like chilli con carne. Mycoprotein which is what most Quorn products are made from is high in dietary fibre which is great for regular bowel movements, this means that the harmful toxins have less time to be absorbed by the body. Quorn is good if you are on a diet as it has no cholesterol. It is also perfect for the younger members of your family even babies, so you wont have to make several different dinners, which means you spend less time in the kitchen and more time on the more important things in life.
