Quorn, pieces, as purchased

Quorn pieces are a meat alternative made from mycoprotein, a protein source produced from a fungus. The figures here describe the pieces as purchased, rather than after cooking or adding other ingredients. They mainly provide protein and fibre, with 14g of protein and 8.3g of fibre per 100g. This amount also contains 1.4g of fat and 0.75g of salt.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while fibre helps maintain normal bowel function. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Sauces and other ingredients added during preparation can change the overall salt, fat and energy content of a meal. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
