If you feel like going meat-free, there is a range from Quorn which originated from the UK in 1978. Quorn products’ main ingredient is Mycoprotien, a nutritionally healthy source of protein by a process of fermentiation. That’s similar to yeast in bread, using a natural nutritious fungus from the soil and fermenting it to produce a dough called Mycoprotein. Mycoprotein has been clinically proven to reduce blood cholesterol among people who are suffering from high cholesterol and help manage diabetes by contributing to reduction of blood glucose and insulin levels.
