Can babies eat it - my lo is 9 months and I'm not veggie but often eat quorn as a low fat alternative and wondered if he could have it too? Such as cottage pie or bolognese made with quorn mince instead of beef mince??
I do Tyler bolognase with Quorn as it dosnt have all the grissley bits you get in mince and it is high in protein. but tbh I never checked the salt content. Im pretty sure its ok though. xx xx
It contains 88 percent Mycoprotein (mushroom), free range egg white, and roasted barley malt.
Per 100g it contains 94 calories, 14.5g of protein, 4.5 g of carbohydrates (0.6g sugar)and 2g of fat. It also contains just 0.2g of sodium, so is excellent for people on a low salt diet. It's entirely gm free, as well as being free of artificial preservatives and colourings, and is approved by the vegetarian society.
Just be slightly careful. I have an allergy to Quorn and it gives me extremely stomach ache and diarrhoea. (
You shouldn't have any problems if there is no history of allergies but introduce it slowly. It also contains egg white so I would introduce that first so that you know where any adverse reaction comes from.
Here is some advice on Quorn that I found on the internet:
