Mrs. D.

I copied and pasted one of the paragraphs so others could see it.


Quorn is made from the soil mould Fusarium venenatum strain PTA-2684 (previously misidentified as the parasitic mold Fusarium graminearum [13]). The fungus is grown in continually oxygenated water in large, otherwise sterile fermentation tanks. During the growth phase, glucose is added as a food for the fungus, as are various vitamins and minerals (to improve the food value of the resulting product). The resulting mycoprotein is then extracted and heat-treated to remove excess levels of RNA. Previous attempts to produce such fermented protein foodstuffs were thwarted by excessive levels of DNA or RNA; without the heat treatment, purine, found in nucleic acids, is metabolised by humans, producing uric acid, which can lead to gout.[

I then said to myself "what is better?" Soil mould fusarium venenatum strain PTA-2684 (previously misidentified as the parasitic mold Fusarium graminearum 13), or a little piece of my teriyaki grilled chicken.???

I can't get past the words soil mould Fusarium venenatum strain PTA 2684. I don't even know what this is.

lol

Would you try this? that's what I really would like to know. Say, someone brought some Quorn over to your house, would you try it?
