What does “% of daily reference” mean?
Codex Nutrient Reference Values are standard daily values for the general population older than 36 months, designed for nutrition labelling. The percentage shows how much this amount contributes to that daily reference; it is a comparison guide, not a personalised medical target. Vitamin D, iron and zinc use ranges because their Codex values depend on sunlight exposure or dietary absorption. Sodium and saturated fat are daily maximums; potassium is a daily target. A percentage is shown only when the stored nutrient matches the Codex total or equivalent. Codex does not define a separate daily reference for each individual fatty acid.

**Quorn** is a meat substitute made from **mycoprotein**, a protein derived from a natural fungus. It has a mild flavor and a firm, slightly fibrous texture that makes it a good alternative to chicken, minced meat, or nuggets depending on the product. Quorn is often used in vegetarian dishes, but not all Quorn products are vegan, as some contain egg white.
Sweet Potato, Silken Tofu and Quorn Chili Sin Carne
A thick, smoky chili with tender sweet potato, firm Quorn mince and black beans in a spiced tomato sauce. Silken tofu is blended in at the end for a smooth, creamy finish that keeps the chili rich and spoonable.
Lentil & Quorn Lasagna with Oat Béchamel
A proper tray of lasagna without the usual meat-heavy drama: lentils bring fiber, Quorn-mince keeps the texture cozy, and the oat béchamel does the creamy diplomatic work on top. It is hearty, family-friendly.
Quorn & Red Bean Burgers
A simple veggie burger built on minced quorn, mashed red beans, mustard seed, onions, and paprika. Crisp at the edges, tender in the middle, and far more convincing than many things currently marketed as food. No bun drama required, though the burgers can certainly cope.
