Product Review: Quorn Vegan Burgers (Plus a strange question)

[quakerboy]

4. Ah.

Didn't realize there were 2 sorts of burger. My mistake.

I was mentally speculating as to what it could be. In bio classes, cultures like yeasts always seemed to me to have some slightly animal characteristics along with plantish characteristics.

However, further research reveals more. Wikipedia just this in its entry on Cholesterol: "Cholesterol is the principal sterol synthesized by animals, predominantly in the liver; however, small quantities can be synthesized in other eukaryotes such as plants and fungi."

So, given the predominant ingredient is "mycoprotein", Which Wikipedia says is "protein from fungi", that seems to be the most likely answer.
