The meatless meatball – a Swedish classic that’s entirely plant-based
IKEA believes that small changes can make a big difference. That’s why we created the plant ball that has the same look, taste, and same juicy bite as our classic Swedish meatball. A more sustainable choice with the same deliciousness. And rumour has it, once you’ve tasted it, you’ll be back for more.
The future is plant-based
Making sustainable choices benefits us all, and we plan to make the world a greener place, one plant ball at a time. We sell around 1 billion meatballs a year, so converting just some of them into plant balls will make a real difference and get us closer to our goal of being climate positive by 2030.
Where vegans and meat lovers meet
Developed with meat lovers in mind, the plant ball is made from pea protein, oats, potato and apple. The meaty taste is achieved by adding umami flavours, such as mushroom, tomato and roasted vegetables. And because there are no animal-based ingredients it’s suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets.
Have a ball
The plant ball is part of our ever-expanding HUVUDROLL family and can be bought in our Swedish Food Market. You can even try the plant ball in our restaurants where it’s served with mashed potatoes, cream sauce, lingonberry jam and peas – just like the traditional meatball plate – and at the same low price.
A plant-based alternative for home cooking
Meet VÄRLDSKLOK, a plant-based mince. A versatile meat-free option, it can be used to make many dishes at home. It tastes great and has a low climate footprint. You could say that this is our most “IKEA” food product yet because you get to assemble your own more sustainable meatball – no Allen key required.
