What looks and tastes like meat, but contains no meat? Our plant ball of course! It has the look, taste and juicy bite of its meaty counterpart, but its ingredients are all plantbased. And rumour has it, once you’ve tasted it, you’ll be back for more.
The meatball reimagined
The plant ball is proof that a less meaty future can be just as delicious, whether you’re a meat lover or not. Made with pea protein, potatoes, oats, onion and apple, it has the same taste and juicy bite of the IKEA meatball – minus the meat. Instead, the perfect meaty taste is achieved by adding umami flavours, like mushroom, tomato and roasted vegetables.
A whole new ball game
The world is facing an urgent climate crisis. Realising the importance of taking immediate action, at IKEA, we're working hard to deliver on our ambition to become climate positive by 2030. One piece of the puzzle is increasing the proportion of plant-based food – such as the all-new plant ball.“We sell a billion meatballs a year at IKEA. Imagine if we could turn just a fraction of those into plant balls. That would have a real impact on our carbon footprint.”

What are you waiting for? The plant balls are available frozen at the Swedish Food Market.
