IKEA is aiming high in terms of sustainable range, and this August we launched a brand new product, a true sensation for food lovers – plant balls. It is a nature-friendly and sustainable alternative to the traditional Swedish meatballs. Try saving the planet while enjoying a delicious meal – these plant balls give it all. They are made only of plant-based ingredients, thus leaving 25 times less of an ecological footprint than meatballs. It is the taste of the future.

Pasta and plant balls in delicious harmony
When Zane tasted HUVUDROLL plant balls for the first time, she was positively surprised by the texture so much resembling meatballs.
Zane made her own recipe, bringing together the great taste of pasta, tomato sauce, plant balls and cheese.
Everyone will get a chance to enjoy the meal prepared following Zane's recipe at the IKEA restaurant between 21 September and 25 October.

Swedish classics
The first IKEA meatballs were served in 1985. Almost three decades later, we started trading them to hungry visitors in Latvia. This year, we are introducing another novelty - a better version of Swedish meatballs without meat.
The new plant ball is made with vegetable protein, but has the same great taste and texture as the original. Need a proof? Visit the IKEA Restaurant and try our new traditionally served plant balls.
Available from the 1st of August.

What are the new plant balls made of?
They contain nothing but natural ingredients, including yellow peas, potatoes, onions and apples. Rapeseed oil, oat bran and rice flour are added to hold it all together, and a mix of selected spice helps achieve the perfect taste of meat.
