Product details
The plant ball has the taste, texture and juicy bite of a meatball – but it’s made with pea protein, oats, potatoes, onion and apple.
Includes no animal ingredients, therefore it's a good choice for vegetarians and vegans.
The plant balls go perfectly with classic meatball friends like mashed potatoes, cream sauce, peas and lingonberry jam (but you can also try them with something completely new and different, of course.)
Easily prepared from frozen in minutes. In the oven, in the microwave or on the stove.
Easily portioned. Prepare the amount needed, leave the rest in the freezer.
Just as tasty warm as they are cold, e.g. cut in half as a sandwich topping.

Yummy!KaremThe veggie meatballs are delicious! I keep coming back to purchase the Over and over. 5
Easy, delicious substitute KatharineThere are few “substitutes” that my family likes (we tend to do naturally vegetarian dishes, like primavera). However, we go out of our way to get these as an option. I love the different ways the restaurant makes them, and my daughter experiments on occasion, but mostly (at home) they simply lighten up a spaghetti and balls dinner with a flavour that everyone appreciates. Great to keep in the freezer for fast, easy dinners.4
Easy to makeRoxanaI find these so tasty and easy to make. Kids love them, I’ve put the recommended sauce but also have tried them with other mixtures depending on the pasta and they are delicious. 5

Best plant-based meatballs around! KelseyOur family is vegetarian and we have tried ALL of the plant-based meatballs around! These ones are the tastiest and the best value! 5
These are delicious andI rebuy them even though my daughter found a chunk of blue plastic in them onceTeresaYummy4
Tastes like pea sawdustRachelleI wanted to like these. Unfortunately they are a long way from being tasty. I am not a usual consumer of meat replacement foods - so maybe these aren’t too bad in that context. However I think I can safely say that I won’t purchase these again. 1

Plant balls are a hit!PatMy vegetarian daughter and meat-eating husband both love this product!5
Cooks up fastJenniferUnlike other plant-based "meat" balls available at the supermarket, these cook up from frozen in just a couple of minutes in the microwave. They also have a softer texture than some other brands. Very convenient.4
Very tasty!JeanneWhole family loves them!5
my daughters favourite Annathe best plant balls we ever had. I go often to ikea to eat and buy this for my family . 5
Great plant ballsVerified BuyerWe love these “meat” balls. They are the closest in texture to the real thing that I’ve found. Flavour is ok but not robust (therefore 4 not 5 stars). They seem to take on the flavour of sauces they are cooked with and this is nice. Highly recommend. We are frequent users of this product. 4
Good and Good 4 UMichaelSoooo tasty, we pick up 2 packs every couple of weeks.5

Heavenly flavours from the soil
We would like to inspire more people to eat more plant-based food. Why? Since it generally requires less water, less arable land and less energy to produce – and is therefore a more sustainable alternative. So that you can easily make sustainable choices in everyday life and reduce your climate footprint, our restaurant, bistro and Swedish food market all offer various plant-based alternatives. And one more thing – this food from the soil is also heavenly tasty!
Story
A buffet of good
Today’s recipe for the classic IKEA meatball rolled out from our test kitchen already in 1985. Since then, the IKEA meatball has become an icon on plates around the world and a proud example of traditional Swedish cooking. But, when we asked customers on three different continents what food they prefer, we realized we had to extend our meatball family with tasty alternatives.
“Not everyone eats beef or pork, so we went into the kitchen to create new recipes,” says David Johansson, chef and product developer at IKEA Food Services. First came the chicken ball – an alternative for those who like meat, but not necessarily red meat. “Like all our meatballs it’s just as good hot as cold, and we’ve seasoned it gently so it fits different cuisines and local flavors.”
Favorites against climate change
Sustainability was also a reason to create new options. “With the veggie ball we wanted to offer something as appreciated as the classic meatball, but plant-based and with less environmental impact,” explains David. The veggie ball has a carbon footprint that is 20 times lower than the classic meatball, the chicken ball has a carbon footprint that is four times lower. With more alternatives you can not only choose between more favorites, you can also decide how big environmental impact your meal should have.
New flavors in a classic shape
The newest edition to the family is the plant ball. It’s made with pea protein, potatoes, apple, oats and onion, but has the great taste and juicy bite of a meatball – making it perfect for everyone who wants to cut down on meat without losing out on the experience. "A lot has happened since 1985. Now, there are eatable IKEA icons for more of the many people. No matter if you’re flexitarian, vegan, meat lover, have dietary needs or cultural preferences.”
