Meatless meatballs: a Swedish classic that's entirely plant-based

Which food tastes and looks like meat despite that not being one of the ingredients? That's right! Our plant ball. They have the exquisite flavour and the texture of meaty meatballs, and it goes without saying that they're basically identical, but they're made from pea protein, oats, potato and apple. And the rumours are true: when you try them, you'll be back for more.

The future is plant-based

It's clear that sustainable choices benefit everyone. So, we want to make the world a greener place with our plant balls. We sell around 1 billion meatballs a year. So, if just some of those were plant balls, it would make a huge difference.

Where vegans and meat lovers meet

Our plant balls have been developed with meat lovers in mind. They're 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 they don't contain any animal-based ingredients, they're suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.

Have a (meat) ball

Plant balls are part of our ever-expanding HUVUDROLL family and can be bought in our Swedish Food Market. You can even try them in our restaurants, where we serve them with mashed potato, cream sauce, lingonberry jam and peas. Just like the traditional meatball dish, and at the same low price.
