Sabrina and her team threw themselves into an intense exploration phase, visiting suppliers across the world. “The first step was to look into alternative protein sources. We quickly decided that we didn’t want to go for soy since there are environmental downsides to the cultivation. Eventually, we decided on pea protein.”
A plant ball made with pea protein, oats, potatoes, onion and apple, has the taste and juicy bite of the meatball. A tasty choice when you want to eat less meat – but love meatballs.

Plant Based FoodAlanDelicious 👍🏻
Great with gravy and suitable for non meat eaters.
Price point worthitAnonymous reviewerI like the texture and Taste. Totally happy because I bought it at a discount price. I feel this price reflects the product better its vegan so why pay so much as the beef meat balls.
OilySynDisappointing taste, boring presentation.
GRÖNSAKSKAKA Vegetable medallion and ALLEMANSRÄTTEN Vegetable balls were much much better.
Kind of WeirdH.It's great that there's a vegan option for the meatball but it's no way close to the beef or chicken meatball although I pair it with the same brown meatball sauce.
Also I was suprised when it's only 500g instead of 1kg, I was just shopping a bunch of stuffs so didn't noticed it back then but thank god I was only cooking for two so it was just enough to eat. I'm so not going to buy this again, maybe I would only but only if i'm dining at the Ikea restaurant.

Story
A plant ball for meat lovers (and for everyone else)
For the first time since the launch in 1985, the much-loved IKEA meatball faces serious competition. The new plant ball is made with pea protein, oats, potatoes, apples and onion, but has the look, taste and juicy bite of a meatball.
When product developer Sabrina Anania-Stepanian first got the assignment, the mission was straight forward – and mega challenging. She was to develop the icon product of the future: a plant-based ball that tastes and feels like a meatball. The first prototype needed to be ready in just six months.
Based on pea protein
The perfect meaty taste and texture
There’s a science to extracting protein from vegetables. So, Sabrina and her co-workers finished their research and partnered up with experts in the field. Next came the more hands-on development. “We first looked at getting the texture just right, then at achieving the right taste. We had several development sessions and tastings before we were happy”, says Sabrina.
Function solution
Try a super savoury, Scandi-inspired plant ball
Can pea protein, oats, potatoes, onion and apple feel and taste like meat? Yes! The HUVUDROLL plant ball is based on these five traditional, Scandinavian ingredients – beefed up by natural flavouring and balanced by mushroom, tomato, lemon, black pepper and more. Still, it’s got the look, taste and juicy texture of a meatball. Plant balls go perfectly with classic meatball friends, or why not try them in a curry, or served with kimchi or grains. Have a bite!
