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. Next came the salmon and cod ball. It contains pieces of salmon that are too small to be used as whole fillets. “And since it’s very tasty meat, we thought, why not make delicious fish balls of it instead?” says David.

vegetable balls taste badLynnI thought I would try these, but they don't taste good and I left them on the plate.
Perfect ball for meat or not meat eaters!WinnieThese are so delicious. My 2 year old granddaughter asks to go to IKEA weekly just for lunch. They will be on our holiday table along side the meat dishes.
YummyAngelaGreat value and taste for the price. Vegetarian or not it’s perfect
TerriblePatriciaI love vegetables, so after having the beef meatballs I thought I would buy the vegetable ones. They were terrible. Tasted like mushed peas. Had to throw them out. Very disappointed as they weren't cheap. I had a return to the store after I had tried them and the clerk said if I had kept the package I could have received my money back. Wish I had.
Cook Time is for a 700 Watt MicrowaveLawrenceI didn't buy it yet because the time to cook on the bag is for a 700 watt microwave, which is not the current standard. Most current microwaves are rated for 1100 watts. Please advise.

Tasty & Healthy HanaeIt’s healthy, but still tasty. If the price was under $10, I will buy it regularly.
Tasty veggie ballsEllenWe keep these in the freezer and pop some in the air fryer when we need some veg protein. Very tasty! I'm not sure why they are so expensive.
Easy addition to summer salads.LindaLove the simplicity of adding these to summer salads and sandwiches. No need to waste time in food prep or over a hot stove.

Everyone loves these. Grandparents ro grandkids!JeannieWe have many eating styles in our family. The vegetarians, and the meat eaters are happy with these. They taste better than beef meatballs!
Not a fanTrinaI had these type of meatballs 3-4 years ago and they were lovely. Taste wonderful. These new meatballs, however are the worst thing I’ve ever put in my mouth.
A Great Meat AlternativeNoelI am so, so glad these plant-balls are available as a meat option. It's also great that this kind is gluten-free. They go well with the dill mustard, too.
We love these!SharonThese make mealtime so easy. They are good with pasta and marinara, baked and added to soups at the last minute, or in sandwiches and wraps.
Tastes goodAnjaliTastes good
Vegetarian meatballsR.These vegetarian meatballs taste great. This is something we will pick up for a quick dinner. All we do is add some mashed potatoes and a veggie and we are good to go!

Heavenly flavors 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 tastes heavenly!
Story
A buffet of good
Today’s recipe for the classic IKEA meatball rolled out from our test kitchen 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.”
New flavors in a classic shape
Recreating the meatball without meat
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 edible IKEA icons for more of the many people. No matter if you’re flexitarian, vegan, meat lover, have dietary needs, or cultural preferences.”
