Try the plant balls and reduce your carbon footprint
Few things are as synonymous with IKEA as the Swedish meatball. It’s as much part of our heritage as our most iconic pieces of furniture. In our efforts to create products that make it easier for you to make better and more sustainable everyday choices, we were determined to create a delicious alternative to the traditional meatball. Now it's here.
But why a meatball without meat? Well, plant-based foods need less resources, less water and less land to feed just as many. Producing a veggie ball makes a carbon footprint that's 20 times smaller compared to when producing a traditional meatball. Τry the veggie balls next time you visit our IKEA Restaurant or IKEA Bistro.
