IKEA Rolls Out Vegan Swedish Meatballs
According to IKEA’s Managing Director of Food Services, Michael La Cour, the store’s “original vision was to create a better everyday life” for people like college students and families that want to have beautiful furniture without breaking the bank and “the same concept applies for food,” he says. “IKEA in general wants to be a modern, forward-thinking company and we want to do the same with our food.”
As people have gotten more concerned with what they’re eating and their overall carbon footprint, IKEA has adapted and “the veggie ball is the first example of the journey on which we will continue,” he states.
The veggie ball, or the GRÖNSAKSBULLAR (say that three times fast), will be served in a plate with ten balls for $4.49. It has 100 less calories than the original beef/pork combination meatball and about half the fat.
After a few trial runs, the store settled on a final version of the veggie ball that has actual pieces of vegetables visible to the eater.
On average, IKEA stores open with restaurants with 400-500 seats and serve 600 million guests annually. Now all of those people can snack on a vegan treat in between shopping.
