When we think of IKEA, two things usually come to mind, furniture and meatballs, right? Almost as much as their assembly manuals and Billy bookcases.
IKEA is a synonym of Swedish meatballs. Their meatballs have fans worldwide, but IKEA has also launched a sibling-a 3-D printed vegan meatball that’s good for the environment and promotes innovation and sustainability.
The furniture company will release them at job interviews and to be tried out by the employee candidates.
IKEA’S New Vegan 3D Printed Meatballs: Delicious or NOT?!
This snack is a demonstration of the classic IKEA snack meeting the innovative version. The 3 D printed meatball is part of their newest recruitment effort named Taste the Future.
How does this connect to the bread and butter of IKEA, one may wonder.
Namely, IKEA sums up its global mission through the lens of its iconic snack.
Everything begins out small, according to the popular brand, so from a simple Swedish meatball, their staple snack has now a meatless option with a small price tag and a smaller footprint.
This is definitely innovative thinking, both in terms of style and environment. The image of the vegan meatball doesn’t look the tastiest. However, the effort is worth the praise.
IKEA notes that its goal is to produce healthy and sustainable options that are accessible to all, as well as affordable. To fulfill their goals, they need imaginative people who know that we all have a right to feel like we’re at home.
IKEA aims to innovate the future of life at home through technology, data, home furnishing, and retail. They need architects of the future and down-to-earth data scientists, common sense creators, and cyber guardians.
Innovation and Sustainability Are Part of IKEA
The company seems to have bright plans for the future and the eco-friendly 3 D printed vegan meatballs are only the start. If anyone tries the vegan 3 D printed meatball, let us know how they taste!
Nonetheless, the meatless meatball was introduced in 2020 and they named it plant ball. The idea behind it was to lower their climate footprint.
The plant ball is made using oats, potatoes, apples, and pea protein. The flavor uses tomatoes, mushrooms, and roasted veggies to create the umami taste.
Sustainability is a good enough reason to give the 3 D meatball a try; however, in order to be able to taste it, you’ll need to be interviewed by IKEA.
