宜家有了一個好點子,要推出著名瑞典肉丸的素食款,幾個月後你就能在菜單上看見了。

為了促進可持續食品業務的發展,宜家的廚師不用肉就能做出這家家具連鎖品牌的傳奇美食。這家零售品牌周四說,所謂的「素食肉丸」就是利用黃豆蛋白、燕麥、土豆、洋蔥和蘋果做出仿肉美食,「外觀和味道都很像肉」。

宜家全球食品業務部門的健康與可持續發展經理SharlaHalvorson對這一消息做出回應說:「在宜家,我們每年售出10億多肉丸。想像一下如果我們能讓一些愛吃肉丸的人選擇素食肉丸。」

「為了減少宜家食品業務的氣候足跡(碳排放量),我們需要減少在售的傳統肉丸的產量。有了新品素食肉丸,我們就不必忍痛割棄人人都愛的宜家肉丸,而是為愛吃葷的人提供一個更環保的替代食品。」

在宜家餐廳,這款素食肉丸將會搭配土豆泥、越橘果醬和奶油醬出售,這和原來的肉丸一樣,價格也不變。

但消費者想要吃到這款美食還需一些時日。這款素食肉丸將於8月份在歐盟國家首推,幾個月後會在北美、中東和亞太地區的門店出售
