IKEA buffets are experimenting with insect menus.

March 6, 2023

The goal is to get people to think about how much meat they are consuming and encourage them to consider alternative sources of protein. New mealworm meatballs developed by the IKEA Food Lab. They came up with not only meatballs with worms. Also bug burgers, soilless salad, "green" ice cream and a vegan hot dog. These are all experimental dishes and will not be available in all IKEA stores. But this is a possible future for our nutrition, as the insect world is more environmentally friendly than farmed animals. Sooner or later the world will come to this. It remains to be hoped that it will be edible to taste.
