Bush's vegetarian baked beans are overly sweet, veering towards dessert rather than a savory side dish, with high sugar content primarily from tomato puree and brown sugar.
While Bush's Original Baked Beans achieves the ideal sweet-savory balance and smoky finish, its vegetarian counterpart fails due to excessive sweetness and a lack of savory components.
To counteract overly sweet canned beans, consider adding vinegar or hot sauce, which can enhance the flavor and bring balance to the overly saccharine profile.
The sugar content in Bush's vegetarian baked beans is striking, with a single 28-ounce can containing a whopping 78 grams of sugar, rendering it excessively sweet.
