Unusually soft, mushy, oddly bland': the best (and worst) baked beans, tasted and rated by Felicity Cloake
Briefly

An exploration of baked beans reveals significant differences in taste, sugar content, and price between brands. Many consumers often mindlessly choose a standard brand without realizing better options are available. For instance, sugar levels range from 9% to 13% of the recommended daily allowance, which may concern some shoppers. The review highlights the Bold Bean Co's product as a gourmet choice, while M&S’s baked beans emerge as a great all-rounder with appealing flavors, suggesting that there's more to this staple food than initially perceived.
Small pleasures don't come much cheaper than baked beans served on buttered toast with a light dusting of grated cheddar, showcasing comfort food at its best.
If you're after a gourmet experience, I'd recommend the Bold Bean Co's rich tomato baked beans, reminiscent of handmade beans from upscale cafes, intensely savory and herb-packed.
