WHY BEANS?
Beans are a simple, affordable solution to our global health, climate and cost of living challenges.
- Beans are for everyone! Not just for vegetarians or those on a budget, they’re the perfect food choice for anyone looking for a nutrient-dense, sustainable food option that is kind to our bodies, the planet, and our wallets.
- Beans are nutritious! 120g cooked (half a large can) of beans provides around a third of your daily recommended fibre. It’s also packed with plant-based protein and essential nutrients like potassium, iron and folate. Regularly consuming beans can improve your digestive health, make you feel fuller longer, and help improve your overall health.
- Beans are good for the planet, helping to safeguard the environment for future generations. They are a climate-smart agricultural solution and their long shelf-life can help prevent food waste, making them a great, healthy pantry staple.
- Beans are versatile and delicious! Beans on toast may be the most iconic bean-based British dish, but beans can be prepared and incorporated into a variety of foods including meals, snacks, sauces, spreads, desserts, and even beverages.
