It’s official 👀 - beans are on trend in 2025! 🫘🫘

We are thrilled to see that @nytcooking has “beans on every menu in 2025” in their roundup of the major food moments that changed life in the last 25 years.

The backstory? #NewYorkCity has been a core focus for Beans... is How. Our #BeansOnTheMenu activations – both in 2023 and 2024 – collectively inspired 100+ restaurants across the boroughs to highlight beans on their menus. 🙌

We also partnered with NYC Government Agencies who pledged more beans in public procurement, AND we organised chef visits to inspire dialogue in older adult communities.

BUT beans aren’t just a trend.  They are a delicious, simple affordable and nutritious solution to our global health, climate, and cost-of-living challenges. 

So THANK YOU to all of the restaurants who made this possible and @kitchensense for all the strong collaboration.

What’s been eaten by humans for over 10,000 years, and will soon be found in classrooms across the UK? BEANS! 📚🫘🫘

@tasted_feed and @BeansisHow are proud to announce “The Bean Curriculum”—three fun, sensory-packed lessons designed for 8–11 year olds.

Through ...sight, touch and taste, kids explore lentils, chickpeas, and beans while learning about #sustainability, #biodiversity, and where food comes from. The curriculum incorporates TastEd’s methodology of emcouraging children to interact with and taste food in a pressure-free environment, thus creating a positive experience.

Backed by partners @usdrybeans @BoldBeanCo, @Hodmedods, the curriculum will roll out to TastEd’s network of 1700 schools across the UK, and is also available free for teachers, educators, food champions and even parents everywhere.

🌱 We’re thrilled to see the support for our launch the #BeansOnTheMenu campaign in #Singapore alongside our amazing partners @globalpulsesgpc and @stb_sg 🎉

Together, we’re putting delicious, sustainable, and protein-packed beans in the spotlight—one dish at a time. This ...year-long initiative invites restaurants across Singapore to serve up more bean-based meals, supporting our mission to double global bean consumption by 2028.

Here’s to bold flavours, better nutrition, and a brighter planet. Let’s get beans on every menu! 🫘💚 #Beansishow

Exciting News! #BeansOnTheMenu is coming to #Singapore!🇸🇬🫘🫘

#Beans will soon be the star attraction on Singaporean hotel, restaurant, café, office, school, and hospital menus thanks to a new partnership between @BeansisHow, the @Globalpulsesgpc and @STB_sg. 🫘 Over the next ...year, we’ll rally chefs and food service to get more beans into diets by featuring innovative and tasty bean dishes, tracking impact and sharing success stories. We’ll also celebrate Singapore’s vibrant foodie scene, while helping to achieve its most pressing food‑system goals.

The program was launched today at #Pulses25 with our first partners: @supersimple.sg @abillion @littlegreenkitchen.sg and Nurasa. 🙌 #BeansisHow #goodfood4all

Did you know every bean holds a #biodiversity story? 🌱🫘

By fixing nitrogen in the soil, #beans reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers and support healthier #ecosystems. Their wide genetic variety means they can grow in diverse climates, boosting crop resilience and food ...security!

More beans = stronger soils, more resilient farms, and a planet better prepared for #climatechange.

So by growing and eating more beans, we’re planting the seeds for a healthier, more resilient world. 🌍 Swipe to learn more ahead of #BiodiversityDay tomorrow 👉

Last week at the @Baxterstorey Obsessed Expo, @paulnewnham shared the magic of beans with #chefs and food service workers in celebration of their ‘Sustainable Nutrition’ mission. 🙌

"It’s the kind of win-win-win that rarely exists.🫘 But it’s real. It’s replicable. And ...it’s happening in your kitchens. And it’s not just about ingredients - it’s about your people."

Paul emphasised how by increasing the use of beans in menus by 19.6% in the last 12 months, @baxterstorey has contributed to improved soil health, enhanced dietary fibre and protein intake, supporting farmers and reducing carbon footprint - an inspiring feat. 👏

We are honoured partner to with Baxter Storey to continue driving change towards increased bean consumption for people and the planet. 🌍
