A recent study from Which? found you can save over £100 a year by swapping out big-brand baked beans. We tested Aldi, Asda, Lidl, Sainsbury's, Tesco and Waitrose baked beans to see what was best
Baked beans can be a good, cheap option for a relatively nutritious lunch, crammed full of fibre and protein. But the cost of a can of beans ranges massively in the shops.
On the Exhibit A podcast with Abbey Clancy, he said: “Baked beans are a really good source of protein. I’m not against people eating a can of baked beans if they pick one that doesn’t have too much sugar in the sauce.” The tin was also slightly weightier than some of the other options, tipping the scales at a hefty 420g. Something that soon became apparent when emptying the tin is that this seemingly went on the haricot beans themselves.
My initial thought was that the Sainsbury’s offering was very saucy. But after combining it with my toast, it worked quite well, and seemed to pack a bit more of a punch than some of the early tests. A quick glance at the ingredients - something I became surprisingly passionate about during my taste test - found the presence of clove and capiscum extract. But also the welcome sight of paprika, which seems to elevate the bean to the next level.Asda Baked Beans in a Rich Tomato Sauce Nutritional information per half can: 187 cal, 1g fat, 0.2g saturates, 8.6g sugar, 0.96g salt
