Baked beans are considered a British staple, especially when it comes to traditional British breakfast. In a quest to find out which is the best-rated brand in the UK market, you’d be shocked to find out that it’s not the iconic Heinz.

Baked beans are so versatile. They can be eaten on toast, as part of a cooked breakfast, or even as a side dish. The best thing about baked beans is that you can eat it straight from the can, either hot or cold.

In a survey conducted by Which?, which compared big brands with smaller labels, it was found that Heinz’s famous Baked Beans got beaten by Aldi ’s Bramwells Baked Beans in a Rich Tomato Sauce. And you'll be even more shocked to find out that Heinz took the fifth place and got beaten by the supermarkets ' own brands of baked beans!

To find out which beans were the best, 66 blindfolded tasters were asked to rank a variety of beans from Heinz and Branston, as well as supermarket own-brands, including Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, and Aldi. The tasters rated the beans based on aroma, texture, and flavour, with each product being sampled without knowing which brand it was.
