What to buy at Better Food: Delicious beans that you can eat straight from the jar! We stock a variety of Bold Bean’s products across both their Queen and Organic ranges. Varying from their Queen Butter Beans and Black Beans to Organic White Beans and Chickpeas. All of their beans across both ranges are specially selected for flavour and quality, sourcing the beans from where they grow best and picking the best from each harvest. They are then cooked low and slow in their jars with fresh water and a pinch of salt to make an amazing bean stock.

Mission and values: Bold Bean Co is on a mission to make people obsessed with beans, by giving them the best of beans. They believe that beans are crucial to the future of food and the ideal ingredient to take vegetarian and vegan cooking to the next level. They want to put top quality beans at the focus of delicious meals and recipes, rather than being used as a filler food.

Founder and CEO, Amelia, became interested in beans whilst working alongside chefs in the restaurant and food sustainability space. She was inspired by how chefs were using beans creatively at the centre of the dish. Amelia’s interest grew into an obsession when she learnt more about the benefits of beans for our health and the environment.

Amelia now works alongside her team who are equally obsessed with beans. As a brand they live and breathe their mission.

We love them because… Not only do their beans taste incredible and fresh, but they’re rich in natural protein, high in fibre and incredible for your gut. They’re great for soil too as they act as a natural fertiliser by fixing nitrate levels in our soils. We also absolutely love their cooking creativity and the amazing bean recipes that they share with their community.
