“I discovered Bold Beans about a month ago. As a vegetarian I'm an avid bean fan however Bold Beans have opened up a whole new library of recipes and ideas for me. So far I've had Tray bakes with Black Beans, salads with Butter Beans , Chilli Baked Beans on sourdough toast and Masa Baked Beans on a jacket potato.
I ordered online for my first trial but I have found them in my local supermarket which gives me more flexibility in buying.”
“So much better than tinned and no added nasties. Only quibble is narrow jar lid ver hard to get the beans out of the lower half. Usually end up mashed and with beany fingers”
“So far had the chickpeas which were amazing, couldn't stop eating them out of the jar before I put them in my dish, and I've had the beans, I think Mexican? Cant actually remember which type, but they were fabulous. And one jar did two lunches for me. I will be buying from you from now on.”
“Discovered you on Insta. The baked beans are amazing! The quality of the beans and the sauce is on another level from supermarket baked beans. Is there a mixed bean salad that I can just throw in some lettuce? I should explore more. Great job and excellent packaging too.”
“Best beans I ever tasted. My favourite is the smoky chilli flavour. I like to eat them with poached egg on sourdough toast and a sprinkling of grated cheddar cheese.”
“These beans seem to come from a magical place, if that's not too fanciful. They are absolutely delicious. Once you disabuse yourself of the notion that beans have to be an accompaniment and treat them as the main part of the meal, then you'll open yourself to a whole new world of taste.
Bold Bean Company is quick and efficient when you order from them.
It's also a really good move to promote recipes with the beans.”
“who knew beans would ever be my favourite food? I am OBSESSED. Queen butter beans, Queen chickpeas and all their Baked Beans are staples in my meals. As a lifelong veggie who prefers whole foods, these have been a game changer!”
“Lovely flavours and textures. I particularly like the baked beans. I suspect it's because the jars are smaller and better for someone living on their own. I find it quite hard to use up the big jars. I'm saving them for when my granddaughters come over for a meal!”
“Great beans! Worth paying a bit extra for. The book "Full of Beans" is worth buying too. It has lots of really quick tasty recipes that use the Bold Beans.”
“I’ve always loved a bean but these are on a different level. The smoky chilli baked beans are delicious with a little cheddar sprinkled on top with a slice of toasted sourdough.”
“The beans are so enticing and delicious - we’ve been eating pulses for a long time! So good. And overall, a big hit!
I enjoy the recipes because, although all very different and tasty, many of the ingredients, particularly jarred pastes and spices can be used up quickly in another. No more half empty jars etc.!
My observation is that many of the dishes are very salty - given the beans themselves are very flavoured, perhaps the taste team should review the balance with some ingredients/ amounts…..capers, anchovies, etc.”
