Baked Beans is a dish that contains nuts, sometimes baked but, despite its name, is usually boiled, in a sauce. Most roasted baked beans are commercially made from haricot nuts, also known as navy nuts (various Phaseolus vulgaris) in sauce. In Ireland and England, tomato sauce is most often used, and is usually eaten on toast or as part of a full English, Scottish or Irish breakfast.
The Boston American baked beans use a sauce prepared with molasses and salted pork, a popularity that has caused the city to be nicknamed "Beantown". Nuts in tomato sauce and brown sugar, sugar, or corn syrup are widely available throughout the US.
Quebec-style Canadian beans often use maple syrup. This style is also popular in countries bordering the province of Eastern Canada.
Canned baked beans are used as a convenient meal. They may be eaten hot or cold, straight from the tin, because it is fully cooked.

Histori
The beans that are currently used to make baked beans are all native to South America and introduced to Europe around 1528. These dishes are generally described as having savory sweet taste and brownish or reddish white beans when baked, boiled, canned or otherwise cooked. According to alternative traditions, sailors carry cassoulets from southern France or northern France, and the Channel Islands, where peanut stew is very popular. Most likely, a number of regional bean recipes are united and cross-fertilized in North America and eventually emerge the culinary tradition of roasted beans known today.
While many of today's recipes are boiled, traditional beans are slowly roasted in ceramic or iron bean pots. A tradition in Maine, about cooking "pea holes", probably derived from Penobscot natives and then practiced in logging camps. The fire will be made in a stone hole and left to burn to hot coals, and then a pan with 11 pounds of bean seeds will be placed in ash, covered with dirt, and allowed to cook overnight or longer. These beans are a staple of the Maine logging camp, served every meal.
The canned beans, often containing pork, are among the first comfort foods, and in this form they are exported and popularized by US companies operating in the UK in the early 20th century. The US Food and Drug Administration declared in 1996: "For years it has been commonly recognized by consumers that the term 'bean with pork', or 'pork and peanuts' is a common or common name for a trade article containing very little Pork." The pork that is included is usually a piece of salted pork that adds fat to the plate.
Canned baked beans with small pork sausage are still available, such as variants with other additives such as chili.

English and Irish
In the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Brunei, Malaysia, and Singapore, the term baked beans usually refers to tinned beans in tomato sauce. They were originally imported from American companies, first sold in Britain in 1886 at the top grade Fortnum & amp; Mason Shop in London as an expensive foreign food.
Currently, baked beans are a staple food convenience in the UK, often eaten as part of a modern full English breakfast and especially on toast (called just 'peanuts on toast'). Baked freshly baked beans, closer to unprocessed, unprocessed, are offered by some high end brunch companies.
The best-selling brand in the UK is Heinz Baked Beans.
United States
In the United States, Bush (Bush Brothers and Company), Van Camp, B & amp; M (Burnham & Morrill Inc.), Allens, Inc., HJ Heinz Company, and Campbell Soup Company are well known producers or brands of baked beans. B & amp; M specializes in Boston-style baked beans that are often sold in peanut-shaped bottles, and canned chocolate bread, traditional accompaniment to baked beans, while Bush and Van Camp produce a variety of canned bean flavors, some styles of salty meat to taste the product.
In the New England region, baked beans are flavored with maple syrup (Northern New England), or with molasses (Boston), and are traditionally cooked with salted pork in baked beans in a brick oven for six to eight hours. In the absence of a brick oven, the beans are cooked on a peanut placed on a bed of coals placed near the outside edge of the fireplace, about one foot from the fire. Currently, baked beans can be made in a slow cooker or in a modern oven using traditional beans, Dutch ovens, or casserole dishes.
In the southern states and along the eastern US coast, nuts become tangier usually due to the addition of yellow mustard. For example, Tennessee-based Bush beans from Tennessee include mustard in most of their bean varieties. Milled beef can also be common with bacon in home versions of some of these bean styles. They may have a taste similar to Cowboy Beans, home stew, somewhat similar to chili but made with sweet baked beans.
Baked beans are a staple side dish for different types of barbecue. This is partly due to ease of handling, as it can be served hot or cold, straight from a can, making it practical to eat outdoors. Tomato sweet soy sauce also complements many types of barbecue. Cooked beans may also be baked in a casserole dish with raw meat slices, baked until cooked. Additional spices are sometimes used, such as extra brown sugar or mustard to make the sauce sharper.
Heinz roasted peanuts became very successful as an export to England, where roasted baked beans are now a staple. In America, H. J. Heinz Co. continue to sell baked beans, although they are not always widely distributed as competing American brands. Despite their international fame, there is currently a big difference between Heinz baked beans produced for the UK market (derived from the original American recipes) and the closest American equivalent product (Heinz Premium Vegetarian Beans).
American products contain brown sugar where English nuts are not, and US products contain 14 g sugar per 16 ounces of lead compared to 7 g for the English version (equalizing 140 versus 90 calories). US beans have a crisper texture and a darker color than their counterparts in the UK. This has resulted in a situation where the product is now imported back to the home country of the brand. For several years, British Heinz Baked Beans has been available in the US, either in different sizes of cans sold in the UK or in 385 grams cans (the same cans with 415 grams cans in the UK) with an "export" label with American English spelling and the word "baked" falls from the title on the label. It is sold in many US specialty stores, proving the popularity of baked beans and its appeal to expatriates. Bush, Van Camp, B & amp; M, and Heinz all produce pork-free roasted peanuts labeled as vegetarian beans, making this American cuisine available to people who abstain from pork for religious, dietary, or ethical reasons.

Health
In 2002, the British Dietetic Association allowed canned roasted pea producers to advertise the product as a contribution to the recommended daily consumption of five to six vegetables per person. The concession is criticized by cardiologists, who show high levels of sugar and salt in the product. However, it has been proven that consumption of roasted peanuts actually lowers total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, even in normo-cholesterolaemic individuals. Some manufacturers produce a "healthy" version of the product with reduced sugar and salt levels.
Flatulent stomach
Known roasted beans sometimes cause large increases in flatulence after consumption; This is due to the fermentation of polysaccharides (especially oligosaccharides) by the intestinal flora, specifically Methanobrevibacter smithii . Oligosaccharides pass through the small intestine largely unchanged; when they reach the colon, the bacteria feed on it, producing lots of flatus.
This condition is referenced in several works of popular culture. Some prominent examples include:
- The bonfire scene in the Mel Brooks movie Blazing Saddles , where the cowboy banter is punctuated by the fusillade of flatulence
- UK children's songs, "Beans, Beans, Good for the Heart"
- U.S. children's songs "Beans, Beans, the Musical Fruit"
