Heinz Baked Beans really are the Best
I've been comparing Baked Beans and buying tons of different brands and comparing the ingredients. Almost all different brands were less nutritious in other ways. For instance, most other brands had half the tomatoe content of Heinz. Heinz has 34% Tomatoes. Waitrose own brand is only 20%, Whole Earth Organic 13%, Tesco 20%.
The only brands that come close are Sainsburys at 33% and Branston which is actually higher at 37%. However Branston comes with 2g more sugar per half can and typically labeled as 400 calories per tin, compared to to 320 calories of Heinz. Also taste test, all other brands tasted inferior, except Branston which came remarkably close. Infact it's vice versa, but if we are going for healthier, than Heinz is still king. Click Here for Comprehensive Nutrition Information on Vitamins and Minerals in Canned Baked Beans. They are one of the most nutrient dense foods you can eat. Also while Branston Beans are £1.30 at Tescos for a 4 pack. Heinz Baked Beans you can get 8 pack (2x4) at Iceland for £3. Is the extra 40p worth it to get Heinz? I think so. What does everyone else think? Message end. |

Branston beans are better than Heinz, more beans in the sauce and slightly cheaper. Heinz do beat all the store brands though.

Sainsbury's beans are the best, and the ones with little sausages also have the best tasting sausages too.

Heinz beans are very watery. I prefer Branston. The sauce is thicker.

Tesco are selling their everyday value beans for 14p (Heinz are priced 70p), how could anyone justify opting for heinz!

Heinz are the definitive baked beans for me, and the default brand I buy, but I do like a little change sometimes.
I've bought Branston, M&S own brand, and Lidl 'Campo Largo' in the past, and enjoyed them. |

Heinz beans have not tasted good since 1995, Branston ALL the way.

I cannot notice a 56p difference in taste, and I'm sure many pro-Heinz people would not be able to tell between the two in a blind taste test.

I can't see why anyone needs to 'justify' anything. I'm not going to buy something cheaper just because it's cheaper. |

It is personal opinion to what is best. i not that fussy about Heinz to be honest, but then again I gone off a lot of Heinz stuff anyway.
Branston I think is far better and Sainsburys own is ok as well. i tried some Co-op ones a couple of weeks ago, never again. |

Branston are the best, a rich sauce, a soft bean, makes all the difference.

I like Branstons beans as well. Heinz are OK too, but in my opinion even the cheapest of cheap can of beans if heated with some butter, a little salt & lots of pepper taste great!

The way I see it, Tesco value beans still count as a veg intake, and I can't see much of a quality gap between it and Heinz, so for 7p per half can serving, I would never buy Heinz at 70p!

Heinz is only 36p a can if you buy from Iceland. Also where is this magical 14p a can? I can only see 25p a can on the website.
