National Baked Bean Month

July is National Baked Bean Month in the United States.

Baked beans have a name that does not actually describe them accurately, for they are stewed, not baked. They are served in a sauce.

There are many different varieties and types of baked beans across the world, which use some of the many different varieties of bean available. In the UK, the most popular type of canned baked bean is that based on the American Heinz Baked Beanz, and its derivatives and imitators. These baked beans are haricot beans which have been stewed in a tomato and sugar sauce. They are an important part of the Full English breakfast, are frequently eaten on toast, and are actually more popular in the UK than they are in the US.

Tinned baked beans are available in many different types. They can come in different sauces, be made from different varieties of beans - sometimes several in one tin - and can have other ingredients added to them. Small sausages added to cans of baked beans are popular in the UK.
