“I love bold beans! They have incredible flavour and texture. As a vegetarian they really up-level my meals and help me get the fiber, protein, and nutrients I need, while being delicious!”
Hey! Ah - this is so amazing to hear. I'm so thrilled to hear you're enjoying these as a veggie and can get lots of satisfaction from a super full meal.
“Been enjoying bold bean for many many years now, started with ordering them off Ocado. Yes they’re pricey but genuinely can you say you like eating red beans out of a tin, well i converted to red beans after discovering bold beans ones and realised beans aren’t meant to be slimy”
Love this Jas! We totally agree—beans should never be slimy!
It makes our day to hear that you've been enjoying our beans for so long and that we've even converted you to loving queen red beans. Quality beans really do make all the difference, and we're so happy you're on this journey with us.
Thanks for sticking with us over the years!
“Absolutely incredible beans - only issue is that I can never open the jars and there are so many beans jam packed in there that they get all squished when you inevitably have to use a spoon to extract them. Still love them though!”
Hi! Thank you for the love—and for this feedback.
We have to hermetically seal our jars to keep the beans safe and fresh inside, but I have a couple of tips to make opening them much easier. Try tapping the edge of the lid on a hard surface (avoiding the glass) to break the seal—you’ll hear a pop, and it should open easily. We swear by this method! If you're worried about your surfaces, placing a tea towel over the lid works too.
As for the beans being packed in tight, that’s all part of our mission to bring you as many incredible beans as possible per jar! But if you find they’re getting a little squished, using a softer utensil (like a spatula) instead of a metal spoon can help. Running a little water into the jar can also loosen them up. Due to natural variations in our beans, the stock can differ from jar to jar. Over time, it may become more viscous, and temperature can also affect its thickness. While we strive for consistency, factors like storage conditions and the beans' natural characteristics can influence the stock. Softer-skinned beans may break down slightly more, making the stock thicker and more coloured—but rest assured, it's just as delicious!
Hope this helps—and so glad you’re loving the beans.
“These beans have changed the way I eat. I've been looking into ways of reducing my meat intake and these beans have been the perfect substitute. I've made many of the recipes on the website and all have been delicious. Yes they are more expensive than the standard tinned beans but the taste is outstanding and definitely worth paying the extra. I'm totally hooked and won't buy any other brand.”
Hey Lizzy! Wow—this is exactly why we do what we do! We love that our beans have become your go-to and are helping you on your journey to eating less meat. There really is no substitute for top-quality beans, and we’re thrilled you’re enjoying the recipes too. Thanks so much for sharing—it means the world.
“Really love the jars of chick peas and Queen beans. Tasty enough to eat straight from the jar. Sadly the red kidney beans are so tightly packed they come out like mush as you have to dig them out of the jar.”
“The beans are great but the 'compostable packaging' that they come with is a nightmare - its really difficult to get rid of - despite what you say about it dissolving in water............
But I am your biggest fan and should have shares in the company for the number of people I have put onto using Bold Beans!”
“These beans are amazing, I have no idea how they turn humble beans into such wonderful flavour packed morsels of delicious delights. Cooked to perfection they enhanced everything I have made with them.”
“Your beans are delicious! I ordered six jars each of white beans and borlottis. They arrived promptly and are a great part of our diet. I use them hot or cold, and particularly like mixing them with shallots, red peppers, mushrooms and spinach.”
“I've always been keen on Beans and have tried canned, tetrapaks, even dried, but have never found any so tasty as Bold Bean Co's I dicovered them in my local "healthy " and very cool deli/food shop - Nourished Communities.
I love the choice of varieties, the recipe ideas but most of all the reliable quality and taste. I probably have beans every day now!”
“Obsessed!!! Most delicious beans ever (apart from my Grandmother's).
Beautifully soft, really tasty and the cooking juices all going too, making the most delicious sauces.
The shedloads of recipes on the website are so fantastic that I still have not managed to cook from the Bold Bean cookery book - still working my way through a pile of recipes I have printed out from the Bold Bean site.
Actively encouraging friends and family to try these lovely beans or giving them as presents. I just don't want them to miss out 😉
I have always loved eating beans, but the Bold Beans are something else.
The Bold Bean Co can rightly be very proud of themselves. I totally share their passion and enthusiasm for their products. They have made being a vegetarian an absolute delight 🤗
I always keep several boxes in stock with a mix of beans, just the chickpeas I have not tried yet and the relatively new baked beans....
Watch this space 😳”
“My daughter introduced me to Bold Beans, and, since then I have bought beans and the recipe book. I have been very happy with both beans and recipes, and also enjoy the occasional bean straight from the jar. Delivery has also been quick. I”
“Fabulously tasty beans. You haven’t tasted how good beans can be if you haven’t tried Bold Bean Co beans.
You will want to just spoon them out of the jar and into your mouth once you taste them.
Lovely in many dishes , soups , adding oodles of taste and nourishment. Thry make everything they are added to more nutritious and more filling.
Go on try them , you won’t regret it!!!”
“These bold beans have completely changed my views about beans . Totally love Bold beans , soft and creamy and delicious. Eat them at least twice a week now . My favourite are the organic white beans .”
