Our Beans

1

COOKED WITH PATIENCE

Bog standard supermarket beans are heated up quickly, to a SUPER high temp, losing the banging beany flavour along the way. We cook ours low and slow + pour the brothy beans into glass jars.

MAGIC BEANS

We choose the best beans from each harvest, specially selected for quality and FLAVOUR. Cooked with just fresh water and sea salt to preserve their natural delicious beany flavour, without any sulphites or additives.

PERFECTLY SEASONED

We season our beans throughout the cooking process like proper chefs do! Their natural flavour is then enhanced in a way you simply CAN'T replicate after.

We’d love to persuade you to try them on taste alone, but by choosing this British-grown pulse, you will also be:
