Baked beans are a classic comfort food made primarily of white beans, such as navy or haricot beans, slow-cooked in a flavorful tomato-based sauce often sweetened with sugar or molasses. Originally popularized in English and American cuisines, they have roots in Native American recipes and are now enjoyed globally. Typically canned for convenience, baked beans are a good source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients like iron and folate. However, their nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation methods, with some versions containing added sugars or high sodium levels. Despite this, they offer a filling and versatile option that can be eaten as a side dish, incorporated into meals, or enjoyed on their own. When choosing baked beans, look for reduced-sugar or low-sodium options to maximize their health benefits.
