Saucy Baked Beans

Come with us to Naples in Italy to discover how haricot beans are turned into one of our favourite teatime meals.

Find out how haricot beans become the baked beans we know and love. (And did you know that baked beans are usually stewed, and not baked at all? Neither did we!)

 

Key learning points are:

  • How haricot beans are grown
  • How baked beans are prepared and cooked
  • Why baked beans are good for you
  • How to make your own baked beans 

 

Pupils will also get the chance to ask Rosa their own questions about baked beans.
