British baked beans become reality after successful Lincolnshire harvest
By Chris Baynes and Linsey SmithBBC News
British-grown beans on Toast is to become a reality after The First commercial crop of haricot beans was successfully harvested in Lincolnshire.
The UK's farmers had previously been unable to grow the Variety - used for Baked Beans - because it was unsuited to the country's climate.
But University of Warwick scientists developed a specially adapted seed that can thrive in British soil.
Farmer Andrew Ward said This Week 's harvest was " very exciting".
Mr Ward, who grew the legumes in a 13-acre field in Leadenham, said it had been " one of The Most stressful experiments" due to unpredictable weather and the need for specialist harvesting equipment.
A smaller-scale trial in 2022 had failed due to the summer heatwave.
The new Variety , named the Capulet, took 12 years to develop and could reduce the UK's reliance on imported beans.
The country consumes around two million tins of Baked Beans A Day , all of them made from haricot grown in other countries such as the US, Canada, Ethiopia and China.
Some health food brands have attempted to market British-grown fava beans as " Baked Beans " but they have lacked Mass Appeal due to the difference in taste to haricots.
Rebecca White , a crop specialist from agriculture consultants Agrii and a partner on The Project , said British families were " baked bean connoisseurs".
She Said : " They will only accept the familiar taste and texture of haricot beans on Toast - and this is what we have given them. "
Half of the crop will be tinned and half be used as seeds next year.
Mr Ward said: " The only seed that is available in The World of this Variety is what we have here.
" We need to replant next year to grow the availability of British Baked Beans and reduce our reliance on imports. "
The Seeds can be sown in early May and harvested as a dry grain in September during the UK's warmer months.
Prof Eric Holub, from the university's Life Sciences department, said the beans had been bred from " inherited material that had been used here on the university farm in the 1970s and 80s".
" It was put into storage, and it was 2011 that I realised that there was some valuable material and I started reviving it, " he told The Bbc in June.
