What brand of baked beans do you give to your little one?

Introducing my little one to baked beans! I’m going to make jacket potato with baked beans and cheese for dinner tomorrow but looked at the Heinz baked beans we usually have and there’s no way I could give her that looking at the salt and sugar content! The ones with reduced salt and sugar have sweeteners so just don’t know which one is best or safe for them? Only going to be having a little bit too and not the whole can!

You can make your own easily enough

Have a google!

I had a look and couldn't find any that had sugar/salt levels I was comfortable with, so will probably introduce as an occasional treat after age 2

I buy Tesco’s own brand reduced salt & sugar ones, they will all have preservatives in etc. x

I make a really basic homemade version- literally a tin of chopped tomatoes or passata, some tinned beans (borlotti or cannellini) and some paprika for a bit of flavour, and just let it cook for 15/20mins until it's reduced a bit

We also get the Tesco own reduced salt and sugar. They probably aren’t the best due to other added sweeteners but we don’t give them that often! My little one, LOVES them!

According to Yuka app Waitrose baked beans is one of the best.

They do Heinz reduced salt and sugar

We don’t give them to ours for this reason and have also asked nursery not to give them.

I just use Tesco own brand reduced salt/sugar. She has such a small portion I don’t tend to worry (inc when we only have the normal version in the house) x
