5 Reasons Zero Sugar Added Baked Beans Are a Summer Must-Have

Though they’ve always been a pantry staple, beans have risen to cultural-icon status, now cosplaying as birthday cards and necklace pendants. You can even wear beans on your feet. A fan group on the internet has amassed 175,000 loyal bean-atics, devoted to photos of beans in mouthwash bottles, film cameras and toothpaste tubes. And online, it’s always bean o’clock.

But people aren’t just looking at photos of beans and wearing bean paraphernalia — they’re eating plenty of them too. On blogs and recipe sites, beans star in everything from salads to pastas, dips and more. Summer barbecues, of course, are nothing without a side of beans.

And it shows: The U.S. canned-bean industry was worth a cool $5.65 billion in 2023 and is projected to rake in $15.5 billion by 2033. It’s all really just common sense: Beans are hearty, thrifty, versatile, good for you and sustainable.

But not all canned beans are created equal. Since A. J. Bush, the founding father of modern beanery, opened his tomato cannery in Tennessee in 1908, Bush’s Beans has been synonymous with quality and flavor. And to this day, they’re made with meticulously sourced ingredients and slow-cooked to develop the rich, sweet and savory taste that’s made them a beloved staple in kitchens across America.

For those who love the taste of Bush’s signature baked beans but are looking to watch their sugar intake, there’s now an option on the shelf: Bush’s Zero Sugar Added Baked Beans. They pack in the same great flavor as Bush’s Original Baked Beans without any added sugar. To learn more about why these mighty beans belong in your grocery cart, drag and drop an image below.
