Baked beans are an American/English invention. The genus “phaseolus”, which encompasses most of the common beans found in grocery stores, are native to the Americas. Baked Beans were a Native American dish first combined with maple syrup. This was adapted by colonists, who used brown sugar or molasses instead to avoid Britain’s high tax rate for sugar.
Baked beans became a staple, so much so that Boston became known for it. A century later the American food company HJ Heinz started a canning it at their first factory in 1885. A year later, a factory was opened in the UK and baked beans quickly became part of the UK’s breakfast. The UK version started making their less sweet than the US version and cut out the pork in WW2 due to rationing.
