The first British Baked Beans could be on the breakfast menu thanks to University of ÌÇÐÄTV research
Professor Eric Holub, a plant scientist at ÌÇÐÄTV Crop Centre, has developed Haricot bean varieties which can be sown in early May and harvested as a dry grain before mid-September, matching the UK's warmer months. Until now, it has been impossible for farmers to grow the haricot variety used for baked beans in the UK because they are incompatible with the climate.
