Bang in Some Beans: The Aisles of Power

The first episode of our Bang in Some Beans podcast series has gone live!

Listen in as Melissa Hemsley Chef dives into why beans are good for our health, good for the planet and good for our wallets. Tune in every Tuesday for the next six weeks as we explore:

🛒 How supermarkets shape what we eat

🌱 How fava beans could transform British farming

🍳 The truth about the Great British Breakfast

💪 Why athletes are powering up with plants

🫶 What beans do for our gut, mood and hormones

In episode one, Ian Theasby, one half of the super-influencer recipe developer and food writing team, BOSH! tells us how and why supermarkets can change the conversation about beans; Dr Jo Lunn, head nutritionist at Waitrose takes us behind the scene to show us what's happening in the aisles of power; and Food Foundation ambassador Jani Clarke and her Nan and Grandad try out BOSH!'s Ultimate Chilli recipe - and it more than lives up to the hype.

You can find the recipe for BOSH!'s Ultimate Chilli here and more delicious bean recipes here.

The series is part of our three-year mission with Veg Power to get the UK eating more beans
