Baked beans are widely used as a side for breakfasts such as a full English or on toast. Some may even add them into chilli con carne, but is there a difference between beans and Heinz?

I put this to the test in a recent blind taste test where I sampled nine tins of baked beans from various supermarkets to see whether I could spot Heinz, and which one was the tastiest. I compared beans from , , , , , , , and Heinz.

Tesco beans had a firmer texture than the others, but did have a pleasant, rich tomato sauce.

However, the sauce was slightly watery despite being cooked well, which I didn't like.

Score: 6/10

These beans were sweeter than others in the taste test, which I preferred, and had a great sauce and consistency.

Overall, these were really great-tasting baked beans, and I would happily buy them again.

Score: 10/10

I felt these baked beans had a little bit of a weird aftertaste, which I didn't find too pleasant.

However, they did have a good flavour and consistency compared to some of the others.

Score: 7/10

The beans had a much stronger smell compared to the others, and were a lot sweeter.

I felt they lacked a little bit of flavour, but my boyfriend really enjoyed these ones.

Score: 5/10

These baked beans were slightly disappointing as they were really strong but didn't taste of tomato.

They had a slight BBQ taste, so I think it would be nice mixed in with a meal such as a chilli con carne.

Score: 5/10

The flavour of these beans was quite mild, which isn't a bad thing, but I do prefer a stronger tomato taste.

However, my boyfriend found them tasty, so it really is down to personal preference.

Score: 7/10

On first impressions, Lidl's baked beans had a thick sauce and a good colour, but I didn't find them enjoyable at all.

I found them to lack flavour, but for the price point, I would definitely consider trying them again.

Score: 3/10

Aldi's baked beans had a mild flavour, but it was pleasant, and for the price, you can't go wrong.

I thought all of the supermarket's own-brand baked beans would all taste really different, but they were more similar than I thought.

Score: 4/10

It was interesting to note that in my local Lidl and Aldi stores, you could only buy large tins.

Despite being able to tell that these were Heinz, they weren't my favourite, and the price doesn't justify the quality for me.

Score: 6/10

The taste of baked beans is all down to personal preference, and while I didn't like some, my boyfriend did.

For me personally, Asda won this taste test thanks to the flavour and texture of the beans, as well as the price.

Prices are accurate at the time of writing and purchasing.
