Heinz is the leading brand of baked beans in the U.K., known for its tomato-forward flavor and use of haricot beans, which provide a mild taste. Different from the American version, British baked beans are typically enjoyed heated over buttered toast or as part of a full English breakfast. Digestive biscuits, popular in the U.K., were originally created in the 1800s to help digestion and are available in plain and chocolate-covered options. While they contain baking soda, health claims about aiding digestion are not emphasized in current marketing.
