BeanMeals was a large collaborative project aiming to get UK grown beans into school meals. Food for Life worked with schools as part of the project encouraging pupils and school cooks to see the star potential of beans as a healthy and sustainable food. These resources were created as part of the project and can be used to learn all about beans through growing, cooking and classroom activities.
The BeanMeals project was grant funded by UKRI (UK Research and Innovation) and led by Oxford University. You can find out more about the project here: https://www.eci.ox.ac.uk/beanmeals
