Bang in Some Beans!

At Aldrington, we are trying to boost the bean intake of our children! Beans are full of protein, fibre and micronutrients and low in cost. They are beneficial to soil and are far lower in greenhouse gas emissions than other sources of protein. They are good for our health and the planet!

We have given our children the challenge to 'Bang in Some Beans' to their meals and see if they can try some variety of beans they may not have tried before. You can find out more about the national movement #BangInSomeBeans by clicking here.
