Years of working in the sustainability space led Amelia to realise that beans, with their millions of varieties, and soil rejuvenating properties, were the answer to so many food system issues. The problem? Everyone hated them. So, in 2021 she founded Bold Bean Co, a brand “on a mission to make you obsessed with beans, by giving you the best of beans”. Bold Bean Co sells expertly sourced beans, slowly cooked and presented in a beautiful glass jar. Within two years they have found themselves loved by chefs such as Melissa Hemsley and Thomasina Miers and on the shelves of stores like Waitrose, Sainsbury’s, M&S and Ocado. To remove further barriers to bean consumption, Bold Bean Co have made sharing inspiring bean recipes a core part of what they do, so this Summer Amelia launched a cookbook “Bold Beans” which has already become a bestseller on Amazon.
