Trivia: What American entrepreneur created modern baked beans?
Joseph A. Campbell
W.K. Kellogg
Jimmy Dean
Henry Heinz
The correct answer is Henry Heinz
So why is this answer correct? : Baked beans are based on an Indigenous American dish in which beans were cooked in fat and maple syrup. However, the side dish wasn’t mass-produced until the end of the 19th century. Around 1895, the Pennsylvania-based H.J. Heinz Company (now the Kraft Heinz Company) was the first to can these beans and sell them to a larger market. The canned beans were brought to the U.K. nine years later and became a staple of the British diet.
