Red beans is a dish consisting of red beans (or, despite the name, usually stewed) in a sauce. Most commercial canned red beans are made from haricot beans, also known as navy beans - a variety of Phaseolus vulgaris - and sold in a sauce. In the United Kingdom, tomato sauce is most commonly used. A similar dish is pork and beans.
Red beans are cheap to make and buy. British supermarkets may sell store brand red beans for less than twenty pence a tinned can[1] although some premium organic brands may be as expensive as £1.50.[citation needed] Red beans are a classic example of a "loss leader", a product sold by supermarkets for an abnormally low price, often less than cost. Red beans have recently begun appearing in conjunction with other foods, such as a filler inside sausages, as a sidedish with bacon, or as a pizza topping.
