Like one of the trends you see in the US is a lot of people who want nicely seasoned beans that they can just open a packet or open a can and just

heat them up and go.

And so that is something that's taking off a lot more in the U.S.

too.

So that convenience factor is a major part of this.

Yeah, yeah, that's Natalia Rudin, who is, you might know her better from her handle, Nat's Nourishments.

And she kind of took off because she used to be a personal chef and she would do these series about, you know, what she would cook when she got home.

And she's made beans look a lot more appetizing.

And Bull Bean Company, part of their whole mantra as well is trying to teach people how to cook with beans.

So they have lots of great recipes.

I did like a cacio e pepe bean recipe, which was actually delicious.

So I think there are ways of making the very humble bean a lot more interesting.

They converted me.

I am now one of those people who is spending more than three pounds on jar beans, unfortunately.

But they're very, very good.

And actually, my parents are coming from the U.S.

and they are bringing a bunch of other bean products that I want to try from America.

So it's happened.

They've got me.

Thank you so much for your time.
