Edgell Black Beans

Edgell is a cornerstone of Australian pantry staples, specifically known for its wide range of canned vegetables and legumes. The brand has been a household name in Australia for nearly a century, providing high-quality, convenient food solutions that focus on nutritional value, such as being a significant source of fiber.

Originally founded by Robert Gordon Edgell in New South Wales, the brand grew from a small farming operation into a massive industrial food processor. Over the decades, ownership shifted as the Australian food industry consolidated. Today, Edgell is a flagship brand under Simplot Australia, which is a subsidiary of the American multinational J.R. Simplot Company. This connection allows the brand to maintain its local Australian heritage while benefiting from global supply chain efficiencies and agricultural expertise.

While many Edgell products are grown and processed in Australia to support local farmers, some specific legumes like black beans may be sourced or processed in multiple locations depending on seasonal availability and variety. However, the brand remains deeply rooted in the Australian market with a head office located in Mentone, Victoria.
