Green Giant Whole Kernel Sweet Corn is a canned vegetable product offered by the Green Giant brand, known for its high-quality sweet corn. The brand traces its origins to the Minnesota Valley Canning Company, founded in 1903 in Le Sueur, Minnesota. Initially, the company focused on canning white cream-style corn and peas. In 1925, they introduced the 'Green Giant' brand name for their peas, and by 1928, the iconic Jolly Green Giant mascot was introduced. Over the years, the brand expanded its product line to include various canned and frozen vegetables, with sweet corn being a staple. Manufacturing primarily occurs in Minnesota, with additional production in other locations to meet demand. The Green Giant brand has undergone several ownership changes: it was sold to Pillsbury in 1979, which was later acquired by General Mills in 2001. In 2015, B&G Foods acquired the Green Giant brand from General Mills, making B&G Foods the current owner. B&G Foods is a U.S.-based company specializing in the production of shelf-stable and frozen foods, with a diverse portfolio of brands.
