Green Giant is an iconic brand of frozen and canned vegetables with a history dating back to the early 20th century. Originally founded as the Minnesota Valley Canning Company in 1903, the brand introduced its famous 'Jolly Green Giant' mascot in 1928, later renaming the entire corporation after the popular character.

The specific product shown is grown and packed in Canada, specifically tailored for the Canadian market with bilingual English and French labeling. While the brand has historically been a staple of American and Canadian pantries, its ownership has transitioned through several major food conglomerates. For most of the late 20th century, it was a flagship of General Mills.

Starting in 2015, the North American brand rights for Green Giant were acquired by B&G Foods, a major American holding company for consumer food brands. B&G Foods continues to manage the brand's growth and distribution across North America, maintaining strictly controlled agricultural sourcing to ensure the quality associated with the 'Harvest Select' line.
