Popeye Fresh Spinach is a well-known brand of pre-packaged leafy greens that leverages the iconic 'Popeye the Sailor Man' character to promote the nutritional benefits of spinach. The brand is a staple in North American grocery stores, offering various sizes and cuts of washed, ready-to-eat spinach. The product is heavily associated with the cultural history of the mid-20th century when the cartoon character significantly boosted spinach consumption in the United States.

The produce is primarily grown and processed in the United States, with major agricultural regions in California and Arizona serving as the primary sources. Depending on the season, some production may shift to other regions to ensure a year-round supply. The brand has evolved through various corporate owners over the decades but remains a leader in the fresh-cut vegetable industry.

Currently, the Popeye brand for fresh produce is owned and distributed by Taylor Fresh Foods, Inc. Taylor Farms is a major American food company based in Salinas, California, known for being one of the world's largest processors of fresh-cut fruits and vegetables. They manage the licensing of the Popeye character for use on their fresh spinach products through an agreement with the character's rights holder, King Features Syndicate.
