All the name brands (Green Giant, Del Monte, White Rose, etc,) are essentially
of equal quality, even the store brands, as those are exactly the same, made on
the same line, but with the store brand label. But the *generics* are of
significantly lesser quality, that's where the poorer crops are used... the
generics have the same nutritional value, but the appearance and texture is of
lesser quality.
