Answers:
Price and Quality
alot of the time it comes from the same place but some times the taste is differant try buying one or two and do yopur own taste test
Believe it or not, many generic canned vegetables are the exact same product as a brand name, often packaged in the same plant, just with a different label. Read the label, compare, and you might be surprised. Also......sometimes the generic uses what is considered "second grade", meaning the quality is still good, but the size/shape might not be as uniform as a brand name requires.
Buy a few and compare tastes to your own liking. Some stores have their own generic brand, which is just as good as brand name, but you won't see coupons for them. They are often cheaper than the brand name even with a brand name coupon.
pretty much the pirces....cheaper brands have more added water as well.
I would say probably the sodium content... check it out next time you're in the store.
For the most part.....Absolutely Nothing!!!!
I worked at a canning factory for years... the Vegtables were put in cans, the cans sent through the "oven", then they would sit in the warehouse for 3 months to make sure everything was sealed and none of the cans were swelling. Then they would go to the label line where we would start with one brand name, and maybe halfway through the day we would switch labels to another brand.
Same Can, Same Vegtables, Different Label!!!
Sometimes certain "Name Brand" vegtables have special ingredients or flavors, but for the most part everything is the same except the label.
Each brand has a set of quality control standards and secret recipes and quantity they require.
Four or five brands my be produced by one cannery.
Some brands may as simple as First run or last as the generic stuff
you can search the number of awards a brand has won at fairs.
But it still boils down to WHAT do you like.
Cooking and food is an adventure,, experiment.!
Sometimes just price, other times Quality and price. For example Stop & Shop Creamed corn, Asparagus and peas are all lesser quality then Del Monte or Green Giant.
The Store brand Corn is like wood(husk pieces), the Asparagus is hard to chew and they peas are all different sizes and not very tasty.
Where as the Named brand has better Quality ingredients and is much tastier and nicer looking.. of course they cost more also.
