The most defining trait is the interior: it is nearly solid meat with almost zero seed cavities.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor:<\/strong> Universally loved. The flesh is dense yet very juicy (not dry). It boasts a perfectly balanced flavor profile with very low acidity and a pronounced, delicious sweetness.<\/li>\n<li>\u26a0\ufe0f <strong>Seed Saving Warning:<\/strong> Because this variety is so dense and meaty, it produces incredibly few seeds.
