Each kind differ in color based on how much sunlight they receive. These from Nichols are a pale yellow-green with red blush, almost a mix of three varieties.
SnowSweets are a University of Minnesota variety. U of M describes SnowSweets as “almost buttery….. sweet with a slight tart balance and rich overtones.” I think they taste like a caramel apple without any of the tacky candy sticking in your teeth.
