It is not an uncommon variety, but I have grown it several times just because I like it so much. And this season, it earned a \u201cWOW\u201d flavor rating in my tasting notes\u2026one of very few beefsteaks to make my top rating. To earn a \u201cWOW,\u201d the flesh must be plump and turgid, not too firm or too soft. There must be strong acid and even stronger sweetness, no musky aftertaste, and a bit of fruitiness that keeps a sweet taste from being plain sugar.<br \/>\nIn appearance, Northern Lights goes through a color transformation during ripening that is pretty spectacular. The epidermis is clear, so you see an array or pale yellow, then peach, then pink, and finally rose. The flesh is a pinky-peach bicolor. Fruiting was slow at first, as typical for when I grow it, but then picked up nicely, which is also typical.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3709,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[31,28,12,107],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-3708","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-beefsteak","product_cat-bicolor","product_cat-bunny-hop-seeds","product_cat-ellies-wow-varieties","first","outofstock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/3708","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3709"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3708"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=3708"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=3708"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=3708"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
