- August 2024 Fresh Market New York Our trial attendance nearly doubled this year, and the Nirvana Series was the draw. Most of the items in this series have the punch of the sh2i gene and we have had reports that the easy snap and short shank can make the packaging process more user-friendly, and we appreciate hearing from growers about their experience so that we can learn more here. The consumer popularity with the unique crunch and taste continues to swell and we believe the new Golden Halo that expands the 75-day category into a yellow variety, and Elysian will keep the Nirvana promise to the grower and the consumer.
