I saw some of these in the grocery store, but I wasn't sure what variety they are...

I saw them at H-E-B over near 183 and Braker Ln. about a week ago. I don't know if they're still there, but I'd never seen them there before.

It looks like these might be Popoulu variety. They match the size and shape, but it's hard to imagine that there would be some for sale at the local grocery store...

Looks like Hua Moa to me.
