"In a garden lab in Pozzuoli, near Naples, Italian researchers developed the Realtomato by crossing San Marzano tomatoes with purple ones. Grown in the area's rich, volcanic soil, the combination creates a tomato extremely high in cancer-fighting antioxidants, especially after being cooked."

Anyone heard of them or got seeds?

Has anyone heard of this pepper:-

I saw it here, in a recipe : http://www.seriousea...tte-recipe.html

Has anyone grown this pepper before? and do you know where i can get seeds?
