Description
A truly scrumptious and unique member of the eggplant family, these boast a combination flavors. We taste eggplant, tomatoes, and peppers. This red round fruit is popular in the Italian province of Potenza where it is traditionally made into gourmet caponata or preserved and pickled. Bright orange, round fruit was originally brought to Rotonda, Italy from Ethiopia just before World War II and can often be found in jars of olive oil or spread on crusty Italian bread. Jere Gettle found seeds for this delicacy while traveling Italy in 2009.
Locally and Organically grown

Never heard of this vegetable, but it was so good in a ratatouille style dish. I will buy again.
