Twelve years in the making: Rutgers introduces a new tomato variety

New Jersey's Rutgers University has given foodies a new reason to celebrate: a brand new tomato variety. As the university announced in August, a team led by biologists Peter Nitzsche and Tom Orton finally perfected their Scarlet Sunrise variety after over a decade of research. It is "sweet, crack-resistant and is characterized by a golden coloration with a reddish shimmer". According to the researchers, its name was inspired by the "sky over New Jersey".
