I hear that they are almost as good as a Utah steak size tomato.

Imho, the purple tomatoes are just plain the best. There's something
rich about the flavor. There are a few different varieties: the local
farmer with the best tomatoes sells mixed purples in a single bin.

Johnny's Selected Seeds always has a good selection of high-quality
seeds; Google shows tomatoseeds.net having a few varieties, but I've
never ordered from them.

They are also sometimes called "black" - I can't seem to see much
difference in color or taste. The color is more of an overlay on the
standard red; theye are neither truly purple nor deep black. Varieties
include:

Purple Cherokee
Black Krim
Black Brandywine
Purple Branywine
Purple Calabash
Black Prince

and so on.
