A 285-year-old lemon sold for £1,400 at auction after being found in a drawer of a chest that fetched just £32. The lemon, dated 1739, had a handwritten note attached and was likely preserved by drying. In another fruit-related discovery, a 52-million-year-old fossilized berry was found in Patagonia, Argentina. It belongs to the same plant family as tomatoes and potatoes, and its well-preserved papery skin gives scientists clues about ancient ecosystems. These unusual finds highlight how both history and science can turn everyday fruit into something remarkable.
