Researchers grew dates from 2,000-year-old seeds. They (the seeds, not the researchers) were found in ancient caves and fortresses in the Middle East. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/02/dead-sea-dates-grown-2000-year-old-seeds

I'm just so proud of those little seeds! Imagine hanging around for 2,000 years, being tiny, hidden in a dark cave, and waiting to live.
