The date palm tree, source of the fruit we call a date, can live for over 100 years and produce up to 200 pounds of fruit annually, making it a cornerstone of ancient agriculture in the Middle East where it was first domesticated around 6000 BCE. Remarkably, archaeologists discovered date seeds in Egypt's King Tutankhamun's tomb from 1323 BCE that were successfully germinated in 2008, sprouting into viable plants after over 3,000 years.
