The references on the giant raisin and grapple both link to a page that is full of obvious jokes.
Humo's got it right on carrots, pluots and tangelos. On top of that,the GMO carrots mentioned are modified to increase calcium, not change colour.
The lemon tomato is not called a lemato, does not look like the picture (duh), has basil, not lemon genes as mentioned above, and apparently smells/tastes of "perfume, rose, geranium and lemongrass", not lemons.
The insulin lettuce one seems about the only legit thing on the whole page.
Normally I'd just sigh and ignore an article like this, but I am feeling decidedly intolerant of poor science reporting this morning.
