Heya...it is true...dry sepals persist in some fruits and vegetables too like brinjals apples and guava..
..etc. I'm explaining a little more..by a pic... (SEPALS ARE ALSO CALLED CALYX) The petals, stamens, style and stigma wither and generally fall off. The calyx may either fall off or may remain intact in a dried and shrivelled form. Apple and guava show such dried sepals very clearly, in brinjal it remains.
