A video has been doing rounds on social media platforms recently in which a YouTuber can be seen interviewing a farmer who claims that he has successfully grown eggs on plants.
Let’s have a look at the video.
In the video, the presenter says that eggs grown this way offer a cheaper substitute for regular eggs without compromising on taste and nutrients, adding that these eggs are high in demand and traders from all over the country have already booked these eggs six months in advance.
The farmer reveals that he has imported special seeds from China and grows at least 4,000 eggs every day. He adds that each egg incurs a cost of Rs. 2 and he sells them to traders for Rs. 7 each.
Towards the end, the farmer also breaks two eggs in order to demonstrate that the eggs grown on plants are indeed real.
Fake Video
The video, however, has turned out to be fake and the special plant shown in it is in reality white brinjal. Whereas, the two eggs broken in the video are real eggs that have been attached to the plant’s branches.
Scientifically known as eggplant, brinjal grows in different shapes, sizes, and colors, with white eggplant being one of them. In the early days of growth, the white eggplant appears similar to an egg in shape and size.
The YouTuber and farmer used this fact to their advantage and decided to con people by making a video that claims that eggs can now grow on plants, which is untrue.
ProPakistani also contacted a top agri scientist to verify the authenticity of the claim of the farmer. The agri scientist categorically rejected the claim made in the video and said that there are no seeds or farming techniques that could help grow eggs on crops.
these people spearing fake videos just for view to earn money from social media… this is illegal money to spend at your own life.
How ridiculous? It is development growth stage of Brinjal crop, ‘ bataoon ‘ in Punjabi.
An FIR should be registered against that youtuber and the farmer for false propaganda.
FIR is not possible in our corrupt system, yes police can grab some money from him, as he cheated and spreading wrong information.
It’s Totally fake News.
This is actually Eggplant, aubergine or brinjal is a plant species in the nightshade family Solanaceae. Solanum melongena is grown worldwide for its edible fruit. Most commonly purple, the spongy, absorbent fruit is used in several cuisines. Typically used as a vegetable in cooking, it is a berry by botanical definition.
Just Google it as White Brinjal.
I knew it from the beginning few days ago when saw this clip. Illegal, illicit money earned from such fake videos
“ProPakistani also contacted a top agri scientist to verify the authenticity of the claim of the farmer.”
When you need a top scientist of Pakistan to verify whether eggs grow on plants or not you already know that general commonsense of Pakistanis has gone down the drain.
This should be taken up by FIA under misuses social media. But the problem is that who will do?
ایسے فراڈیوں کو سوشل میڈیا ایکٹ کے تحت سزا ملنی چاہیے جو لوگوں کو ذہنی کوفت اور مخمصے میں مبتلا کرتے ہیں
Hahaha, I also watched this vedio and shocked to see this kind of nonsense .
Everybody hold on! By making comments such as filing FIR or similar actions just reminds me of a proverbial Urdu phrase (oh choor kan lay gia!!!) How on earth Eggs can grow on plants. This was a humorous effort on the part of vedio maker, so please use common sense and don’t get so upset on these funny endeavours. Let me add that many of the U tube vedios are cooked up and far from truth!
They should be punished as scammers.
