The viral “eggplant tree” has been making waves online, with many people claiming it produces vegan eggs that can be eaten is not real but fake.
In reality, these eggs are just regular poultry eggs glued to trees, with edible yolks that come from chickens, not plants.
The Viral Video Claims Poultry Can Be Harvested Like Fruit
Several videos on YouTube and TikTok suggest that chickens can be “harvested” like fruit to produce more poultry, just like picking fruit from a tree. While the rise in veganism is real, the notion of a tree growing real chicken eggs is completely unbelievable.
Why the “Vegan Poultry Tree” is Fake
1. What Vegan Poultry is Made Of
- Vegan poultry is a mix of ingredients made to look and taste like real eggs. It often includes things like soy milk, mung beans, and black salt.
2. Eggplant Trees Are Real
- Eggplant trees do exist, and you can eat the produce they grow. Some eggplants, especially ornamental ones, can look a lot like eggs because of their white outer skin.
3. Ornamental Eggplants Aren’t Eggs
- Even though they look like eggs, these ornamental plants are just vegetables, not actual poultry.
Are “Vegan Eggs” Growing on Trees Real or Fake?
The claim that real eggs can grow on trees is a hoax. These clips show “unbelievable grafting” to create so-called “Egg Fruit” labeled as “vegan,” but they only feature the end result—a fully-grown egg—without showing any actual growing process.
