The Colorful Truth About Eggs: A Spanish Farm's Viral Video

Spanish Farm Explains the Mystery of Colorful Eggs A recent video by Cobardes y Gallinas, a Spanish egg farm, has gone viral, explaining the natural variations in egg colors. The farm, known for its free-range chickens, showcases eggs ranging from deep brown to a striking green. "Each hen gives its own hue," explains the farmer in the video. "Lohmann hens lay brown eggs, Araucana hens produce green, Marans lay chocolate-colored eggs, and Leghorn hens lay bright white eggs." The video also includes a humorous anecdote about a customer who accused the farm of painting the eggs. The farmer assures viewers that the colors are entirely natural, a result of the different breeds. "The color doesn't change the quality," the farmer states. "The best egg is the first one you pick—freshness is key." The video highlights the growing interest in understanding the origins of food and the importance of supporting sustainable farming practices. The unexpected popularity of the video demonstrates the public's curiosity about where their food comes from and the natural variations that exist within the food supply chain.
