Green Egg Trick is an example of fun kitchen chemistry to turn egg white green with a red cabbage juice.In Green Egg Trick we arev demonstrating that red cabbage juice acts as a pH indicator. When neutral the cabbage juice is a purple colour, turning red for an acid or green and blue for a base or alkali.

  • PH Indicator.

    The Cabbage juice can be used to measure acid or base levels of a liquid. Since the egg is somewhat basic, the color turns green. For acids it will turn purple, then red. For bases it will turn green, then yellow. For neither (pure water) it will turn blue.

    • Looks Fake!!

      There is a Frame Change while he starts mixing ...at about 32.5 sec....
      maybe he used it to cut the time of mixing.....or maybe he changed the jar....

    • It tastes..

      Slightly sweet - very odd! The cabbage juice was reduced to make the purple color intense but it also concentrated the natural sugars from the cabbage.

    • ha

      especially if you could inject the juice into the egg give it a little shake then pop it back in the box for the next person to use

      By djsegue 1201344991
  • Awesome!

    Now all we need is to put some of that juice on ham...

    By alfie424 1196044651
  • Clean up

    Would be a bit** to clean up the cabbage juice if it spilled somewhere. But very cool trick 5 stars!

    By DanZio2020 1202418554

  • You should find a way...

    to make the egg white green INSIDE the shell... so you can just crack it into the pan. That would be really neat.

    By jasontimmer 1202717657
  • Need to try

    Injecting into the egg yolk perhaps to get the real look of green eggs and ham.. google for pic

    By hbsteve 1202666526
  • Try putting...

    Try putting the cabbage juice in Sprite. Ooh, you can make green milk too, yeah? I want to try it on a bunch of stuff now XD

    By SapphireIris 1202596698
    • what about

      food coloring would be much easier

      By ocarinaluva 1202609982
  • abc

    i think the cabbage's purple not red

    By Gaby222 1201976437
  • yup...

    It turns green because cabbage juice is a natural indicator. Indicators change their colour depending on the PH of the liquid.

    By Maucer 1200954371
  • he

    • Glad you like it

      It is royalty free music from SmartSound's Quicktracks library. It is called "Dance Club" and I used the variation called "Synthesize". I do not know who the composer artist is, although that info may be on the SmartSound website. Google "SmartSound Quicktracks" you will get the URL you need.

      If you have Adobe Premiere Pro or Premiere Elements you can download the free SmartSound plugin, it comes with 10 free tracks, of which "Dance Club" is one.

    • Nice Music!

      I use SmartSound tracks on all my videos too.
