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.

  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.

  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

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

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.

abc
i think the cabbage's purple not red
By Gaby222 1201976437 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove ~~3900315~~

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

- 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.
