Purple Cabbage Urine pH Test

Boil purple cabbage until the water turns deep purple (or blend raw cabbage with water and strain), then pour the purple liquid into the toilet after urinating. If the liquid stays purple or turns pink, urine is too acidic; blue means alkaline/neutral — an indicator of a healthy plant-based diet.

Ingredients

  • purple cabbage
  • water

Instructions

  1. Boil some purple cabbage until the water turns deep purple, or blend raw cabbage with some water and then strain out the solids.
  2. Pee into your toilet then take your purple-cabbage cocktail and pour it into the toilet bowl. (Low-flow toilets work best, because there's less water in the bowl.)
  3. If the liquid in the toilet bowl remains purple or, even worse, turns pink, your urine is too acidic. Blue is the target.
