Cabbage Test Directions, results included! (fun gender test!)

[MommyMichele]

Thought I would share! Even took pics in a step by step process!

Directions

1.Go to the store and buy a red cabbage. The size of the cabbage does not matter at all.
2.Cut the cabbage into big chunks. The smaller you cut the chunks, the better your results will turn out.
3. Boil some water on the stove and put in the chunks of cabbage.
4. Let the water and cabbage boil for about 10 minutes or so. When the ten minutes is up, remove it from the heat.
5. Grab a cup and go to the bathroom! Pee into the cup.
6. In a separate cup, mix 1 part of your urine to 1 part of the water that the cabbage was boiled in. No need to save the cabbage unless you want to eat it. It's pretty tasty, so you might want to eat it!
7. If the urine/cabbage water turns pink or red then this indicates a boy result! If the urine/cabbage water turns purple, this indicates a girl result.

That's awesome! I just happen to have a purple cabbage so I'll have to try this when I cook it this week!

 

[MommyMichele]

I saved some of the cabbage water for when I have to pee again. I'm going to water it down some and see what color it actually is. I say it's purple but it looks black in the pic.

 

[reallyready]

where did you find that?

 

[MommyMichele]

Another forum I'm on, loads of girls are doing it. It's kinda an old wives tale thing, but fun just the same.

 

[Mummietobe]

[MommyMichele]

You aren't peeing on the cabbage. You remove some of the water from the pot.

Eat the boiled cabbage, it's good for you.

I've never heard of that test before; I'll have to give it a try

See, now this is the kind of gender predictor test I can get into!
It's cute, funny, costs you pennies and is 50% guaranteed to give you the right answer!
The one that tries to get you to pay $20-30 or whatever it is for the same thing (I can't remember the name of the product) is the one that pisses me off (pardon the pun!).

Lol - I wonder who ever thought of that and why lol

Not sure but it's pretty simple science. One PH (cabbage water) reacting to another PH (urine). Pretty much the same science with HPT's. Different hormones in the urine make the PH of the urine react one way or another.

I know there is a theory about your ph levels at the time of conception effecting if the male or sperm survive ....... and it all depends on your diet, maybe its related to that. In which case your diet would have to be the same now as at the time of conception.

[veganmum2be]

haha cool! i wont be trying it though.
isn't there another test, that involves doing a wee, mixing in a chemical of some sort then setting it alight, and the smoke colour indicates boy/girl? i have been told about that and read a bit about it somewhere, cant remember the details though!

but i'm not going to be messing around with my pee as i don't believe its acurate. xxx
