We’re changing our eggshell disposal habits for good!
After whipping up an omelette, you’re typically left with a handful of eggshells. While many toss them in the trash without a second thought, that’s quite wasteful. Eggshells are incredibly versatile! Did you realize that they’re comprised of 90 percent pure calcium? Few other foods boast such high calcium content. Given that calcium is essential for bone, teeth, nerve, and muscle health, it’s a crucial nutrient for the body. While finding an eggshell fragment in your meal isn’t exactly pleasant, these seemingly pesky shells have a multitude of alternative uses!
1.Eggshell Applications
The health benefits of eggs may be a topic of debate, but eggshells are purportedly quite nutritious. Extensive research conducted by the National Institute of Health on ground eggshell powder suggests promising outcomes. This powder is highly absorbable by the body, offering numerous health benefits. With its abundant calcium content, eggshell powder promotes bone strength and supports the production of healthy blood cells. Additionally, it aids in lowering cholesterol and blood pressure. Just half a teaspoon of ground eggshell delivers 1,000 to 1,500 milligrams of calcium, meeting 90% of our daily requirement.
2.Cleaning Stubborn Residue
No longer will you fret over stubborn, burnt-on residue at the bottom of your cookware once you learn this eggshell hack! Simply crumble some eggshells into the affected pan, add hot water and salt, then scrub with a sponge. Voila! Your pan will be sparkling clean once again.
3.Blender Blade Maintenance
Sharpening the blades of your blender with a whetstone can be challenging due to the awkward angles. Fortunately, there’s an easy fix. Freeze a few eggshells for thirty minutes, then place them in your blender along with some water. Blend away, and your blades will be restored to their former sharpness!
4.Natural Fertilizer
Eggshells are rich in lime, offering significant benefits to your plants. After drying and pulverizing the shells into a fine powder, store them in a jar for future use. Mix the pulverized shells with potting soil and apply the mixture to areas in need of fertilization.
5.Edible Uses
According to the National Institute of Health, eggshells are safe for consumption. But before you start munching on them, consider grinding them into a fine powder using a food processor. This powder can then be incorporated into various dishes to boost calcium intake. To ensure safety:
* Cook the eggshells for ten minutes if they’re raw to eliminate potential bacteria.
* Allow the shells to cool before grinding them into a powder.
* Store the powdered eggshells in an airtight container.
6.Drink
For easy consumption, add half a teaspoon of eggshell powder to a glass of water. Alternatively, incorporate it into smoothies or porridge. If these options don’t appeal to you, consider adding eggshell powder to your coffee. Not only does this increase calcium intake, but it also enhances the flavor by reducing bitterness and imparting smoothness. Ensure the eggshells are boiled to eliminate any bacteria, or bake them on a baking sheet at 180 degrees Celsius for ten minutes before use. Then, add half a teaspoon to your coffee or sprinkle it into your filter for a delightful brew.
