Don’t Toss Eggshells—Reuse Them!, Eggshells are more than kitchen waste—they’re packed with nutrients and great for both your health and your garden.
Health Benefits
Eggshells are 90% calcium carbonate, essential for strong bones and teeth. After boiling and drying, grind them into powder and add to smoothies or soups. This natural calcium supplement is just as absorbable as store-bought ones and also contains magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc.
