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.
In the Garden
Fertilizer: Crushed eggshells enrich soil with calcium and help balance pH—perfect for tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants.
Pest Repellent: Scatter larger pieces around plants to deter slugs and snails.
Compost Booster: Add to compost to speed up decomposition and improve mineral content.
Eco-Friendly Living
Reusing eggshells cuts waste and supports a sustainable lifestyle. So next time you crack an egg, don’t throw the shell away—use it!
