Boil eggshells in a pot: you’ll save a lot of money

2. How to Prepare Eggshells Safely

• Rinse eggshells thoroughly to remove any residue.
• Boil them in water for 10–15 minutes to kill bacteria.
• Let them dry completely, then grind them into a fine powder using a blender or mortar.
• You can add a small amount of this powder to smoothies, soups, or even baking recipes.

3. Reduces Household Waste
Using eggshells reduces kitchen waste, which not only helps the environment but also saves you money over time. Every eggshell you recycle is one less ingredient or supplement you might need to buy.

4. Can Improve Garden Health
Boiled and crushed eggshells are also excellent for gardening. They can be sprinkled in soil as a natural fertilizer or pest deterrent. Their calcium content strengthens plants, prevents blossom-end rot in tomatoes, and keeps pests like slugs away—saving money on chemical fertilizers and pest control.

5. Additional Benefits

• Dental health: Some people carefully use finely ground eggshell powder as a natural teeth remineralizer.
• Pet care: Small amounts of crushed eggshells can supplement calcium in pet diets (consult a vet first).
