Eggs are a great source of protein, packed with vitamins and minerals, and taste good too. But after you crack the shell and cook the eggs, do you throw the shell away? If your answer is yes, you will not be able to throw it away after reading this news...
The human body needs a lot of calcium because our bones and teeth, as well as our nerves and muscles, need calcium. Did you know that eggshells are 90 percent pure calcium? There is no other food that contains this much calcium. Finding eggshells for your dinner is no fun, but did you know that these annoying shells are actually versatile? We don't recommend cooking with them on your own, but there are lots of other things you can use them for!
From time to time, stubborn stains occur on tea glasses or coffee cups that we use at home. Detergents that we often use are not effective on these stains. Did you know that you can use the shells of eggs in such cases? All you have to do is fill your stained glasses with eggshells. Since egg shells have abrasive properties, they will easily remove stains. Here are some other areas where you can use eggshells;
REMOVING BURNED FOOD
Going crazy with burnt food at the bottom of your frying pan (or other pots and pans) will be a thing of the past once you learn this eggshell trick! Crack some eggshells into the pan in question. Add some salt and hot water, scrub with the sponge and your pan will be clean once again.
SHARPENING YOUR BLENDER'S BLADES
Using a whetstone to sharpen your blender's blades is nearly impossible; you can never get a good angle. Fortunately, this problem is easily fixed. Refrigerate a few eggshells for half an hour and then put them in your blender. Add some water and start the blender. Your knives will be like new!
USE AS FERTILIZER
Eggshells are packed with lime, which has the potential to really benefit your plants. Dry the husks and grind or pulverize as little as possible. Store this in a jar and take it out when you need it. Mix the powdered bark with some potting soil and, with a little fertilizing, plant it where your soil can.
