Eggshell Powder

featured in Food Scraps You Didn’t Know You Could Eat

Making scrambled eggs for a crowd? Don’t throw away those eggshells! As you use eggs, rinse the shells under warm water to remove any leftover white, then store in the fridge in an airtight container. When ground into a powder, eggshells can be a great source of calcium. Use eggshell powder in smoothies or bake into bread for extra nutrients. Just be sure to check with your doctor before consuming eggshell powder.
