Eggshell Elixir: Soak and Reuse for Surprising Health and Home Benefits

ADVERTISEMENT

Introduction:
Don’t toss those eggshells in the trash just yet! These kitchen scraps are packed with calcium and minerals that can benefit your garden, home, and even your body. By simply soaking eggshells in water, you create a mineral-rich solution that’s both eco-friendly and incredibly useful.

Why It Works:
Eggshells are made up of about 95% calcium carbonate, along with magnesium, phosphorus, and other trace minerals. Soaking them in water allows some of these minerals to dissolve, creating a natural supplement for plants and a gentle calcium boost for humans when used properly.

Ingredients:
Eggshells from 6–12 eggs (washed and dried)

1 liter of filtered or boiled water

A glass jar or container with a lid
