🥚 Why Boil Eggshells?
Eggshells are rich in:
- Calcium – great for bones, plants, and household use
- Magnesium, phosphorus, and trace minerals
- Natural alkalinity – useful for cleaning and pH balance
Boiling them kills bacteria, softens the shells, and releases nutrients into the water — making the liquid or the shells usable in many creative and practical ways.
