Did you know that eggs are full of protein and are very versatile for not only cooking but for baking. I bet you didn't know, that those eggshells that you throw away are loaded with large amounts of calcium. Also did you know that you can make powder from eggshells. That eggshell powder can be used not only as a calcium supplement for us but for our pets as well. And get this, it can also be used as a powder for our face and our body. You can even make chalk by mixing the powder with some flour and water, until you get a paste to form into sticks. By making your own powder as with anything you make on your own, you know what is going into it.
Its very easy to make eggshell powder, start first by washing the shells after they are emptied. Then save them for a week, no longer. After a week they are not good. Then heat your oven to 350, placing your shells onto a cookie sheet and cooking them for 10 minutes. This will give you brittle shells that are ready to grind.
In a coffee grinder or blender, grind them into fine powder. You can store your powder in a jar in the refrigerator for one year. This is great for any pet as a calcium supplement.
