Have you ever eaten powder egg shells?

4 years ago

I was fixing my omelet for breakfast and I noticed a bit of eggshell got into the eggs. I didn't bother to take it out because I remember once reading that egg shells are the best source of calcium for our body! It's easy to digest and helps build bone density!

I have never eaten them but I want to try. It's easy to turn them into powder too. Just wash out the egg white but leave the membrane inside because that has a lot of nutrients in it. Let the shells air dry on a paper towel. When they are dry break them into fine pieces then eventually powder. It's good to mix them with lemon juice but I am not sure of the exact measurements. It makes calcium citrate.

Have you ever eaten the egg shell for calcium? Would you?

well,i never heard that the powder egg shells can be eatten. i like eating egg very much especially the core of the egg. i like its taste and the feeling when eating the core of the eggs.
and i am not sure if the powder egg shells are tasty or not.i think i would like to have a go if someone else made the poweder for me.
i am sure i can make the powder myself if i really work hard following the instruction you typed here. but i just don't feel like making cuz i am not a good cook. i just can cook some simple meal.
and the making of the egg shells powder are really complicated for me.and the omelet you are mading do make me feel spin cuz there's no one who can make omelet in my family member.
i guess you really like make food as well some little snack. that's good for you that you are doing this well.

I read that it does not taste bad and can be added to foods when being prepared. I have seen people on TV make drinks in a blender and they throw the whole egg inside, this is probably why. The omelet is the only thing I cook on a daily basis so I am pretty good at it. It's important to have a good pan and I use cooking spray instead of oil or butter to cook it in. Thank you for the comment.

It's not that bad from what I have heard (the taste). It's really good for women because we have more bone problems than men. It has reveresed osteoporosis in labratory studies done on rats.
