Let's Make Eggshell Powder - beneficial as a nutritional supplement, for the garden, skin and teeth! 

Awesome!! Thanks for sharing, mineralizing toothpaste is on my list to make so I’ll check out her recipe!

@DC, This is fantastic...i used to use eggshells...and then, i stopped. :( , so I need to get back to it. Could you share your recipe, please?

I followed the directions for making the powder but used my coffee grinder instead of my vitamix but I don't think they turned out fine enough to make into a toothpaste. Any tips?

​@@marezey stone grinder. In my language its called "ammi kal"...

can you provide a recipe for making toothpaste? Thank you for posting.

Awesome!! Good tips!!

Thanks for sharing how you use it! That’s very helpful!

Good to know, thanks for sharing!!

Were you sensitive to egg protein as well?

@@KR-os6nn no I was not

Hi :) how did you add it into your diet? I'm looking into this because of a dairy intolerance as well and trying to find more info or recipes to eat it. Do you still eat egg shell powder now?

@@oaktree2254 I just woud take a tsp with water in the morning :) I don't do it anymore, I found I can drink raw milk and do that now!

Thank you and good tips! I agree that the sterilization process is only necessary if you were going to use them as a nutritional supplement.

Thanks for the kind comment! So glad this was helpful!

Thank you and thanks for watching!!

That's awesome!! I'm excited to dive into adding them more into our skincare routing!

Thanks! It's an AGA cast iron cooker from the UK... we love it too! Thanks for watching!

Thank you and thanks for sharing!

Yes, good call!

Hi, did u manage to get your eggshell powder really fine ? mine is still gritty and a little crunchy

Love this! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the sweet comment and thanks for watching!

You’re welcome!! Thanks for watching!!

That’s a great use for them! 👍

Thanks for sharing!

I definitely learned this the hard way. 😬

Oh interesting about parrots - thanks for sharing!

Yes! Thanks for adding that!

Awesome! Glad it was helpful!

Thanks! It's an AGA! We found it used on facebook marketplace and couldn't pass it up!

So glad it’s helpful! Thanks for watching!

That should work fine! Thanks for watching and the kind words!

We mainly use them for garden and chickens so I leave them!

​@FromScratchFarmstead but do you also leave the membrane in when using for your teeth?

So glad it’s helpful!! ❤️

You could! Or it would be ideal to not stack the shells and then all of that should get cleaned out in boiling and just strain off the shells from the water and any other cooked egg pieces. Thanks for watching!

As long as they are totally dried out, they should last on the counter just fine for several months. Did that answer your questions?

I’ve heard it’s great for dogs too! Thanks for sharing!

You’re welcome! Thank for watching!

I don't worry too much about them. As long as everything is thoroughly dried out, it hasn't been an issue for us. Thanks for watching!

I learned on another site that the membrane is also beneficial. Aids in collagen production and joint support!

We've never issues with it! Thanks for watching!

Good question! I don’t see why it would hurt. If they need it, they could eat it, if not they should leave it alone.

Yep! Should be fine. If there’s any sort of smell, I’d avoid eating them but they’d still be great for plants or chickens.

Not necessary! We just leave on the counter if using within a few days!

I haven’t tried adding it to tea. Interesting idea! Thanks for watching!

Not really, the main thing is to make sure they are 100% dry if keeping as a powder so it doesn't get moldy!

I don't see why not! Thanks for watching!

@@FromScratchFarmstead THANK YOU

As long as you don't give them whole shells, I don't think they have a clue! Thanks for watching!

Nope! I guess you may want to crush them so they spread more evenly. But the washing and boiling is only to sterilize them for human consumption. Thanks for watching!

@@FromScratchFarmstead thank you very much!

I'd stay away from ingesting the store bought shells but you could definitely use them as compost and feed your garden!

Wonderful, thank you!

I'm not sure, may be best to check with your medical provider. Thanks for watching!

As someone with gallstones who has also tried this, I can say for that issue it's perfectly fine. Gallstones have no relationship whatsoever to calcium intake. Kidney stones would be one to talk to a doctor about - I would say if the person has been told to consume a low calcium diet or to avoid calcium supplements, then eggshell powder would not be safe for them. However, oddly enough, a diet low in calcium is a known risk factor for kidney stones. Oxalate and sodium consumption are strongly connected with the development of kidney stones, so definitely discuss with your healthcare provider whether you should be 1) reducing sodium intake and 2) increasing low-oxalate sources of calcium (like eggshell powder).

Sun dry or dehydrator?

Thanks for sharing!

You can definitely skip this step if you'd like!

Thanks for watching!

Good idea!

Hmmm…that’s weird. Are you sure they were 100% dry? That’s the only thing coming to mind as to why they would have an odor.

Thanks for sharing and watching!

Thanks for watching!

As long as they are smashed up, they make a good calcium supplement for them!

Thanks for the comment!
