Lack of calcium in the body is one of the main metabolic disorders, which leads not only to the fragility of teeth and bones, but also to a more serious disease - anemia. In pharmacies for calcium replenishment, there is a huge selection of non-drug drugs and various dietary supplements. However, calcium from them is not always well absorbed by the body. Eggshells can solve the problem. It consists of 90% calcium, which ideally compensates for the deficiency in the body.
Necessary
- - several eggs;
- - wooden mortar;
- - coffee grinder.
Instructions
Step 1
There is an opinion that only white eggs are suitable for making egg shell powder, however, this statement is not substantiated or confirmed by anything. Before preparing the powder, the eggs must be thoroughly washed in warm water and laundry soap. Break and separate the shell from the contents of the egg. Then it should be washed again under running water and the inner film removed. Ready-made shells need to be doused with boiling water or kept in boiling water for one or two minutes.
Step 2
The eggshells must dry. To do this, you can leave them on a towel or napkin for two or three hours. There is nothing wrong with the shells breaking.
Step 3
The shells are crushed very well and quickly in a conventional coffee grinder. But there is an opinion that after contact with metal parts, the beneficial effect of the powder decreases. Therefore, it is better to grind the shells by hand in a wooden mortar.
Step 4
It is better to store the finished egg powder in a clean, dry glass container - a jar or bottle. You can close the container with a plastic lid. But with this storage option, the powder often has an unpleasant odor, it seems to "suffocate". It is much better to cover the mouth of the jar or bottle with a rag and tighten with an elastic band or ribbon. No need to hide the jar of powder in the refrigerator. It stores well in a closet, in a dark place, away from moisture.
Step 5
There are no contraindications to the use of egg shell powder. Its use cannot lead to an overdose, since all excess calcium is easily and simply excreted by the body on its own. Egg powder can be added to salads, cereals, first courses, so that family members will not even notice the new "seasoning", and you will be sure that your husband and children will receive the required amount of calcium.
