You can find more information in the previous comment."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This sounds like another ingenious &#8220;zero waste&#8221; life hack, which at first glance seems puzzling. Why would you boil eggshells in a pot? To eat them? To clean the pot?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, it&#8217;s an extremely versatile money-saving tip. Collecting, boiling, and processing eggshells can save you from buying expensive plant fertilizer, harsh cleaning products, or even calcium supplements. Boiling is the crucial step in killing bacteria and salmonella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The three best ways boiled eggshells can save you real money:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Free premium fertilizer for lime-loving plants<br>Eggshells consist of around 90 percent pure calcium and contain valuable micronutrients (such as magnesium and phosphorus).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s how to save money: Instead of buying expensive seaweed lime or tomato fertilizer, use your kitchen scraps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How to use: Sterilize the shells in boiling water for 10 minutes, let them dry, and grind them into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle or a blender. Simply mix the powder into the soil of your tomatoes, peppers, chives, or houseplants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Natural Scouring Milk (For Burnt-On Food)<br>Do you have encrusted pans or stubborn limescale in your sink?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How to save money: You don&#8217;t need expensive specialty chemical cleaners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How to use: Grind the boiled and dried eggshells into a fine, sandy powder. Mix this powder with a little water and a squirt of dish soap to form a creamy paste. The fine particles act like a gentle exfoliant (abrasive effect) that mechanically removes dirt without scratching surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Calcium Booster for Pets (or Your Own Muesli)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone who feeds BARF (raw meat to dogs\/cats) or keeps chickens knows that calcium supplements in pet stores can be quite expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s how to save money: Homemade, sterilized eggshell powder is a perfect, free calcium supplement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Important: For consumption, the shells must be boiled beforehand and then dried in the oven at 100\u00b0C (212\u00b0F) for 15 minutes to ensure they are completely germ-free. A pinch of this powder in a smoothie or pet food already covers a large portion of your pet&#8217;s daily calcium requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bonus tip for coffee drinkers: A pinch of the fine eggshell powder added directly to the coffee filter binds excess acids. The result is a noticeably milder coffee that is easier on the stomach \u2013 saving even cheaper coffee from a bitter taste!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you simply thrown away your eggshells so far, or are you already using them in your garden?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This sounds like another ingenious &#8220;zero waste&#8221; life hack, which at first glance seems puzzling.
