The importance of egg shell
Anybody that throw away their egg shells should be flogged 100 strokes at the market square
You're throwing away the good part of Egg.
EGG SHELL is a good source of Calcium, we eat powdered egg shells in farming communities - we even give our young ones & elderly.
This is how we prepare it.
- We only use Boiled Eggs (to £liminætē salmonella or any bacteria)
- That membrane between the shell and the egg (that tiny white thing we remove from boiled egg, we don't throw it away oo, we add it to the shell, they're good too 🤩)
- We then dry the shell a bit
- We grîñd the $hé|| in pestle & motars, some uses grinding stones to make a fine powder (now some educated farmers use blenders)
- We then sieve it out, keeping the powder alone.
It's supplements for our young and elderly. When we have any bone Æçcident on the farm, we add it to the meals of the person
Elderly that has bone or joint pain - we add it to their meal
Young ones growing, we also add it to their meal
During planting season when we need serious strength on the farm - we add it to our meal the night before.
Please Note
We don't over use, we only sprinkle in our drinks (e.g Burukutu) Soups (vegetables).
When next you buy Eggs, those empty shells are your calcium supplements use them 🥂
Happy New Month guys
