What's the use of frying eggshells

After frying, eggshells can be used as natural calcium supplements and cleaning agents, but they need to undergo high-temperature sterilization and crushing treatment. The main uses of fried eggshells include supplementing calcium, regulating soil pH, cleaning utensils, etc.

1. Calcium supplementation

Eggshells contain a large amount of calcium carbonate, which can be ground into powder after high-temperature frying and sterilization, and can be used as dietary calcium supplements. Adding eggshell powder to flour or Congee can help improve osteoporosis symptoms. When using, it is necessary to control daily intake to avoid excessive calcium supplementation, which may cause gastrointestinal discomfort or the risk of stones. People who are allergic to seafood or eggs should try with caution.

II. Horticultural Improvement

Frying and crushing eggshells and sprinkling them into acidic soil can effectively neutralize soil acidity and alkalinity, especially suitable for planting calcium loving crops such as tomatoes. The slow release of minerals from eggshells can prevent umbilical rot caused by calcium deficiency in plants. Before use, clean the residual egg white to avoid attracting pests. It is recommended to apply it in combination with organic fertilizer for better results.

3. Home Cleaning

Coarse grained eggshell powder can replace chemical cleaning agents and be used to wipe stainless steel utensils or remove tea stains. Its micro grinding effect can remove stubborn stains without damaging the surface of the vessel. When cleaning coffee pots or thermos cups, adding a small amount of white vinegar can enhance the stain removal effect. Thoroughly rinse after use to avoid residue.

4. Pet Health

A small amount of eggshell powder can be added to pet feed to help dogs and cats supplement calcium and promote bone development. Ensure that the eggshells are thoroughly stir fried to kill Salmonella and ground to a fine powder to prevent scratching of the digestive tract. It is recommended to consult a veterinarian to determine the appropriate dosage and avoid using it in combination with commercial pet calcium supplements.

V. Handicrafts

Fully fried eggshells can be used as handicraft materials to make painted decorations or miniature potted containers. Its breathability is suitable for the cultivation of succulent plants, and drainage holes need to be drilled at the bottom before use. Eggshell carving should be kept at an appropriate humidity to prevent cracking, and it is recommended to spray clear varnish on the finished product to extend its storage time.

When using scrambled eggshells, attention should be paid to hygiene and safety. Raw eggshells may carry Salmonella and must be sterilized by boiling water or baking in an oven at 150 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes. It is recommended to prioritize the use of professional calcium supplements for calcium supplementation. The calcium absorption rate of eggshells is about 30-40%, and they may contain trace amounts of heavy metals. Horticultural use should avoid excessive soil compaction, and cleaning purposes should prevent powder from entering the eyes. It is recommended to consult a nutritionist or physician before use for special populations to ensure that the usage method is scientific and reasonable.
