Although the yolk and white of the egg receive most of our attention, the shell also possesses useful qualities. In actuality, the cosmetics industry has discovered a use for eggs and their constituent parts, especially in hair care. Egg whites are a staple in many beauty regimes since they are known to leave hair feeling nourished, glossy, and silky.
What about the eggshell, though?
Interestingly, it serves other purposes as well. Eggshells can assist in restoring the pH balance of soil when it comes to gardening. For this function, they can be easily repurposed. The eggshells should be carefully cleaned and then allowed to dry for a day. After the shells have dried, break them up into little pieces and scatter them over the soil or in plant pots. Boiling the eggshells in hot water and using the resulting water to irrigate soil is another efficient approach.
Incorporate Sustainability Into Your Daily Life
Thus, the next time you crack an egg, consider carefully before discarding the shells. You can improve your gardening efforts and incorporate a little sustainability into your routine by soaking eggshells in water. Try it out and see the positive effects in your kitchen and yard.
