How to eat eggshell powder

One eggshell contains about 750-800 mgs of elemental calcium, so half an eggshell may provide enough calcium to meet the average daily requirements. It doesn’t affect the flavor of your food so you can add it to any dish, smoothie or even water.

How to store Eggshell powder

Use within 3 or 4 days of preparation and store in a sealed container in the fridge.
