How to Make Powdered Eggshells:

• Simply collect organic eggshells.
• Place the eggshells in the boiling water to kill off any bacteria and harmful pathogens that may be living.
• In the meantime, heat the oven to 200 degrees.
• After the shells are boiled, transfer them to a cookie sheet. Then bake the shells in the oven at 200 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Finally, remove them from the oven. Blend in a coffee grinder or high-speed blender (like a Vitamix) until you get a very fine powdered consistency (very important!)
• Store them in your Mason jar for future use.
