Calcium is a vital mineral for building strong bones and teeth, while also supporting kidney function, heart rhythm, and blood coagulation.
If you're low on calcium, a simple kitchen hack can help: incorporate clean eggshells into your cooking.
Calcium is indispensable in our daily diet, powering bone health, dental strength, and essential bodily functions like kidney performance, steady heartbeats, and proper blood clotting.
Common sources include dairy products like cheese, milk, and fresh cream, as well as calcium-rich mineral waters.
For a creative, zero-waste boost, save your eggshells—they're packed with bioavailable calcium.
Winter soups are perfect for this: after preparing your soup, add a few clean, crushed eggshells and let them simmer briefly to infuse calcium.
Remove them before serving. As a dietitian who's used this method for years, I swear by a fine-mesh strainer—it catches every piece in seconds. I scoop them out with a fork, discard, and return any trapped soup bits to the pot for maximum flavor.
