As you already know, eggs are a very common staple food in Nigeria and the world at large. The fact that it is a primary condiment in the making of most of our confections (confectioneries) and snack foods is further proof of it’s high consumption.

It is no doubt a very necessary appetizer prior to main course meals, it is tasty whichever way you choose to serve it; whether as fried eggs (my best), boiled eggs, baked or as omelets and many more. It is a high protein and fatty food, hence most hypertensive as advised to consume minimally due to the danger of building up fat sedimentation in blood vessels.

Well, I wanted to leave out all the juiciness and tastiness of the wholesome part of the egg and talk about “he who is usually neglected” – the eggshell. The eggshell has got to get some credit! It’s about time we get more acquainted with its awesome role and benefits asides that it keeps the wholesome part protected.

Eggshells present healthy, balanced calcium due to trace amounts of other minerals contained in it. Eggshell calcium is probably the best natural source of calcium, and it is easier for your body to digest and absorb.
