Ever wonder how to put the milky cloaks of your morning yolks to use? Wander no more young breakfast warrior! You have stumbled upon the eco tip to top all eggy quips.
The UK consumed 14.5 billion eggs in 2025. This means a whole lot of eggshells getting clucked to an untimely demise.
No longer !
Eggshells can be channelled to fuel new forms of life in a number of ways!
- If added to ground coffee before brewing, egg shells can reduce bitterness. Symbiosis on your breakfast tray !
- Crush and scatter into soil to make for a mineral-rich flower bed.
- Together with your coffee grounds and tea bags, chuck your eggshells into your compost bin. *
So, next time you hear the crack, dribble, splash and sizzle as your egg hits the scalding heat of your trusty frying pan, remember to set the shells aside, let them dry, and bestow upon them another life.
