Here’s Why You Should Not Throw Away Eggshells

Sweeten Coffee and Make it 

Less Acidic

Using eggshells in preparing your coffee may sound extremely unusual, and even a tad gross. However, this is the old-school way of reducing the bitterness of coffee grounds.

The alkaline calcium carbonate content of the eggshells combats the acidity of the coffee, thereby altering its taste and making it less bitter. Moreover, reducing the acidity of the coffee is an added health boost you don’t want to miss.

How do you go about it?

Just add 1 teaspoon of crushed or powdered eggshells to your coffee grounds and brew your coffee the way you always do.

Plus, you can toss the used coffee grounds with the eggshell particles in your garden to nourish the soil.
