How To Make Organic Eggshell Powder
(Scroll below for updated post and current price of home-made eggshell powder (using better quality off-white eggshells) as we're no longer selling the imported eggshell powder in our website)
Mom & Dad spent 2 hours doing up our organic eggshell powder today. We've blogged about it in 2008 when Mom 1st attempted at it. But there're some changes now & we hope to be more detailed about how we do it.
If anyone's interested in making it for their dogs, below are the detailed steps involved.
Above brand is no longer available, hence we're on Ovaston Organics Eggs now
Wash the shells (we wash with Diamond Water so that chlorine is not absorbed into the organic eggshells) & sun-dry them. The membranes are peeled off & fed raw to us together with the insides as they provide good calcium for the joints

Buy the eggs. This is 1 of the brands we're fed with thrice a week

Wash the shells (we wash with Diamond Water so that chlorine is not absorbed into the organic eggshells) & sun-dry them. The membranes are peeled off & fed raw to us together with the insides as they provide good calcium for the joints
This' the amount of organic eggshells which Mom so carefully collected after feedin the eggs to us twice a week.
Bake them at 148.8 deg C (300 deg F) for 10 minutes. Accordin to Dr. Pitcairns book, this removes a mineral-oil coatin sometimes added to keep eggs from dryin out. It also makes the shells dry & brittle enough to grind to a fine powder. Grind well enough to eliminate sharp, gritty pieces.
REMEMBER to peel off the labeled parts after they're baked as the ink cannot be injested

Put them into the grinder
How it looks like after grindin
Sift the powder out with an extremely fine sifter. Those that are unrefined can't pass thru the sifter.
Organic Lecithin Granules
Organic Thorvin Kelp Meal
Mix everythin up & you'll get a nice jar of Healthy Powder
Natural Bonemeal (for customers' Healthy Powder)
We get this much of powder after an hr odd
The mess you can be sure to expect while doing this
Powder on the left. Bigger unrefined pieces on the right (parts that cannot be ground to a powdery form).
Beautiful
Note the difference in form & texture (do not dispose off the unrefined pieces. they can be kept & added onto the mixture of Healthy Powder too)
The organic eggshell powder will be put into a glass jar to be refrigerated
This can last us for a year odd!
A clearer pix of it (taken last year).
Updates:
If you aren't using organic eggshells, try to get the whitish ones which are slightly more expensive and better than the regular brown ones. We're now selling the white eggshell powder and no longer the imported eggshell powder. There's much difference in the end-result of the powder between the commercial imported one and home-made one.
The organic eggshell powder will be mix with other organic food (below) to be made into Healthy Powder.
Organic Nutritional Yeast
