Eggs, eggs and more eggs. We all know the “Incredible edible egg” jingle from the seventies? People have been eating eggs for thousands of years. Most of us can cook eggs many different ways, and nearly all of us have cooked or baked with eggs at some point.
There are other ways to use eggs that do not involve cooking or eating. Egg shells, egg whites, and even yolks had some other function than to be used in recipes for cooking or baking. Egg tempera, or paints that were made using eggs, was popular during the Early Renaissance era. Egg shells can be used to fortify your plants soil, whole egg shells, with just the tops removed can be used as seed starters, where you fill the egg shell partially with soil, add your seed, and just water and watch it. When the plant sprouts, you can then just plant the entire eggshell into your pots and let the egg shell creak down in the pot.
