- Clean the Eggshells: Start by thoroughly rinsing the eggshells to remove any egg white residue. It’s essential to use clean shells to avoid any unwanted smells or bacterial growth.
- Dry and Crush the Eggshells: After cleaning, let the eggshells dry completely. Once dry, crush them into a fine powder. You can use a mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder for this step.
- Mix with Coca-Cola: Pour one can of Coca-Cola into a glass and stir in the powdered eggshells. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes. The eggshells will partially dissolve, creating a fizzy, chalky solution.
Why Try This Mix?
- Rich in Calcium: Eggshells are primarily made up of calcium carbonate, a compound that can help replenish calcium in the body. When mixed with the acidic nature of Coca-Cola, the calcium becomes more available for absorption.
- Fun Science Experiment: The reaction between the acidic Coca-Cola and the alkaline eggshell powder creates a mild fizzing effect, which can be fun to observe. It’s a simple kitchen science experiment that showcases a chemical reaction.
