Hi, I have thought about making the egg water a few times, but I was wondering if I should wash the eggs shells first to make sure there is no raw egg left in the shells. Since the water is only hot and not boiling to cook/kill any bacteria or other cooties. I know this probably sounds silly but raw eggs is someting I stay away from. But I was wondering if that would wash away the nutrients. But at the same time is it soaks then it must be leaching out the minerals the whole time. So I think it would be ok, but I would like to know for sure.
Thank You!!

Thank you so much for the recipe. Is the cooked meat in the chicken broth recipe usable OR do I just throw it away?

I know it’s pathetic, but meat just revolts me at random times right now while I’m in my first trimester, even though I like it normally. Just cooking with it at all makes me want to run out of the kitchen. Can I still consider my broth useful if I just use veggie scraps and eggshells for my broth? Thanks so much, I really loved this article.

(Additionally, I did make the chicken stock a while back and was so proud of myself. Unfortunately I spilled it all over my refrigerator after only using it once. Well, that one time turned out great!)

Thanks for those tips, Shoshanna. I,too, prefer a more “natural” way to cook and nourish my family. I will buy the recipe book from the Herb Store..May God continue to bless and keep you and your family.

It should last at least 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator.
If you keep it longer than that, make sure you smell it first to make sure it’s still good.

How long does the eggshell “broth” lasts in the refrigerator?

We are a ranching family and always have a supply of beef. I never knew what to do with the knuckle bones, now I do. The beef stock is great! Plus my dogs enjoyed the discarded solids.

Wow! Great information! We live in a city and I have a compost pile. I have thrown eggshells, banana peels, vegetable heads, bones and the like in there without knowing the nutritional benefits my family could ingest from many of these. My husband is an orthopaedics surgeon and many of his patients have arthritis. He could pass these invaluable recipes to them. Thank you for your info.

I use the carcass of whole or rotisserie chickens after I have cooked and carved the meat off a meal, and save the ‘heads’ of vegetables rather than throwing them out. I freeze the end of my lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, and even onion and garlic peels. Then when I am ready t make broth, I place the carcass and all of the veggies in the pot. After cooking I strain well. Save the veggies and put in the compost pile. Since we don’t have a farm, this seems to be the best way to use our scraps.

Many chain type of grocery stores sell beef knuckles. If your grocery store has a butcher, ask them to cut chicken legs in pieces. I don’t have anything to cut bone with at home so that is what I do.
