Nutrition for crops
Dr. David Robinson, an agricultural expert at the University of Reading (UK), said that egg broth, if not seasoned with salt or vinegar during the cooking process, will contain calcium, phosphorus and protein from the skin and intestines leaked out during the boiling process.
Egg boiling water is a natural fertilizer rich in minerals, especially calcium - a nutrient necessary for the development of roots and cell structure of plants.
When left to cool, the egg boiling water can be used to water ornamental plants and vegetables at home. This method helps the plants stay healthy, the leaves are green without the need for chemical fertilizers.
Clean kitchen appliances
The amount of minerals in the egg boiling water can help soften dirt. Pour this water into a pot or pan with stuck residue and heat gently to make it easier to clean.
In addition, egg broth can also be soaked in a slightly rusty scissor to brighten the metal surface.
Increasing minerals for animal feed
In many European countries, egg boiled water is used to cool and mix into chicken, duck, pork feed... to supplement natural minerals, helping livestock grow faster and become healthy without the need for synthetic supplements.
Make a mineral hair mask
Some beauty experts also share how to use egg boiled water (cooled and filtered carefully) as a hair mask. After shampooing, use this water to rinse your hair to increase shine, because it contains protein and light minerals that help nourish hair fibers.
Notes when using
- Do not use water with salt, vinegar or spices because it can harm the plant and skin.
- Make sure the boiling water is clean, without broken egg shells or impurities to avoid infection.
- Only when the water has completely cooled, especially when used on the skin or plants.
Although it is thought to be waste, egg broth contains many unexpected uses in life. From plant care, cleaning items, to hair care, everything can be done easily at home.
Instead of wasting, take advantage of this seemingly useless water to live greener and more frugal every day.
