General information about the eggshell
An egg shell is made of calcium carbonate, which is also the main ingredient in some antacids. Each medium-sized egg shell has approximately 750-800 mg of calcium.
The shell forms 9-12 percent of the total weight of an egg, and contains pores that allow oxygen to enter in and carbon dioxide, in addition it allows moisture to flow out.
The color of the shell of an egg is representative of the breed of hen that produces the egg. White hens produce white eggs and brown hens produce brown eggs.
Contrary to popular belief, there is no evidence that brown eggs have more nutrients than white eggs
