What grit can I use other than ground egg shells?

Hello all!
Long time lurker, first time poster here.
I've been vermicomposting since April and everything has been going wonderfully.
I just put the second layer on my bin yesterday and have plenty of cocoons and have spotted a few baby worms too.
I would like to add a little grit with each feeding to help the worms along a little, but living in a vegan household, we have no egg shells to grind up. What could I use instead? I know that adding grit isn't essential but, as I say, I want to make life easier for my little guys and maybe even speed up the chomping a bit.
Thank you in advance,
Louise
