Jumbo eggs are a size classification for chicken eggs that are larger than standard large eggs. Typically, a jumbo egg weighs about 30 ounces per dozen, with each individual egg weighing around 2.5 ounces or more. They are often used in recipes that require a larger volume of egg, such as baking or making omelets. These eggs are produced by hens that are usually older or larger breeds. The size of the egg can vary based on factors like the hen's diet, age, and overall health. Jumbo eggs are popular in commercial markets and are often labeled as such for consumer convenience.
