What is the weight for a dozen jumbo eggs?

A dozen jumbo eggs is defined to weigh at least 30 ounces. This classification under egg size standards is established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Jumbo eggs are the largest size category, and the specific weight ensures that they meet consumer expectations and market guidelines for this size.

The accurate weight for jumbo eggs is based on a standard that takes into consideration the size and weight consistency necessary for the poultry industry. Jumbo eggs are heavier than large or medium eggs, which fall into lower weight categories, reflecting their position in the grading system. This standardized weight helps producers, retailers, and consumers identify and choose eggs based on their size needs and recipes.
