Small eggs: weight and typical use
Every Small egg is weight-graded on our optical line, candled and crack-screened, then packed to your specification so cartons present uniformly tray to tray.
Small eggs, at 43 to 48 g, are a workhorse grade for institutional kitchens and processing, where egg count and cost per unit matter more than shell size. Caterers, high-volume bakeries and processors buying for consistent weight all take Small grade, frequently as part of a mixed-grade container alongside Medium or Large.
