Grading of Eggs
Grade is determined by interior and exterior egg quality.
Grade is designated by letters : AA, A, B.
AA is the best grade.
There is no nutritional difference between the grades.
Most B grades are used by institutional egg users and never make their way to the
grocery store.
2) Grade A egg covers a relatively small area. The yolk is round and upstanding. The thick
white is large in proportion to the thin white and stands fairly well around the yolk
