There’s no shortage of labels on eggs these days—big jumbos organic free-range etc. But what about the grading system? And do you really need to buy the highest quality eggs? It depends on how you plan to cook with them. Here we’ll explore what makes one egg a Grade AA and another a Grade A (and sometimes a Grade B).
Egg grading is a voluntary service offered by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and paid for by egg producers. It involves grading eggs into one of three grades: Grade AA Grade A and Grade B. Each grade is determined by assessing the internal quality of the egg and the external quality of the eggshell. Eggs of the same grade may be different sizes (from Jumbo to Peewee) or colors (brown or white).
