I don’t think they have small eggs anymore, however, medium eggs is what I’d call small, large eggs I’d call medium, and then you have the extra large and jumbo and I’ve noticed they are also smaller.

Growing up my mom raised chickens and they produce really large jumbo eggs. Sometimes you could get 2 yolks in one egg.

I’ve been seeing a lot of recipes that use egg substitutes, apple sauce, banana, tofu. Also the liquid from garbanzo beans can be substituted for egg whites. I have whipped them up and it really looks like beaten egg whites.

Plus we can raise them ourselves and choose what kind of chickens and eggs we’d like to consume.
