About Large Eggs

Large eggs are a staple in baking, known for their versatility and multifunctional role. They consist of a yolk and an egg white, each contributing unique properties. The yolk adds richness and moisture, while the whites provide structure and volume when whipped. Eggs act as a binder, holding ingredients together, and help with leavening due to their ability to trap air. They impart a subtle richness and enhance flavors in cakes, cookies, and breads, making them indispensable in achieving the desired texture and structure in baked goods.
