TIL those can be selected
While eggs are being prepared for shipment and packaged they are inspected, or "candleled". A light is shone through the eggs, which makes things like defects, rot, or blood vessels apparent so those eggs can be removed from the line.
Presumably this company processes eggs on such a scale that they pull the double yolks found during candling and sells them as a separate product.
What's the advantage? Why would I want to buy double yolk eggs? Never ever seen it in a shop in europe.
Maybe for someone with a specific baking recipe in mind? One of the egg noodle recipes I like calls for about as many extra yolks as whole eggs. So I could probably just use these without waste or having to make a separate recipe to use up the whites. I've never seen this at stores near me either in the US.
Aren’t they around the same volume as a single yoke?
A yoke is probably significantly larger than an egg since it's gotta fit on the necks of oxen.
Since those are jumbo eggs, the yolk mass is likely near 2x that of a large.
What if it's a small ox?
