Eggs are typically sold by the dozen, which is a unit of twelve eggs. However, in some countries or markets, eggs may also be sold by weight, such as per kilogram. The weight of a dozen eggs can vary depending on the size of the eggs, but a standard large egg weighs approximately 50 grams, so a dozen large eggs would weigh around 600 grams.
