This was discussed a month or two ago. I don't often buy sprouts so I
had to remember to make a point of looking. One medium size grocery
store had close to a dozen different types of sprouts, but they were all
pre packaged. I have not noticed bulk sprouts in some time, but that
could be because I don't go looking for them. My wife does most of the
grocery shopping these days.
