Fresh bean sprouts from a produce department can be
pretty iffy too. The only store I felt comfortable buying them was
from Brentwood Market on Lung Guyland... a fairly large market famous
for ethnic foods... was always written up in newspapers. Could buy
fresh produce by the case, I always bought my MIL full flats of fresh
'shrooms... every one perfect. They had a fabulous butcher shop that
specialized in Latin cuts... helped if you habla Espanol.
Unfortunately it's no longer there, now is all condos.
