Bean sprouts
I know this subject came up before. I thought they were no longer available
for sale. But I noticed some stores selling other types of sprouts. Like micro-greens. I recently bought fresh bean sprouts at Winco and also at Sprouts. A new Sprouts just opened in Lynnwood. Both were re-packaged. |

And how would you know they wrre "trerpackaged"? dn why should we care about either? They have always been for sale, and will always be for sale. Even on your little planet. -sw |

Â* I don't know the package size , but we found that when we bought fresh we usually ended up tossing some because we just don't use that many - kinda like buying a whole head of bok choi for one Oriental dinner . Just looking on eBay , mung beans for sprouting can be had reasonably . Just gotta plan that dinner a few days in advance ... -- Snag Yes , I'm old and crochety - and armed . Get outta my woods ! |

Price fluctuates, but I can always get them (mung bean sprouts) at the major stores except Walmart. I can't get daikon anywhere, but I can still get bean sprouts most places. The grocery stores just need to get reliable suppliers that don't grow the in the portapotty tippings. Telling you they're dangerous is just a copout. |

When I have more bean spouts than I need I blanch them and make a non-fermented kimchi - soy sauce, sesame oil, gochujang, bit of sugar and 6 hours and they're good to go and keep 3-4 days. -sw |

Problem was that I decided what I wanted to make for dinner and couldn't get mung bean sprouts. |

To reduce your risk the site recommends: "Cook sprouts thoroughly to reduce the risk of illness. Cooking kills the harmful bacteria." "Request that raw sprouts not be added to your food. If you purchase a sandwich or salad at a restaurant or delicatessen, check to make sure that raw sprouts have not been added." Don't ask me why, but I was always under the impression people who bought and used fresh bean sprouts were using them raw, added to a salad or as a veggie topping on some sort of sandwich.

Bean sprouts and bok choi when stir fried cook down to about half, and then when sauced cook down even more. It was a very large head of bok choi bought recently so I reserved ten inner stalks to add to a tossed salad, and that's what I'm eating right now. I've never found that Chinese greens go off quickly, a fresh head of bok choi will easily keep well for three weeks in the fridge... it's a type of cabbage. Bean sprouts go off after a week, but I don't see them for sale any more. I don't try to save stir fry veggies, I prepare them all right away. I can finish a 4 quart pot of chow mein in two days. However eaten raw in a salad they are a lot more filling. I like the white part of bok choi as crudites for dipping, cut into sticks it good for dipping in salsa. |

Telling you they're dangerous >is just a copout. Depending on location bean sprouts don't sell before they spoil, and the stores need to buy a fairly large crate from the wholesaler. The only Oriental veggies stocked around here is bok choy and napa, and only a minimal delivery once a week... often I can't buy bok choy as it's sold out.... I don't list Ginger root in that group but I can buy that, There are very few Orientals living in this area and only one Chinese take out in town and their food is disgusting... they sell something called Boneless Spareribs... I've no idea what cut of meat it is and I'll never buy it again, tossed it out for the critters. |

I think I read or saw on the news that the food fad of micro greens are all suspect. Lemme check. Yup. Google "micro greens food safety" if interested. I'm not. Bean sprouts are the original micro greens. Anybody here eat romaine lettuce? leo |
