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.

What, did you think they were illegal? 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.

I tried recently to buy sprouts. I was told at Albertsons they didn't
carry them anymore because of cases of food poisoning in sprouts some
years ago. I gave up looking in my city but Julie just said she got
them at a store we have here.

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 ...

I wouldn't trust anything the produce people say at your store.
they've been here forever. 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.

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

No they haven't. Most stores quit selling them because people kept getting
food poisoning.

I saw radish sprouts and a couple other kinds at Whole Paycheck the last
time I was there.

My regular grocery has mung bean sprouts, but they always look like they're
on their last legs. If I want those, I stop in at the Korean grocery.

Okay, not that I'd be looking for or buying bean sprouts, but I read the
information on the link. Here's the thing I don't understand. 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. Go figure.

Radish sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, and broccoli sprouts are (or were)
common on sandwiches.

Not all sprouts are bean sprouts.

Â* Well , it wouldn't be a problem for me , I'm home pretty much all the
time . Just one more "plant" to tend - I've probably got close to 40
house plants and garden seedlings going right now . (A lot of those
house plants will be sold for Mother's day gifts.)

Perhaps what you bought isn't as fresh as you think. 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.

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.

The information from foodsafety.gov does not indicate that only
bean sprouts are risky.

Those other types are more commonly eaten raw. Bean sprouts are generally
cooked at least a little bit.

Yes, I have always added them to sauces, stir fry etc. They would be safe

Stir fried bean sprouts are barely even warmed in a good stir fry. It's
a shame that they have turned out to be such a risky food to eat raw
because they are so good that way.

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?
