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 ...

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.

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.

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.

And the reason the seeds are so risky is because of generations of
poor growing practices - such as growing them runoff from cow
pastures and people ****ing and shitting in the fields (a common
practice for Mexican pickers as dictation by the owners of the
fields).

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.

Yep! Fred Meyers and Trader Joes don't sell them either. I was shocked!

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.

On Lung Guyland I could buy all the bean sprouts I wanted at the
Hispanic market... an eight pound lug of gorgeous mushrooms too. Of
course they carried lots of tropical produce, much of which I had no
idea how to prepare.

All for 10c a gallon and sold by big-bosomed women who followed you
home, right?

I believe there was a recent otbreak and a lot of places pulled them
off the shelves for a bit. Locally I could still get them at the
American Asian Grocery but they are all locally grown and not affected
by the recall of the shipped ones.

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.

That should have read "pre-pavckaged". They used to be sold bulk.

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

Yep. I know this was discussed here before and they were *not* available for
sale for some time.

I have no idea what yer talking about, but I've tried (unsuccessfully, I
might add) to grow mung bean sprouts in a both pint and quart "wide
mouth" jars (sprouting jars). I usta jes buy mung or soy sprouts at a
distant Asian mrkt, when I still lived in the SFBA.

I think "micro-greens" are merely different types of sprout seeds.

Mung beans are notoriously difficult. Most home sprouters
start with alfalfa or radish.

I first tried more than 40 years ago, and mung beans were pretty much
the only sprout being eaten back then. I gave up after three tries. If
I want fresh sprouts I want them that day. I don't plan my cooking a few
days in advance. Anything stuck into a dark cupboard got forgotten.
Sprouting and I are not compatible.

Here in Hippie Central, we were eating all kinds of sprouts 40-odd years ago.

I'm still quite fond of radish sprouts on an egg salad sandwich, but I
usually make do with finely minced radishes.

That's the problem with sprouts. I didn't want to eat them every day and I
always wound up throwing some out. Nobody else would eat them.
