Store Bean Sprouts
Bean sprouts that are left in the bag can go slimy if not used quickly. These methods of storing will help keep them for a bit longer, in great condition.

Steps
Water and lemon
- Remove the bean sprouts from the packaging bag.
- Place the bean sprouts in a bowl. The bowl needs to be large enough to take both the sprouts and water that will cover them.
- Fill the bowl with water. Pour enough to cover the sprouts with water.
- Add a few slices of lemon. The water and the lemon will keep the bean sprouts fresh for longer.
- Keep in the refrigerator.
Absorbent paper or fabric
- Choose a container that is airtight and large enough to fit the amount of sprouts intended for storage.
- Place two layers of either cheesecloth or kitchen paper towels on the base of the container. This lining will absorb all excess moisture.
- Tip the bean sprouts into the container.
- Put the lid on. Place in the refrigerator for short storage.
Tips
- Sprouts should be eaten within four days of purchase, unless otherwise noted by the packaging.
