Sprouts are packed with nutrients and great for salads, sandwiches, and snacks. But there is a high chance of spoilage if they are not stored properly. Here’s how you can keep them fresh and crunchy for days.
Always rinse sprouts thoroughly under cold water to remove dirt and bacteria. Take off excess water before storing them.
Store sprouts in an airtight container lined with a paper towel to absorb the moisture. Dry them before storing, as dampness can spoil the sprouts.
Place the container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
If you are storing the sprouts for longer, replace the paper towel every other day to prevent sogginess and bacterial growth.
Consume sprouts within 3 to 5 days for the best taste and nutrition. Always check for any off smell or sliminess before use.
