How To Keep Bean Sprouts Fresh Longer

Step 1

Do not wash the sprouts until you need to use them. Once they get wet, they deteriorate even faster. Pick the tails off if you have a time

Step 2

Store them in a container or plastic bag lined with an absorbent paper towel. The paper towel will absorb extra moisture from the sprouts

Step 3

Loosely place the mung bean sprouts in there and then top with a paper towel and then place more mung bean sprouts on top and then cover with paper towel. About 2 layers instead of packing all in one layer. Store it open. The idea is to give them good circulation and keep them dry so they last longer

Step 4

They can be kept this way for about 5 days before they start to get wet and mushy
