Hello All!

I know the reason is probably the salmonella scare and, indeed, it has
long been a problem with bean sprouts but it has become impossible to
buy loose sprouts. The price of a package makes using sprouts
excessively expensive for me since I most often just cook for myself and
would need about a quarter of a bag. I've known about the bacteria
problem for many years and, for twenty years, I have always quickly
blanched them before using, even in salads.

However, does anyone know how long a package of store bought sprouts
will keep in the fridge since I don't cook oriental food every night?

Please don't tell me to sprout my own. I've done that and it is fun for
the first few times but I simply don't grow things in my kitchen.
