Kroger said they don't carry them anymore. And even the health food store
does not have them.

Over the years there have been a number of incidents of (salmonella?)
poisoning. I think it was salmonella. Anyway, many places will no
longer sell sandwiches with them or carry the sprouts for sale.
Apparently sprout seeds can carry these bacteria. I ordered some
alfalfa seeds and mung seeds for sprouting and the packages came with
instructions for soaking the seeds in a mild bleach solution for a
minute or so (don't remember the amount of time) I do see sprouts of
various kinds around here again, just not as numerous as years ago.

Food is an important part of a balanced diet.

Yes, its now 1 year since I used alfalfa sprouts and I don't know for how much time they have been scarce. I have use it only a few times, and now I am using Brussels sprouts and I found that it contain high protein and vitamin C also. And its good from fitness point of view..

Jimmy Johns has them on their menu, but never put them on their subs. ex
frowns a bit when she asks the counter about them.
