How to Store Bean Sprouts

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.
