How can I keep sandwich sprouts fresher longer?
I love sprouts (crunchy, spicy, gourmet... the kind you get in the plastic containers at the grocery store) on my sandwiches, but they seem to go bad within 2-3 days of buying them. Is there a way to store them that they'll stay good longer? I've been keeping them in the container they came in, in the crisper of my fridge. Thanks!
Answers: Lord, we have opposite problems, mine never go bad. I leave them in the container, but add a damp/wettened paper towel to the bottom and keep the lid on. I just omit it from the crisper drawer. usually keeps for about a week or so.
For some reason, the crisper drawer seems to make my veggies to bad faster, so I resort those to bread and beverages... this might be a urban legend but i heard those things are full of dirt and bugs and are one of the filthiest food products you can buy
to keep them fresh try taking them out of the container they come in washing them really well wrap lightly in a couple paper towels then put in crisper....oh by the way i love peas
