Re: Refrigerating 2 day old sprouts

[Guest guest]

Hi, Kiki,

Welcome! I'm also pretty new to sprouting, but I believe that once you've

stopped the rinse/drain cycles and put your sprouts into the frig, no more

rinsing is required. Depending on how much you've sprouted and how long you're

planning to keep in the frig, you might want to wrap them in a towel to absorb

any moisture they give off. The few times I've had more sprouts than I could use

in a day or so, the frig container I put them in got a lot of moisture collected

on the lid, just like other greens I buy and attempt to keep for several days in

the frig. My solution with those greens is to put a towel in the bag/container

with them, so I think it would be similar with sprouts.

But someone with more experience sprouting should probably address the

" long-term " storage.

Just curious. Why would you refrigerate your sprouts at 2 days of growth?. That

would have never occurred to me. I grow them for 5 days, put them in my electric

salad spinner, they dry PERFECTLY, I put them in ziplock bags, and have NEVER

had one bag go bad due to mold or wetness or anything. They key is to get them

as dry as possible before refrigerating them.

Hope this helps, Melody
