Description
Bean Sprouts are a lovely addition to any dish! In most cases, bean sprouts can be used raw or lightly cooked but should be used as quickly as possible to preserve flavor. These sprouts are identified by their relatively thick, tender ivory-colored sprouts with a golden-yellow leaf stem end. The slightly crunchy texture and sweet flavor of bean sprouts make them a popular addition to a wide variety of recipes. Sprouts must be produced from an HAACP-certified facility such as Deluxe Produce.
