About Bean sprout
Sprouts are germinated in water and shipped alive, which puts them in a handling class of their own: the FDA produce safety rules carry requirements written specifically for sprouts. The New York list splits in two. Mung bean sprouts are a bulk staple bought by the pound, largely for Asian kitchens; the specialty sprouts (alfalfa, radish, sunflower) are bought by the case of retail-size cups for sandwich work and garnish. Germination takes days rather than a season, so supply is steady and the case price reflects the container count and the grower far more than the weather.
Buying notes
Specialty sprouts are quoted by the case of cups and the same variety can appear in a half case, so read the count before comparing two lines; bean sprouts are the exception and are quoted by the pound. Nothing in this group holds — sprouts are ordered against the day they are used, not against the week.
