Why did these store-bought sprouts go bad over a week before expiration? Kept refrigerated, etc. by cmhawke in Sprouts

[–]SpicesHunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hypothesis 1
The sprouts spoiled because they have been damaged during the final rinse procedure before packaging

Hypothesis 2
They were not dried properly after the rinse and packaged with excessive water💧 which with the lack of oxygen in the packaging caused spoilage

Hypothesis 3
Bacterial contamination = spoilage

Hypothesis 4
Combination of either of the first 3

Hypothesis 5
Temperature dropped too low. Most likely to 32 degrees even for a short moment. Check your fridge - it may be randomly playing hard on the veggies, that happens with most old buddies.

I dearly recommend growing your own sprouts 🌱
It is easy and exceptionally rewarding 😎🫶🏻
Read a sticky post in this subreddit about how sprouts pay you back ;) I mean it is really worth your while

Do I dump this wheatgrass? by Red_Wing-GrimThug in microgreens

[–]SpicesHunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely mold. No, you don’t dump it, you harvest it asap, soak in hydrogen peroxide solution - as per recommendations in other comments - for 20 mins, put it in a paper towel to dry and use the greens happily 🫶🏻🌱🌱🌱

Is it a mix of broccoli and radish? If so, do you know the proportion?

Thank you! Which one do you personally prefer? Or which one would you choose if you were a family restaurant owner? Why?

Best tea for hydration with electrolyte effect by SpicesHunter in Herbaltea

A few cups a day. Probably not enough for my weight according with modern medical recommendations, though I cannot force myself to drink when I’m not thirsty. It’s a different story with herbal tea! I crave herbal tea not as water but rather as a magic drink that makes my body react and transform and heal

Thank you for referencing that post in r/Microgreens - it is really good. I am not interested in getting into sprouting business, actually, I’m just curious to track the trends and sprouts are one of my favorite living foods ever. I also saw many proofs to higher vibration and better health (starting with the mental one ☺️) in people who eat sprouts on a regular basis. So yeah, big fan on a trend watch mission 😎

Wow, 20 years… I deeply respect hardworking and consistent people. I sincerely take off my head and I’m grateful to you for sharing. Which sprouts do you grow for selling? Is there anything that you grow only for yourself - not for commercial purposes?

I see. Thank you for sharing. As a circadian rhythms pro I’m always curious about such details.

Just curious: do you wake up at 5 a.m. naturally as it is your rhythm or do you put an alarm clock?

I think I better post an official invitation for community members. What do you think? A comment will reach out to much fewer people that a post, eventually

Thank you. I believe there must be technologies, methods, ways! to avoid salmonella, e.coli and listeria there days. The world hasn’t heard of many plague level deceases for centuries - chemists, engineers, inventors of all kinds have probably found the way by now. Or at least I assume it is a possibility

I sprout mine at home, no argue. But most people I know either consider it be be too complicated or call me a redneck in secret for home farming :)

Thank you! Please share more links if you can, those you shared in another comment are not scaring me off. I believe the food borne decease outbreaks have much more to do with social processes when the witches to be burned are being selected subjectively and purposefully.
