and yes, it is.. apparently it just can't be kept sterile enough and the warm, moist environment spreads e coli and others really well.

so.. no more sprouts...

just do your own. we do. it is super simple. just make sure to rinse a couple times a day. you can have sprouts in 3 days. and lots of variety. -- nm* - Andie Apr 1, 08:02 1

Have you tried Belgium? I believe there are sprouts in Brussels -- nm - crash davis Apr 1, 07:56 1

We used to grow our own when I was a kid. -- nm - znufrii Apr 1, 07:50 3
- Not as a kid, but in the 70s :) Bean sprouts were big back then - along with macrame and chrocheted ponchos. -- nm - Meg Apr 1, 07:52 1
  - bean sprouts are still widely available for asian cooking.. i guess because those are farm/field grown it's got better control? -- nm - colin Apr 1, 07:53
- we may give it a go... not that it's any safer, i suppose. i miss them on sandwiches. -- nm - colin Apr 1, 07:51
