Storage times

Refrigerator: 2-3 days

Preparation times

Heat the sprouts: briefly immerse in boiling water (5 seconds) or stir-fry with the meal.

Cleaning alfalfa

It is a good idea to wash alfalfa well before use and at least briefly dip it in hot water.

Alfalfa is also edible raw. However, there is a risk that raw alfalfa (like bean sprouts) may be contaminated with various bacteria such as salmonella or E. coli. Small children, the elderly and people with diminishing resistance should pay particular attention to this.

This way you reduce the risk:

• It is important to wash alfalfa well under running water before use.
• Store the sprouts in the fridge (4°C).
• Heat the sprouts: briefly immerse in boiling water (5 seconds) or stir-fry them with your meal.
