Green bean sprouts can be refrigerated for a few days

Green bean sprouts can generally be stored in refrigeration for 2-3 days, and the actual storage time depends on factors such as storage method, freshness level, and packaging sealing. Fresh mung bean sprouts have high moisture content and delicate tissue, so they should be kept dry and breathable when refrigerated. If the product is not cleaned and has roots after purchase, it can be loosely wrapped in a fresh-keeping bag and placed in the refrigerator's refrigerated area to avoid squeezing or sealing too tightly. During storage, check daily for yellowing, softness, or odor, and discard immediately if such situations occur. It is recommended to control the refrigeration temperature at around 4 ℃. If the temperature is too high, it can accelerate spoilage, while if it is too low, it may cause frostbite. If the mung bean sprouts have been cleaned or rooted, the storage time will be significantly shortened. It is recommended to consume them within 24 hours. Vacuum packaging or soaking in clean water for refrigeration can be extended to 3 days, but the taste will gradually deteriorate. Some pre packaged bean sprouts sold by supermarkets may have a slightly longer shelf life when refrigerated due to sterilization treatment, but it is still recommended to consume them as soon as possible according to the packaging label date. Green bean sprouts are rich in vitamin C and dietary fiber. It is recommended to buy and eat them now for optimal nutrition. If short-term storage is required, it can be blanched, drained, and frozen for about a week, but it is only suitable for frying after thawing. When making daily purchases, priority should be given to fresh bean sprouts with white and straight stems and tightly closed bud petals, to avoid purchasing spoiled products with existing mucus or odor. Before cooking, rinse repeatedly with running water to thoroughly remove any remaining bacteria or culture medium.
