How to choose delicious and safe bean sprouts

Clean bean sprouts usually have long roots branching out compared to bean sprouts with short, stubby roots that are darkened by chemical soaking. Additionally, delicious bean sprouts will have slightly thin, unevenly long stems, and a milky white color. In contrast, chemically treated bean sprouts will look more appealing, with uniformly long and thick stems and a bright white color.
Natural bean sprouts have beautiful green seeds, no black spots, and do not separate from the bean sprout stem. You should avoid purchasing bean sprouts that have unusual colors like gray or black,… and have a strange smell or are wilted as they are spoiled bean sprouts.
