Sprouting into 2025
Anyone else notice how alfalfa spouts used to be everywhere, but have nearly disappeared in recent years? You can still find them in health food stores at a premium, but I miss the old availability, and the prices. Why did stores stop selling alfalfa sprouts? Grocery stores became less willing to carry alfalfa sprouts due to multiple recalls. After issues with E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella, many markets considered sprouts a liability. I know this isn't a delicious way to open a story, but I've been curious about this disappearance for a while. There must be others out there....
