primarily on sandwiches and salads but also in general. discuss.

i can't decide how i feel about them. i always add them to sandwiches but then 1/2 way through they get a little hairy for me and i pick them all off.

love? hate? do they even have a purpose?



and p.s. there was just an alfalfa sprouts recall recently

8/2/2010 11:37:03 PM

ramen noodles + alfafa sprouts = win

8/2/2010 11:40:32 PM

oh, I'll give you something hairy to chew on

i like bean sprouts

8/2/2010 11:45:48 PM

i LOVE bean sprouts. i guess i could have made this a sprouts appreciation thread but i'm unsure about alfalfa sprouts. hmmmm.

"ramen noodles + alfafa sprouts = win "

really? do you add them on top after you cook it? do they get all limp and weird? i'm intrigued!

8/2/2010 11:47:01 PM

no

put them in with the ramen to cook

[Edited on August 2, 2010 at 11:48 PM. Reason : bean sprouts are also good in ramen]

8/2/2010 11:47:45 PM

they are like .50/lb at the international farmer's market. 1lb of sprouts is a hell of a lot of sprouts.

well, actually they are mung bean sprouts, not alfalfa sprouts. but cheap and tasty nonetheless.

you can add them to ramen after its cooked. its like a poorer man's pho.

mmmm. i googled ramen sprouts and found some gourmet ramen recipes. who knew?


ok i knew but i just have never tried making gourmet ramen. mmm bean sprouts.

I like alfalfa sprouts on tuna sandwiches.

[Edited on August 3, 2010 at 12:41 AM. Reason : tuna salad]

8/3/2010 12:41:13 AM

I like them in all forms. You can throw them on a sandwich, throw them in a salad, throw them on meat, cook them, eat the raw; whatever.
They're a great supply of vitamins that you don't find in a lot of other plant life.
I like them no matter how they are prepared, but they're great at soaking up Teriyaki or Soy sauce.

bean sprouts are so much better than alfalfa. I agree with your 1st post. they get to hairy.

8/3/2010 7:59:31 AM

i love sprouts....so juicy!!

8/3/2010 8:17:06 AM

just make sure you wash them things before eating them. they have a higher rate of transmitting bacteria compared to other veggies.

8/3/2010 8:23:27 AM

I sprout mung beans on a damp paper towel in my desk drawer. Very nutritious, but they smell like death.

8/3/2010 8:37:12 AM

Damn LunaK beat me to it

8/3/2010 8:38:58 AM

Great for the horses.

Great for the horses.

8/3/2010 8:45:52 AM

I bought some yesterday for the first time in quite a while and was excited. I love them on sandwiches. I sometimes put them in salads but then I usually have the same reaction halfway through, like, "Why did I think this was a good idea?"

Bean sprouts are delicious.

8/3/2010 12:41:55 PM

i ain't no cow, i don't eat no got dang alfalfa

8/3/2010 3:59:15 PM

i guess i should have made this a sprout appreciation thread instead of just a question about alfalfa sprouts

i love other sprouts. these are just more pube like and so half way through eating them on a sandwich or salad i'm like "ewwwww hairrrrrrrr"

but i still eat them anyway.

omnomnomnom bean sprouts and sunflower sprouts.

8/3/2010 4:41:17 PM

mung beans are the best

i love them, not so much for the taste but the texture. it's a good crunchines to add to a salad or sandwich/wrap. and for some reason they go particularly well with guacamole.

8/3/2010 6:56:59 PM

if they put alfalfa sprouts on a KFC double down, i just might eat them.

but seriously, i don't like sprouts in general. it's not that they taste bad, i'm just not into the texture of them.

8/3/2010 9:35:16 PM

eating some now!

but then i got sick of them and scraped most of them off. this is what always happens. for awhile i'm like "MMMM" and then i'm like "PUBBBESSS"

10/1/2010 12:49:48 AM

wtf - did you gag reflex on your sandwich?

10/1/2010 2:03:57 AM

Alfalfa sprouts = nom. They taste the way grass smells.

10/1/2010 10:10:52 AM

I lu dem!!! add some avocado and alfalfa sprouts to my Turkey delight sandwich on a power bagel at Einstein Bagel, please. I am in heaven.

10/1/2010 10:13:16 AM

^^^ nahhh. i just pulled most of them off and fed them to my dog

^ YES. avocado OR avocado spread is a must on sandwiches

you know what sprouts are, right? they are plants... plants which have just grown out of the seed and are still tiny in size.

apologies if you know... but i have my doubts!

if you are asking about nutrition... they are highly nutritious, and in general more nutritious than fully grown plants.

duhhhh. isn't that why they are called SPROUTSSSSS??

and yea, i knew the nutrition. blah blah blahhhhhh.

i meant more like what they add to food. taste, texture, crunch, pleasure and sometimes a pube-like presence.

i think i like them on salads more than sandwiches. but i also like other kinds of sprouts more than alfalfa. less pube-ish

10/1/2010 6:15:51 PM

you know what's oddly good?

sandwiches that already are great with guac, add some alfalfa sprouts on top of the guac

10/1/2010 7:33:42 PM

alfalfa sprouts are little morsels of pure win. bean sprouts as well.

10/1/2010 7:35:07 PM

there are so many people that call alfalfa sprouts brussel sprouts.

both are disgusting
