To use clover sprouts, gently rinse them under cool water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Avoid vigorous washing, as this can damage their fragile structure. They are best added to dishes just before serving to maintain their crispness. Incorporate them into your favorite salads, layer them into sandwiches or wraps for an extra crunch, or sprinkle them over cooked dishes as a fresh garnish. Their mild flavor makes them a versatile complement to a wide range of ingredients.

How to keep the rest
To keep clover sprouts fresh, store them in their original packaging or a breathable container in the refrigerator. Ensure they are kept cool and dry. It is best to use them within a few days of purchase for optimal freshness and texture. Avoid storing them with ethylene-producing fruits, as this can accelerate spoilage.
