What it is

They offer a tender bite and a mild, slightly sweet taste. This product is ready to eat, requiring no further preparation beyond rinsing. They are a simple way to add fresh, living food to your meals.
How people cook with it

To use, simply open the container and gently rinse the sprouts under cool water. Drain them well. You can add them directly to your prepared dishes.
