Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for mung bean sprouts (bean sprouts). Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Cotyledons may blacken at low temperatures, a possible chilling symptom, but holding near freezing is still recommended because deterioration is faster when warmer. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
